[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mom and dad, I feel for you, it's soooo hard! [b]We want them to be happy 100% of the time.[/b] One thing to keep in mind: emotionally, you are probably bearing more of this burden than your child is. I recall reading somewhere that when kids call to dump on parents, they are dropping their emotional load onto you and then moving on...and we are left to fester and worry. So in other words, it likely sounds worse than it is. [/quote] Please think about how ridiculous this statement (bolded) sounds. You want your child to be "happy" 100% of the time? Not only is that impossible, but it's an unhelpful expectation of them, unless you plan to drug them into a stupor. I hope my kids are resilient, kind, hard-working, focused, humble, helpful and any number of things other than "happy 100% of the time."[/quote]
