I'm ducking here Louis.
Way I read this is the kid is no longer a kid.
He is a grown man tending his mom who is not all that with it.
My sister and i tended our mom after Dad died and she had Alziemers, so that is where the thought comes from for me Louis.
Most times I would suggest listening to the wife.
This time I suggest you keep working this.
And start ducking.
