[QUOTE="Weary Mother, post: 698913, member: 20487"] Today I am pondering something that maybe the community out there can respond to. How do you handle this when you do something really nice and even above and beyond for your needy child and get a mediocre response? There are times when I do something for my daughter that if someone had done for me, I would have immediately expressed gratitude and appreciation but her response is "ok". It happened yesterday and after I read the text, as it was sent in a text (Which she and it seems a lot of people her age prefer over actual phone conversations) I was puzzled. And when I read her response "ok", I sent her a text asking her "just ok?". I never got a reply. I am not going to pick a fight over this or ruin my day but since we all deal with some of this stuff I wonder if anyone has handled this well and would share about it. [/QUOTE]
