Do you mean like husband or wife? Ma Babee should know how to handle me by now. Everyone should have someone in their life that is a positive influence in the things that a person does or not do.
I think that it's a negative reflection on the personal maturity and sophistication of a person to have a need for a handler. It's a detriment to their development of the maturity needed to be able to function as an adult, with their own individual identity.
