re: son has humerus surgery - how to advise my wife?

In all honesty, if your wife has the time to go assist him for a few days... why not let her? I hate the pussification of America as much as the next guy... but like you said you were banged up and it took you a few days to get to where you could take care of yourself again.

I'm sure your son could survive and make it on his own.. but if he is in his last years of law school at 26, give the kid a break. He could be a druggy mooching off you at the moment instead.

I agree.... You didn't say anything about his gf's situation... she might not be able to be around him often to help him, especially if she's in school herself...

At 26 it doesn't really sound like he needs "his mommy'... it sounds like he and/or his gf are overwhelmed with the situation at hand for whatever reason.

I don't see anything wrong with letting your wife go help him.
