A letter to Nancy and Robert...
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Doback,
I wanted to inform you, that you children Brennan and Dale’s behavior is not appropriate. They are forty year old men who live at home, with no job and no responsibilities. It is at this time in their life where they should have jobs and families of their own. I wanted to understand what went wrong? Yes, you heard it correctly. What went wrong? How are you parenting and how could you have prevented this situation?
When I saw your sons sitting on the couch with ice packs after a wicked fight on the lawn with weapons such as a bike and a golf club, I knew you had a serious problem on your hands. I believe your children never left their inner child behind, which is perfectly fine because every adult still has their inner child deep inside. Just some adults have their inner child too deep inside. You are not bad parents, you just used bad parenting strategies and the results left you with two very irresponsible, relying sons. When you are an adult with many responsibilities, it can be hard to let your inner child come out. When is it appropriate to show your inner child? Well I can tell you, it’s not at a job interview or work. (unless you work with kids)
You of all people know how important it is to show support to your kids no matter what they are going through, but when they rely on you for everything and don’t know how to take care of their everyday basic needs, it becomes worrisome. I understand that It can be hard to give the extra push for them to leave the nest, but if you don’t, you’ll end up it the predicament you are in now. Show them that it is ok to have their inner child stand out, let them know it is ok to be different but also teach them the ways to be a successful adult who understands consequences and accepts responsibility for their actions.
Sincerely,
Taylor Mowbray
