[QUOTE="Jabberwockey, post: 643421, member: 18238"] Dads love them and want whats best for them as well. Moms tend to struggle the most with something like this because they are the compassionate ones. They are the ones who kiss the boo boo's better, comfort the child after being bullied at school. Moms are the nurturing caregivers who take care of the nest. Dads are the ones, especially with sons, who prepare the child to leave the nest. The only way for men to know if they have succeeded is to get the child out in the world and see if they succeed. There is pretty much a deadline for dads, late teens or early 20's. The mom thing NEVER goes away. Prime example: We stop by my parents house to visit for a bit. Mom asks are you hungry. We say not really. Mom says are you sure? We go back and forth with this a few times until we agree to sandwiches to make mom happy. As mom is looking in the fridge for sandwich fixings, she starts commenting on this leftover and that leftover and before we know it she is preparing a three course meal for us. [/QUOTE]
