[quote=Anonymous]There is a fine line between being their emotional support and being there during a difficult time or bad day. If you never show emotions to your kids and have them learn listening and empathy that is also bad parenting but… if they are your support system that is also bad. I will call my son and just say hey just distracting myself today since I’m bummed looking for a new job after lay offs. We’ll discuss the weekend or the Olympics or something. Or hey I’m gonna take some space today and watch tv and order food because I had a bad day. I expect something like oh bummer. That’s cool that must suck type of comments, I’m not expecting a full blown sit down support session. [/quote]
