[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 694764, member: 1550"] ADad, I disagree maybe because I am a woman. I love my kids whether they have something to offer me or not and I want them to love me the same way...frim the heart. This is not overrated to me. And I have little to give them materally so I know they love me just because they love ME. It would break my heart if I were rich and they came around, giving into my demanding behavior, because of the monetary perks and life in a beautiful house. I am not saying ANYONE on this forum has children who only seem to "love" them for the money and housing and cars and vacations they are offered. But I think a lot of adult kids are nice to their parents only if something is in it for them, and that is not the kind of relationship I want to have with anybidy, including my beloved children. Dont be nice to me just because I give you things or I dont want your niceness. Not to say I dont shower my grandchild with grammy love, which includes, toys, or give my kids $100 sometimes when I have it. But they know there isn't much money here,,,certainly not life sustaining money for them...and I hear from all four of them all the time anyways. Maybe it's the women in me, but I cherish their love. My ex has the money, yet they come to me to pour out their hearts and for emotional support snd for sharing the good. And to visit without my asking. "Dad doesnt get it." "I cant talk to him. He is impossible to talk to." Of course they are nice to him. He helps with money. But they come to me when they need somebody to listen or to hug them. I will take that and hold it near to my heart. Nothing warms me more than to hear, "Thanks, Mom. You made me feel a lot better." Mommy feelings, I guess. Men and woman think differently very often, I have always felt. [/QUOTE]
