[QUOTE="BusynMember1, post: 750974, member: 23706"] I did everything for all my kids yet only Kay is helpless. I am really surprised they all aren't. My younger two were independent at young ages and initiated things such as doing their own laundry and learning to cook and doing homework without any help or pushing. When I, say, cleaned their rooms both would say not to, that they liked to do their rooms their own ways. My son got a job young doing flyers on a bike and my daughter babysat at age 12. They always had enough money and we never asked them to work. My husband and I are ambitious and were a lot like they are. Can restlessness and being hardworking be inherited? These days I am so jaded that I am almost starting to think like Kay, that she can't do it because her birthmother was probably lazy. Help! She is starting to make me as "off" as she is. Kay has actually said that...its not her fault she doesn't like to work because her birthparents were probably lazy. I wish her friend had never called me. i have been my old wreck of a self since. I am sorry if I hijacked your thread. Yes, focus on yourself. Wise is so right. I need to get back to that too. Please be good to yourself. [/QUOTE]
