At what point do we say enough is enough when our children dont respect us. Do we have the right to respect from our kids or do we have to earn it? We feen them, clothe then love them, drive them places, pit up with their whining, give them money, listen to them, advise them, talk to them, encourage them, stick up for them, and many other things, but what if its not enough? What if what ever we do they just dont give anything, eben a decent conversation. Feeling very sad at the moment, and cant see it getting any better. All i would like is some respect, some kindness and a positive relation ship with my grown up kids, instead of criticism. Going to work tonight sad and very empty.
