[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 564855, member: 14557"] I agree. And I don't believe it is so much about begin self centred than it is about not understanding how much parents love their kids. I think kids in general really don't get how much they are loved and difficult children even less so. I remember when my difficult child was younger, maybe 13 and he fell badly with his bike. There was lot of blood, some deeper cuts and quite a lot of scrapes and later huge bruises. Luckily nothing serious, but I was horrid when he first came home in that state. He was quick to console me that his bike was okay, and while his sweatpants had a hole they were old and it wasn't the first one and his t-shirt would wash clean if we would just put it to cold water immediately. That has really stick in my mind, they really don't get it. Not even PCs even little bit older. Our kids get driver's licenses at 18, so difficult child got his little over a year ago. He had only had it few days when he first time borrowed my car and took easy child with him to somewhere. I told him to drive safely because there was such a valuable load in the car. easy child asked me, all serious, if I hadn't remembered to take a new television I had bought day before for our upstairs lobby out of the trunk. Yeah, that certainly was what I meant... And of course teens 'know' they are immortal and so it doesn't make any sense to them that we would worry over them. [/QUOTE]
