To look at it another way, isn't it nice he put his family ahead of his career? I mean, he still had a job in Binghamton, so it's not like he wasn't coaching, and he was close to his daughter. Win win situation.
I'm not saying it's bad, it's just odd. I have a lot of friends with retired parents when they started university. Their parents did not follow them to whatever city they went to school even though it could have been done.
I wonder if his daughter wanted that?.
I imagine most adults in senior year of university want Independence and their own place.
It might be different for girls, but I moved out after college, but decided to go back to university and moved back home for financial reasons. Do you know how hard it is to pick up in your 20s while you live with mom and dad?
I wonder if his daughter wanted him around, or he wanted to be around his daughter, or both.
I imagine women and men deal with stuff differently. My sisters for example, love to know everything going on with their families, and can spend hours looking at our cousin's new baby pictures. While most of my guy friends are like "God my mom's so annoying, I just want to go get drunk with my friends, she won't stop asking me questions!" Lol
If i was going away for school, i know i wouldn't want my parents following me. I'd want to take that time to learn how to become an adult. Pay bills. Buy groceries. Learn how to make proper meals. etc. Instead i'm immature while my parents make me dinner. lol I feel like being around your parents too much in your 20s can also stunt your maturity. While i live at home and finish school, i don't see myself maturing because aside from having my own car, everything else is like it was in highschool. I havent matured in years other than those 6 months i moved out.
