[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 280738, member: 3907"] RD, I think you need to do more than just contemplate the possibility of this, I think you need to DO it. If you're always the one to schlepp the kids around, run the errands, buy them stuff, and no one is showing any appreciation, then just stop. Think of it as going on strike if it helps, but just stop. Do things for yourself. If you feel like doing something for someone else, do it because it's convenient for YOU, or because YOU want to do it, not because someone else is putting pressure on you or because you feel guilted into doing it. You'd be surprised at what a difference it makes. To your own attitude and disposition. And to the way others treat you. It's amazing. When you start showing that you respect yourself, others seem to start doing so as well, or at least recognize that you can't be pushed around so easily. When pushing you around becomes more hard work than doing for themselves, guess what's likely to happen? Take some time for you. Pamper and be gentle with yourself. Sending hugs, Trinity [/QUOTE]
