[quote=Anonymous]I grew up with a messed up mother and she expected to be appreciated for everything. I showered her with praise to survive. Now as a parent myself, I understand how toxic she was and how abusive she was in a lot of ways. Parenting is a selfless labor of love. I am thrilled when my kids express appreciation, but I don't guilt trip them into expressing it. It needs to come from the heart.[/quote]
