I've read in a few places, too, that the father rushing out to meet the son coming home was likely unbecoming of the head of household. It was seen as undignified, especially since it wasn't seen as an emergency that would require quick action. Don't know if that's true or not, but it shows how much the son was valued.
I also read, I think from you, that asking for the actual inheritance early, before the head of house was dead or incapacitated, was something of a snub to the father...akin to saying "I'm through with all of this."
