I think people like to comfort others or else they wouldn't do it. Sometimes it's just hard for people to say the right thing.Kids are grown. Time to let them go..... apron strings and umbilical cords need to be detached.
Your feelings are irrelevant.
You are partly correct. But, on occasion, grown kids can need their Dad.
For advice, if asked.
Not for money - depends on the kid though. Mine are both a mess but, deal with their own messes.
They have ever been on drugs, arrested, or in any kind of financial trouble.
Maybe I am just lucky.
That is not to say they do now have personality issues.
In my opinion, money is the least of what parents do.
When my daughter-in-law miscarried last June, my son needed his Dad. Its what we, as parents, do.
Nothing wrong with being there for comfort
Everyone needs someone (except me) - I hate when people comfort me.
Because I know no one really means it or likes it. It's always fake and awkward.
I'd rather be left alone
