[quote=Anonymous]Stop kicking yourself Mom. You wanted to do what was best and to make DH feel loved and wanted. But there may be a root issue here.
 
I know for my family, we each have a tendency to focus on self (it is human nature, I understand). Sometimes we forget that others have feelings also. So we try to promote family unity, a team effort and an understanding that the others in our family are people, who have feelings and desires just like ours. Birthdays are just a good chance to do something that makes someone else feel loved and cared about.
 
We read books, which help a lot, and look at how other people care for others. We do service projects both in our home and outside our home. We are humans and our selfishness grows quickly if it is not kept in check. I know for us we started at a very early age teaching our children to serve, love and care for each member of our family. Helping one another around the home helps a lot to foster an unselfish attitude and so does outside the home projects.
 
Focus on the Family is an organization that helps families to thrive. They have many good resources for helping to generate an unselfish and respectful attitude in children and adults (sometimes this is needed also). I don't have a favorite but I suggest you go there and browse. You are a good Mom and just like the rest of us sometimes we get a wakeup call and have to regroup. I am praying for you as your regroup and maybe do some "catch up" in your family life. You go Mom!!!!!!!![/quote]
