or always apologizing for something in my bf's life? My bf is an only child and his parents obviously dont have a life, like at all. But he's 22 and all the emails end with "LOVE DAD". It really turns me off seeing his parents treat him like a baby. Is it normal? Do guy's parents do that?

ewwww LOVE DAD? eewwww his parents love him.... ewwwww.
Yeah. That's what parents do. It's both annoying and embarassing but at least they're always there for you when your girlfriend dumps you because they love you too much. You know?

I am supposed to get permission before involving myself in the matters of another. Most of the time I have been asked to send positive energy when I do so - so yes, permission has been granted. And if theres a reason I feel I want to do something for someone I'm generally going to ask first. But I use common sense too - if someone I know is in the hospital, I'm not going to wait until they wake up so I can ask them if it's alright with them if I send them some positive energy.... that is downright silly to me. I'll take my consequences on stuff like that. But I don't just go sending out energy with every energy request that comes through my inbox either. My ethics dictate that well intentioned meddling is not much different from ill intentioned meddling in the grand scheme of things, but I am always going to be guided by my own view of things and that's my logic regardless of what type of things we're talking about.

He's not treating him like a baby, he's treating him like his son. My husband still says "I love you" to his parents and they still email him all the time. Especially if he is an only child, his dad probably wants to maintain an open relationship with him. He should be grateful that his dad communicates his love, it's a lot better than parents that never say it.

His dad loves him and wants to be in contact with him.
Just because your children are grown and had moved out doesn't mean that you stop worrying about them.
I bet if he called him parents more often his dad would not email as much.
Why would this turn you off? That is silly and very shallow. You should be glad that your boyfriend comes from loving a family that cares for him.

My daughter's father was a complete @sshole to her for her whole life because he was using drugs. Now he is supposedly clean, she is 20 and wants nothing to do with him. He does the same thing to her,leaving messages and emails every day. I think it's a control issue. Your bf's Dad is obviously trying to get something back he has lost.

Normal! When you become a parent you will better understand the bond and how parenting works. I think its great that dad keeps in touch with his son. My ex barely keeps in touch with his 4 kids!!! My kids are ages 8-13!

He should feel lucky that he has parents that love him. And I'm sure that his parents have a life - they just have fun differently from you and your boyfriend. If he has a problem with the emails and calls, he should say something. They are his parents, not yours.

why does this concern you? Most parents still keep in touch with their kids, and most of them would write, "Love, mom/dad"... why wouldn't they? They're his parents!!! That's not treating him like a baby, that's just having a father-son relationship... maybe you didn't get enough hugs when you were a kid...

How does "Love Dad" equate to being treated like a baby? I sense the little green-eyed jealousy monster at work with you.
