Humans make judgments - every hour of every day.
To say that we should not be judgmental is to pretend some false neutrality.
That does not mean to offer one's opinion where it is clearly not needed or wanted -
But when a person requests feedback - then if it is done fairly, but honestly, it is appropriate.

When we give out children everything - it loses all value.
When a person is 30, he or she should be on their own even in difficult economic times.
I can understand a person who has a financial setback - but I don't think this is the case here.
For parents, keeping a child dependent can also be an attempt to forestall becoming older.
It goes both ways.

Our poster here has many thing to deal with - far more than any bicycle tour would address.
If jobs are hard to come by, then volunteering in a soup kitchen daily would go far.
I love touring - but showing up every day for someone else is something that is far more valuable.
