[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does your AC child express appreciation for your parenting? I don't expect constant praise of course. It was a labor of love, but I guess I hoped that by her age (recent college grad) she would start to appreciate the family she has. The sacrifices that have been made. The quality of life we have given her. She just seems to take it all for granted, which is a little disappointing. [/quote] Is it, though? I see it as a mark of success that my kids believe that every family is normal, emotionally calm and loving. Why would I want them to know the hell I went through to give it to them? The whole point was to shield them from that hard stuff. (And if you did shield them from it, it isn’t their fault that they didn’t know about it.)[/quote] Interesting perspective. I just think that people walk around the world happier if they feel grateful for their good fortune. [/quote]
