Is There An Honest Man In The House?

[Tuatara]

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

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.

Oh honey, are you OK? Everything is going to be all right. Let me give you a hug....

Ok, just throw me on the floor and do what you will...

Sometimes there is not right thing to say.
You just do stuff, never ASK what you can do for them.
Guess what they need and hopefully fully you will be right.
If I want to feel better, I want someone to basically trash everything else in their life and focus on me.
Do what I tell them to do, but be nearby for my beck and call. I'm not too proud to ask
