One of my sisters called after reading this to remind me how I was "bad" as a teenager and used to do things on purpose to see what would happen... Never things really bad, just naughty. Don't most children do that? I think this sister never did...Miss Beahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09200927748751281671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-844192954294069518.post-8443696628617415112012-02-05T10:06:53.288-08:002012-02-05T10:06:53.288-08:00Thank you for writing.

Often they didn't respond like you expected. Sometimes they were cranky and seemed unappreciative. Young children and the elderly live best with established routines. Since you live miles away and have lived miles away for most of your adult life, you are not part of your mom's routine. It's not that she loves you less; she is just more comfortable and secure with her normal. And, yes, you are right to go visit her more often. You just won't get the reaction you expect.lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05541936843685121153noreply@blogger.com
