This is not the typical.

And to be crystal clear, not typical is par for the course. Not for everyone, only for a few.

Do what you say you’re gonna do.

And don’t tell anyone until it’s done.

He related his story saying he told his son, “We can be friends when you’re 30. For now I’m your dad and will need to make some tough calls to steer you in the right direction.”

Couldn’t help but think of the traditional definition of ‘friend’.

Doesn’t a true friend make tough calls?

Isn’t a true friend’s privilege to be there for someone no matter what?

Can a parent be both?

Most will say absolutely not.

For this reason alone it is intriguing to wonder why is it impossible.
