[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The replies of ...show them by stopping doing the things for them that will show them!!...all that does is teach them this is an unsafe topic that will be met with hostility.  They won't bring it up again but their opinion probably won't change.  Their friends all have the same things done for them mostly with parents who both work. It doesn't answer their question what do you do all day while they're at school and why don't you have a job.  Tell them what you do all day (I do a lot of things for our family that some families outsource could be an answer...I volunteer could be an answer...and guess what an answer could be I go to the gym every day which I really value...it's fine!) Explain why for your family this makes sense and why you don't have a job.   I'm sure there are real and good reasons.[/quote]

I'm the PP whose mom stopped doing stuff for a week so my brother and I saw what she did.  It wasn't done with a hostile intent nor did it make us feel like we couldn't bring things up.   But after telling us what she did, she wanted to show us too.  It's not like we were neglected for a week.  But it was eye opening all the little things she did that we never really noticed.   I definitely think it could be done maliciously, but my mom managed not to do it that way.  Or maybe it's because I'm a hands on type person so the physical proof of things makes a point more than talking.  [/quote]
