[QUOTE="Fran, post: 43864, member: 3"] [img]:rofl:[/img] I love the gifts from the cat. SRL, sorry to hear you still ended up doing veggies. easy child had the poor manners to come in from out of town with husband and not say much. He came by and gave me the quick little peck on the cheek and a very lackadaisical HMD. I asked that the "kids"(23,18 & 17) clean the kitchen in a way that would make me happy. Needless to say Monday AM, I am cleaning the kitchen. easy child got an earful about honoring those that love you and giving back. I appreciate that demanding the respect sort of dulls the finish of the sentiment but I really want my kids to see that everything isn't about them. There are birthdays and graduations and I posed the question of "what would you do?" if I gave him the attention that he gave me or his dad? It's unfortunate that husband is not stepping up to set the example for his children. I guess I figure it's a life lesson type thing. It's not really about me or the card or anything so silly. It's about being part of the household with giving and caring and not just the child. easy child went to school with not much of a smile but he bounced back and has really done a lovely job of trying. Foster daughter wrote a beautiful note. She also was reminded of giving. I walk a more delicate line with her than my easy child. difficult child cleaned his car at my request as my gift. [img]:bravo:[/img] They are good kids in general but they aren't quite done cooking. A little reality check from time to time is still needed. [/QUOTE]
