My husband is 32 with a family and until just recently has always had his parents to fall back on. We lived on their land, in their house, drove their car and worked for their company. There was no way he could fail. Then something happened that forced him to rely completely on himself... do you have any idea how loud a full grown man can whine when he has to pay bills instead of buy a case of 7up? And god forbid he has to hear that a gallon of milk is more important than guitar strings. We can't help but want to be there for them, but it does them no good when they know that no matter what risk they take or problem they create mom's always there with a cup of cocoa and a fat check. Steel yourself and learn to say: wow, sucks to be you, bet you won't do that again. For the love of all that is Merlot, learn to say: that’s life, deal with it.
