My daughter (38) works for an eye doctor....a kid came in with her mother for glasses. The kid precedes to stand on top of the counter and kick things to the floor...mother tells kid to get down, kid tells the mother to shut up and mind her own business...later the DR. asked Jodi what I would have done if she had acted like that..Jodi said.."I would not be here talking to you".."I no doubt would have lost the ability to speak"..LOL
No parent gets respect unless given and demanded back...I always want my daughters to love me, but if not, they will respect me or not be a part of my life. Why have a child break your heart with such comments...I would perfer to not talk to them until they cleaned up their act...we allow the people in our life to treat us the way they do.. |
