Hey mommies! Ever felt unappreciated? Taken for granted? Or just feel u're not getting as much as u deserve from ur grown-up kids?
Then tell us...what is it ur children are NOT giving you,that u really,really wish they would? And how would u like them to give it to u?

I think the key to this is don't expect anything form your kids, they don't owe you anything. as a mother it is your job to be there for your kids. yes we all feel unappreciated at times and a bunch of flowers or something would be nice and in the case of my teenage sons a thank you once in a while instead of a grunt would be nice LOL.My children have bought me great happiness and at times worry and heartache but kids learn all the time and as a Mother they have taught me that i am never to old to learn also. been Mum I think is a constant learning kerb.But that's why mothers day was invented, that's the day when normally kids or grown up kids come into their own

Grown up kids? Well, first of all, no matter what you want, you probably are not going to get it, if you haven't already. Some of my kids live in another state, so I hear from them every now and then. They love me, but they are caught up in their own life. One has 7 kids, 5 are grown, and from three different marriages, so lots of different kinds of problems. All you can do is to be there for them, when they want you. Oh, sure, I would love to all live together as an Indian Village and see each other , and the grandmother was the "wise one", and respected, and all the grandchildren will come to her tent ,help her and love her, etc. Then we could all have a pow wow, and the chief would make decisions and all would abide. Then we could all get drunk on the peace pipe ,dance around the fire at night, and all have a happy and good time. That would be good, and of course, if the daughter-in-laws got out of line, then the big Chief would tell them off, and they would obey and tell you they were sorry. That would be pretty good. Now, we all know that is not going to happen, so I just stay put, and let them come to me. Don't advise anything, or you will get it, and that is about it. Good luck.

This journey is so incomprehensible to me by way of fact I function below the delusional assumption that if a parent has created and given start to a distinctive person by way of fact of unconditional love, that person would be unconditionally loving in direction of that new being. For if the very ones who've sworn their timeless like to one yet another and to their babies do no longer understand those babies, what else is a toddler to do different than end that they are below rubbish and do something to sense love from somebody or something, no rely what the source. that is going to constantly stupefy me to be responsive to that maximum mum and dad will call for understand from their babies yet on no account understand them first to coach from occasion. and it will constantly destroy my coronary heart. i won't condemn your mom; that is no longer mine to choose. I purely wish that she would desire to appreciate this theory. it would spare everybody heartache. As for you, you be responsive to how i think.
