[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]or are otherwise messes or just not great/attentive kids?

I attended a memorial celebration for an old colleague yesterday. Her two adult children pulled off a truly amazing celebration that was personal, classy, both of them spoke articulately and glowingly of their mother, they were so polite and made a point to speak to everyone there, and it was just so impressive. They put together an enormous slideshow of their mother with dozens of personal photos scored to a soundtrack. It was truly amazing. Both of them also have very nice well-mannered young children.

Another close friend was very ill last year and she is a wonderful person but her kids never came around at all. I know it made her feel lonely and she remarked to me, [b]"I bet they won't even know how to bury me" [/b]or some such. I always thought this friend was a good mom but maybe not?? I met her later in life when her children were grown.

It just made me wonder what the determinant is here. Is it how you were raised? Luck?[/quote]

See she told you and you didn’t pay attention

She didn’t say I hope I can do all I can to stay close to them in the coming years or something like that but instead made a woe is me my children suck

She guilt trips her kids, she makes things all about her, and her kids have had enough [/quote]

This! Good call PP.[/quote]
