[QUOTE="MyFriendKita, post: 141804, member: 4888"] My mother never has anything nice to say to any of us "kids," so maybe I'm more sensitive to negativity than I would be otherwise. I try not to say anything at all if my comment is going to be critical. I don't think there's any such thing as constructive criticism. My mother's comments don't ever inspire any of us to change our behavior; it just makes us angry with her. I do thank both my difficult child and my husband when they do chores. Yes, they should be doing them anyway, and yes, I do way more than they do, but I still think it's nice for them to hear a "thank you." [/QUOTE]
