[QUOTE="LoveSushi, post: 662692, member: 17587"] Disclaimer: This is just my opinion. And it seriously is how I (try) to give, in every single instance and to every single person. Give with [B]no expectation of return [/B]on your "gift". If you expect something in return, then just don't give it, whether it's money, your time, your [I]whatever[/I]. Otherwise, you'll more likely than not just feel cheated. Too, I understand how some grown adults may feel resentful towards their parents, because the parents have a way of making their grown children feel like they "owe" them. They may pull away from the parents because any kindness or generosity seems to come with a "now you owe us" attitude. My kids owe me nothing, and I hope I never make them feel like they do. I chose to have them, and not so I'd have someone to take care of me in my old age. Maybe it's just my own experiences. [/QUOTE]
