Failure of the parent is what it indicates to me.
Part of parenting success I thought was teaching the bird to fly and LEAVE the nest.
We are raising a lot of woosies with cell phones glued to their heads for feedback on every decision and challenge in life.
We need more people who can think and act alone!
Perfectly summed up!
How is this any different that the dad who eases his son (or daughter or whatever) into the family business?
