[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 690170, member: 1550"] MommyK, you sound like me...wow. My autistic son has an attitude of gratitude like your daughter and works hard and does well. I always instilled a strong work ethic and like you I see it paying off in all my kids. So kudos to you as well. I actually think it is emotionally easier for us to give our kids toys for free than to make them work to earn them. I had to hear "but her mom just bought her a car and she doesn't have to work!" It is hard, but it produces a stronger kid in my opinion. I also feel it is mandatory to be able to tell your child,"I was wrong." It fosters trust. As for your husband, he will be the big loser if he doesn't get his act together. You sound like a great lady! [/QUOTE]
