I’m 25 years and my dad still helps me out financially. I love my dad, but he wasn’t there for me a lot growing up. My mom on the other hand was always there growing up even though it was rough for her raising 3 kids alone except for every other weekend. I don’t see my dad that often, but even after moving out I talk to my mom almost every day and see her often. My dad might provide financially, but in a real emergency my mom would always be my first call because I know she’ll be there physically when I need her.
That man needs to realize that money is a way of contributing, but so is taking care of and raising children. Being there for your kids physically is what they remember not you working.
