[QUOTE="OTE, post: 739550"] One of the many reasons I have no contact with my 94 year old mother is that all my life she has been giving unsolicited advice in the guise of being helpful. Well I'm over 60. When my sons were young her so called helpful advice about how to deal with my son's behavior was based on my implied deficiencies as a parent. If I just paid more attention to him, if I was just more x, y, z. He didn't need help, it was because I didn't .... My saying you don't understand, you don't know .... Was all wasted breath. Now my kids tell me I don't know what it's like .... Well no, I'm not a 20's young man in 2018. The job market is tough, nobody wants me because x y z... My saying that you need to dress better for an interview, fill out more applications, do volunteer work to get contacts, etc falls on deaf ears. What I'm saying is that if he wants your advice or perspective let him ask. My advice is don't share unless he asks. [/QUOTE]
