The son got a little touchy about a 'proud dad' comment to a professional post.
Published: Nov. 01, 2023, 3:05 a.m.My younger son is 29. We have a good relationship. He lives an hour away and we see each other or talk every few weeks , but his mom and I try to respect that he has developed his own circle and his own life.
He posted the promotion announcement and in the “comments” section I wrote simply, “Congratulations, and all the best ...” Was I wrong to comment in the way I did, since he is my son? I will make no online response, but would like some insight as to what to say to him when we talk again. Did I overstep? Did he?You are a proud parent, and you responded to this professional announcement in a relatively low-key manner.
