Being her and her family’s boy toy is probably not going to be propitious for him in the long run, though there HAVE been enduring marriages like that.
Anyhow it’s possible to be TOO dutch uncle to be of use in a situation. Driving the lad away or shoving him deeper into her arms is counterproductive. Balanced advice has to point out the upside of doing things right, not just the downside of doing things wrong. It’s possible to be right the wrong way.
It seems like every year the message I get is either I need help to do my job as a father or I'm not doing enough.
I haven't seen seen one that says "For Dad on Mothers Day". What's up with that?
Why do dads have to share their day with graduates and mothers get the day to themselves?
I have to agree that manhood and fatherhood are so much more than just the biological siring of offspring... they have much more to do with behavior modeling for the offspring... I speak as one who had a nasty, woman-hating and child-hating bastard for a sperm donor...
Ping!
>> “For Mom on Father’s Day.”
Noticed “Single mom’s working twice as hard on Father’s Day!” be thrown about on the Interwebs.
I agree. Correspondence from me is done unless he starts it.
