[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 709568, member: 1550"] When difficult kids ate doing bad things, it seems they blame us because they refuse to take the blame. So that is one disconnect. They know we dont approve of their behavior and it creates a wedge. Our easy kids know when we are proud of how they are turning out too and that often forms a bond. Its not fair since we often do more and spend more time trying to help our difficult adults, but usually our more typical kids also are more loving and empathetic and more grateful for our effort at doing well by them. I sometimes get a Mothers Day text from Bart. Often he forgets. The other three are very gracious on Mothers Day. Im so used to it, it doesnt even bother me. Difficult adults are men and women who tend to think they are all who matter. Better not skip THEIR birthdays! They will ask what they are getting!! But often they dont make an effort even to buy us a loving card. I have cards with extra writing in them frim Jumper, in particular, that I will never throw away. I have zilch cards ever from Bart. They are not the same in their thinking as most adults and do not seem to care if they hurt us, if they even bother to think about us. Their lack of empathy and me-ness is partly why they get inro so much trouble. Its really a loss for them. Bit it can hurt us a lot. [/QUOTE]
