[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know if you’re giving unsolicited advice, but it took my mom until my mid 20s to figure out that me complaining about a tough day at school or work wasn’t an invitation to give me a checklist of all the things I should have done or should do to fix the problem. And of course, many of the problems aren’t immediately fixable (like a boss being rude to me one day).

If you tend to try to be a “fixer,” I recommend asking your kid first if they’re looking for support or advice. [/quote]

I must be very unusual. I welcome suggestions! If I have a problem, someone listening doesn’t really help me. But ideas are so welcome. The stereotype is women don’t like solutions, they just want someone to listen, but that has never applied to me.[/quote]

So you don’t go to other people to talk about unfixable problems like the loss of a loved one?[/quote]

Nope. I have not.

That’s abnormal in a statistical sense. Totally fine for you but not the way most other people socialize. [/quote]
