How many of your kids really care about you.?

Answer 1

ALL three!...:-)

The one hard lesson I learned over the years is that folk love in the best ways they know how...so each of my children love me and care for me in their own special ways.

My eldest is the caretaker...always calls; always come through in emergencies; shares her life and her kids with me.

My youngest daughter is my confidant - keeps me laughing, always but always makes me feel good - she works two jobs so I don't see her as often and a phone person she is not!

My baby - my son hates telephone chit chat but face to face will talk your head off!..He has a phobia about me getting older and one day being not here - but this young man would kill for me!

Hey, not complaining. They're great offspring and good people.

I try hard NOT to look to them to satisfy my need for human companionship - something some of us start to do as we age. They have too busy lives what with kids; jobs; house notes; friends, inlaws and the like...and I do remember my own years of being like that and often putting my parents on the back burner...not out of not caring, just not thinking.

I know, without a doubt that when and if the time comes, they'll all be there for me :-)

Merry Christmas ALL!

Answer 2

One son lives way across the country. He does everything that he possibly can. He will call to check up on me, visit when he can, and take me out to a movie or to eat at a restaurant.
He took me to San Diego for my birthday.
The other one lives closer to me but I occaisionally here from him. he is working late and has a lot of responsibility with a wife and daughter. I get to see them maybe 3-4 times a year.
so I do not get to see my grandaughter that much. Their life is more revolved around her side of the family, as they live in the same town. It irks me that they get more time with my son and grandaughter than I do. I have to travel about 1 hour and 15 minutes to see them, and it seems that they have other errands they would rather be doing or places to go. I realize that they only have so many days off work to get things done and errands need to be done. But if I am going to take the time to go up to visit them, that I should get the attention that the rest of her side of the family gets as they are up there and available all the time, less than 10 minutes away. My grandchilds birthday, maybe Thanksgiving and maybe Christmas and one or two days during the rest of the year are it. I do not say anything. I just wish he would call maybe once a week and say Hi Mom. And when I do see them I really do not get to sit down and just have Mom and son serious talk, as the rest of the family is around. I have to hear bits and pieces of what is going on with him from my other son.

Answer 3

Hopefully both of them.
They have been raised to be caring adults.
But what they do in the future is up to them.
They have been shown and know how to care because they helped me take care of my mom (their grandma) when she had a stroke 10 years ago and I needed them to help me.
My oldest one was 14 at the time and would go there after school if I needed her to and help grandma. Then the other girl would go when she got old enough. Eventually I paid them because I was so glad to have the time off and it was cheaper than getting home health all the time.
You have to show kids how to be caring by setting an example.

Answer 4

I have two sons and two daughters and they all love me so much. I never, ever doubt that. My son 36, lives in Ohio with his family calls me at least five times a week here in Texas and visits twice a year. My son, 44, lives in Indiana with his family. He calls me maybe every six mo's and visits seldom but there is never a doubt in my or my other kids minds of how much he loves us. We have a Family Site and all of the fam keeps in touch on there too. He is just that way. My daughter, 48, lives 15 min's from me with her husband and I see her three times a wk or more and we talk every day. My other daughter, 47, lives an hr away with her husband and she calls me usually twice a day. I dare not say to them that I need or wish I had....anything, cause they'll get it. My daughter that's a nurse, is here anytime I need her, like she stayed here two wks after my knee surgery. I have 13 loving grands too. I can't say enough. They are my heart, my life.

Answer 5

I have 2 sons and 1 daughter. I always refer to the old saying I heard many years ago. A DAUGHTER IS A DAUGHTER FOR ALL OF HER LIFE - A SON IS A SON TIL HE TAKES A WIFE. My daughter wants to be with her mother and the boys wives want to be with their mother therefore I see them less. I am sure they care about me just don't come around much.

Answer 6

3 out of 5. If I had known I would only end up with 2 I would have had more!! LOL. Their dad and drugs turned 2 against me. the two daughters that live by me are so attentive and loving that it makes up for the missing 2. Almost. I talk to or see my daughters every day. I also call or see my mom almost everyday.

Answer 7

I was consistently devoted to the role that I played, being the best mother and wife that I could be, to the best of my ability.

I was blessed with the good fortune to find a mate, that also devoted his life to his family.

I adore my family, including my husband.

My children and grand children adore my husband and me in turn.

I am the rock that holds it all together.

They all call me for advise and they all call me to tell me of their achievements.

None of us are perfect by any means but we are all a very close knit family.

I feel great remorse for those who, for reasons beyond their control, don't have what I have.

Answer 8

I have two daughters, one 31 and the other 29. I think they
both love me. They are busy with their own lives, but they both call me a lot and when we are together, we have wonderful times. Fortunately, we'll all be together for Christmas.

Answer 9

My son doesn't come around much, but, that's just the way he is. When I'm around him I can feel his love though and that's all that's important to me. On the other hand my daughter acts just like me so it doesn't take much for us to lock horns!!LOL!! Right now she's trying to teach me some kinda lesson and isn't coming around!! Which sometimes can be a relief!!

Answer 10

I do believe both of my kids genuinely care about me, but only one stays in close touch.
