[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 271292, member: 84"] ((Witz)) I have the same problem in reverse. easy child tends to go overboard and gets to lavish with her presents and celebrations of Mother's day and the like. I don't do lavish well, nor expensive. I'm a simple person with simple tastes. She's improving......or this year is so tight for cash she had to become more creative. Not sure which. But I'd often feel ungrateful because each time she did it I'd think to myself "How could my own kid not realize that I don't go for this sort of thing?" Sort of makes you feel like you missed a connection somewhere. And to be honest, when she goes lavish it makes me very uncomfortable and pretty much ruins the whole thing for me. (see I said it makes me sound ungrateful) I know her heart is in the right place. But it makes you wonder how your kid can spend their whole life with you, yet not appear to [B]know[/B] you at all.:knockedout: Witz, they did think of you......and I guess that is something. But they don't sound very grateful. Sort of a haphazard way of going about it all with you left not even knowing if any of the plans are even definate. I doubt I'd want to bother either. (((hugs))) [/QUOTE]
