Dad shows love
to adult kids with
excessive coddling
Hi, Carolyn:
Before I say anything else,
I want to say my parents are
wonderful and I’m lucky to
have them both be so loving
and involved with my life and
always willing to step up and
help me.
I’m 28, and I lived at home
until I was 26. My parents and I
are super close. My mom and I
have a more adult relationship,
but I feel like my dad still sees
me as a little kid. He messages
me every night reminding me
to take my pills and brush my
teeth. He sometimes lets him
self into my house and leaves
fruit or veggies in my fridge,
scoops the cat litter box, or does
my yard work. He’ll show up at
my job and take my car to get
some gas, and I only know he
did it because poof! My car is
magically full of gas.
These are obviously acts of
service and how he expresses
his love. I’ve told him he doesn’t
have to and his reply is always,
“I just want to help you as much
as I can.” When I lived at home,
it wasn’t that weird, but now
that I live 40 minutes away... it
feels very weird.
Is there any way I can get him
to back off while still making
it clear I love him very, very
much? I don’t even care that
much, but I know it kind of bugs
my fiance, and I wonder if co
workers notice the strange man
who periodically steals then
returns my car.
He lives within walking dis
tance of my older sister and
does all this for her as well, and
she doesn’t seem to mind.
— Dad’s Not-So-Little Girl
I have many thoughts on this,
mostly supportive, but I won’t
keep them straight till I say this:
If you share a home with
other adults, then he cannot
let himself in without their
granting him access. Hard no.
Doesn’t matter if he’s leaving
fresh fruit or wads of cash.
Now the thoughts. Three
people have a say — dad, you,
fiance, not co-workers! —involv
ing three concepts: intent, con
sent, transparency.
With your dad, intent matters.
Such intrusive caregiving can
be an exercise of love or con
trol, or a combination of both.
If you identify any signs of
control, then put a stop to his
coddling for your own emo
tional health. Under the guid
ance of a therapist, if needed.
Chat with Carolyn online at noon
each Friday at www.washingtonpost.
com.
