[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The best parenting advice I ever got was "you get what you put in". So I hope eventually I get back the love, affection and care that I have put in. I think a lot of people are rightfully bitter towards their parents because their parents didn't put that much in when they were growing up and now expect a lot in return. [/quote] I think that this advice might set you up for disappointment. It would be wonderful if you get back what you put in, but I think that is often not the way. (I don't think you are saying this, but a hypothetical might be a parent thinking that they took care of their kids when their kids needed it, so kids should take care of their parents when parents need it; while the kid may feel it's each person's responsibility to take care of themselves so not want to be responsible for their parents). It is also the case that kids may not perceive what you put in the same way that you perceive it. [/quote]
