[quote=Anonymous]My college-aged children do express appreciation for specific acts/things we provide, both regularly (cooking dinner) and for specific things (such as paying for pricey college, taking time off to drive them to far-away summer internship, etc.) I don't think many people have the perspective to be thankful for the entire parenting experience until they are going through it themselves. I do suspect that my kids appreciate the upbringing they had when they compare it to friends/neighbors (ugly divorces, lack of support for LGBT kid, controlling parents, abuse) but they have not expressed it that way to us, which I am okay with. Seeing my kids as happy, healthy, independent people is thanks enough for me. [/quote]
