[quote=Anonymous] This seems so minor, unless you set great store by gestures that ultimately have little meaning. More importantly, are your children generally kind and empathetic, particularly when they notice someone in distress? That's what really matters. I'd rather have family members who are caring most days than relatives who only go through the motions on my birthday. I've never forced the kids to make cards or think of gifts for family. My daughter makes the most wonderful cards, my son scrambles to add his name to hers at the last minute. They don't buy us gifts. Yet my 11 year old son called 911 when he came home from school one day and found me collapsed on the floor, and followed instructions from the operator to count my pulse and check vital signs. He also got his little sister and himself to the neighbor's, *and did his homework there*, when I was ambulanced to the hospital. That's a tad bit more important. [/quote]
