[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder if some of this has to do with your parent being a man of a certain age. He probably relied on your mother to do lots of things with him and for him and now that has gotten transferred to you. I'd resent that, too, and feel put off by it. Previous posters called it "weak" or "emotionally immature" but I kind of see it more as something inherent to that generation of men. I wonder if your parents both worked or had a more traditional set up with her as a SAHM? (Not important, I'm just curious.)[/quote] She was a SAHM but much more competent and made all the decisions. She didn’t take care of him in a traditional SAHM sense but she was truly the head of household and he just obeyed her orders. I think age is only part of it -OP [/quote]
