[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP you are doing an adequate job. You aren’t a particularly good mom, but you are meeting the minimum requirement of parenting and are not abusing or neglecting them I guess. But you aren’t doing the things that will nurture a strong and loving relationship, so just don’t be surprised and bitter when your kids aren’t interested in you when they grow up and move away.  You get back what you put it and what you can expect is a cordial but distant relationship with them when you are older. But yeah, you are adequate. [/quote]

Guess how I know you don’t have kids…[/quote]

You guessed wrong. I have two kids that I adore am am very close with —one in high school and one in college.  And one mother in law who was never much interested in being a mom to my DH after her divorce.  My husband pays duty visits to her about once every three months; she lives six miles away. Now that she is retired and alone she tries to demand his attention and he just does the bare minimum. Not out of spite or bad feelings per se; we just literally  don’t think of her much. [/quote]
