[QUOTE="Fran, post: 353838, member: 3"] I tend to believe that holidays are "free" zones. Depending on the age, there should be a correlation between their effort and our effort. At 18 or so we realized he had not one iota of thought for our birthdays, M-day, F-day but he planned his birthday for months. We told him we would return what effort he put in back at him for his special day. He had some skimpy birthdays and easters. As an adult, difficult child is really in to getting the right gift for us. I have to remind him that he is unemployed. He tends to give openly partly because money has no value. LOL. He is thinking, being somewhat thoughtful and planning. He seems to appreciate that he is remembered. There probably isn't a one answer for all of us. Our kids are so unique from their general personality, to their disabilities and their potential. [/QUOTE]
