| Thanks! I just wanted to say thanks for all the support from other moms and the explanation from the younger crowd. It made me feel alot better to know that it isn't just me that's going through this. I'm sure I did the same thing with my parents, but I was the youngest of 5, so they were used to it by then I guess. This is my first experience with this behavior and we have always been close so I guess I kind of freaked out. I'm sorry it took me so long to read your posts, I haven't been able to get on and chat for a while....Mom's work is never done!

| My 14 (15 April ) is going to Rome next week. Well for her to go we had to raise 3000.00 for her to go. Well with no help from her (father) we got all the money for her to go. She had to get a passport and to get one she had to have her dad sign. She only sees him once a year if that. He signs he tells her if it wasnt for him she wouldnt get to go. So now she thinks he is the greatest person ever. I would love to UJGFHJFD that man. LOL I raised my son for 17 years without him at all, no money or anything. Well my son went to go live with his dad and wont talk to me. His dad told him I kept him from them, what a lie. trust me I know how you feel I do all the work and he gets all the fame.

| I too went through this with my kiddos...They are now 22, 24 and 26...I will add to the "It will get better" Moms...I will promise you it does get better. They get out of the "ME ME ME' stage about 23 or so..Then they become that thoughtful person you wanted from them all along and it makes you drop your jaw how sweet and caring they can be.....Its almost like a light bulb that goes off in them and one day they think of you...Hang in there! They obviously know your the one they can count on now and this will always be their thoughts of you...You'll be proud of this later on!!!! Kids are like an investment, they don't pay off in the short term...its the long haul that they come through on!!! Promise from a Mom in Texas!!

Donating YT 11K Club Member | I'm sorry you're feeling unappreciated. I am 21 and I can tell you my mom feels the exact same way! Atleast she reminds me ALL the time! The problem is since I am the one that lives home still she takes what my brother does, out on me. Today she came to my room and said "I already know that im going to die alone since my 2 kids don't love me or care about me" she says things like this just to get me mad, and she doesn't even know but it hurts my feelings really bad. We might not show our appreciation as much, but it is not out of spite, we just don't notice it most of the time. If my mom would ask me things gently, and nicely i guarantee i will do them, instead of yelling them first thing like she does all the time. So im the kid(well not a kid but you know) and i don't know what to do. I try, yesterday i cleaned the whole house, the dishes, everything and i didn't even get a thank you. When i do things she doesn't seem to 'notice' but when i don't she is quick to yell at me about it. My brother is 25 now and already has his own family. My mom babysits his daughter and most of the time he has an attitude, and my mom gets mad but i know he is very stressed cause he is learning the hard way what it is to hold a household and raise a kid, he works all the time, overtime trying to save money. So i tell her don't take it personally he is just stressed. Sometimes things are not understood and i think that is where the problem is. I would say just try to talk to them gently, ask them if they want to do something with you(something they like) and even though they don't show appreciation i bet they do deep inside. I heard someone say when you are with your parents they annoy you and you want to just get away but when you are away you miss them and feel like a part of you is missing and i think that's true. Seeing you makes them feel better and even though they spent that little bit of time with you it is their way of saying thanks. Am i rambling? lol

| Sometimes the best remedy is to TALK, talk it out. Talk about expectancies, wishes, compromises. When that does not work there is the .... I am parent, I pay for the extras, I lay down the law. Amen My daughter is 26 when she was a teen she had a set time to "chat with friends on the phone" the rest was taken up with school, family time, church, etc. Wish you moms Luck, I have to go through all this stuff again with my 9 1/2 yr. old who thinks he is 33, uughh.
