As an older parent, it’s tough to know when to allow your kids to start taking care of you.
Those of us in the baby boomer generation need to grow more comfortable with the idea.
I got a little taste of this recently, as our two sons did things that helped me realize that I don’t have to maintain the illusion that I’m in charge.
For instance, at the Tennessee Titans NFL playoff game in Nashville last weekend, our 15-year-old son was especially attentive to his 63-year-old dad.
As we killed time before the game strolling down Broadway in downtown Nashville, he asked me several times if I needed to stop and take a break. I didn’t, but the fact that he was constantly thinking of me made me happy.
