[QUOTE="Star*, post: 76835, member: 4964"] Wynter, A few years ago I read a book that I thought was a total waste of my time upon taking a friends suggestion. It is called What is your LOVE Language? I learned so much from reading that book and put it into play with my difficult child. Bottom line is we don't all percieve love as the same act. Some (like me) think of love as acts of service. What you bought me, or said to me or gave me isn't nearly as important to me as take out the trash, wash my car, help me without being asked. My son's perception wasn't the same so as I'm helping him do laundry and cleaning and the like he's interpereting it as "interfering" and I'm trying to say "I love you" by helping. His love language is "Words of affirmation" the big stroke, the fuss over his latest accomplishment. He could care LESS if I cleaned his room. It's a really neat book and it helped me verbalize to my son that if you want to tell me you love me, show me. Do this, do that. And it honestly helped because then there were NO MORE excuses and he knew that taking out the trash helped me and helping in my brain = love. There are the rare few that buying is their love language, but I haven't met one yet. Its a small paperback and a quick read. Maybe you two just aren't speaking the same language? (No she's not Chineese~ silly rabbit) Hugs Star [/QUOTE]
