[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is a mix of annoying and hurtful that my 20 something daughter can’t even take a minute to send me a text acknowledging Easter (let alone an actual phone call). She knows I am alone. [b]When I think of the hours and days I spent making every holiday happy and memorable throughout her childhood, I am so disappointed. [/b] (And before you ask, I mailed her a card last week,after she declined more traditional gestures.)[/quote] I’m sorry you’re hurt, OP. But, ugh, I read the bolded and just feel crushed by the weight of your martyrdom on behalf of your daughter. Note to all parents of young children: do these things if you enjoy them, not in expectation of some sort of payback. [/quote] Spoken like a true American. Your family clearly has been here many, many decades for you to be so disrespectful. There is nothing wrong with having an expectation that your child would offer you a text on a holiday. If Ts not like she asked for dinner or a card. Give me a break.[/quote] Whatever, I called my mom to say Happy Easter this morning. But it’s petty for OP to sit around waiting for a text. If she wants to communicate with her daughter, she should text or call her herself. [/quote] What motivated you to make that call? [/quote]
