[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 714852, member: 1550"] Hon...we know its hard to change. We get it. But we want/expect our adult kids to change for the better. If we expect it of them, we must hold ourselves to the same standard. Buying your grown kids tons of stuff so that they dont have to work hard or feel pain is loving.. but is it good for them? It does not foster respect toward themselves or you. Clearly they think of you as Santa Claus and will may get mean and abusive if you decide you are finished doing this. You have to get on a tough shield and stand your ground, which is why I suggest therapy for support. It is too hard to do this alone in my opinion. Wishing you the serenity to accept everything you can not change (like your daughters words and behavior), the courage to change the things you can (you CAN change yourself), and the wisdom to know the different.
