Whoa, whoa, whoa... you didn't ask about which PART of the Peter Pan complex I admired in Lee. I admire his almost innocent joy in the simplest of things, the way he is the most wonderful playmate, his curiosity and lust for life and in the moment-ness.
As for the OTHER part of the Peter Pan complex, I think Lee needs to realize that taking care of responsibilities doesn't turn you into Captain Hook and set the croc after you.
But no, I wouldn't change it in him regardless. There is always a dark side to anything of light, and the trick is to learn to manage it. He needs the challenge of the negative half of the Peter Pan Complex as much as we all need the light half we see in him.

The problem with someone not growing up, is that it forces someone around them to be twice as grown up to take care fo them.
I'm fine with him not growing up fully, if you ladies are willing to come take up the slack for anything he babies out on. :)

Gotta love him. As is. :-)
