20 Years Down.....and I'm Confused

[heartbreak2]

Funny thing the being taken for granted.

were we taken for granted during the time they were with us
and we just got use to it and became complacent?

If we don't want to be taken for granted, which was a problem I had in my M, then what do we do to change it?

well maybe this is where the 180's do fit in?

if we usually do a certain thing never expecting a thank you then well.... maybe we should stop or change how we do it.

For me that is hard for I don't see him and don't ever ask him to do anything at the house.

So maybe we need to look at us and do others take us for granted too?? Like our kids and immediate family.
My kids do for the laundry fairy comes and does the laundry for them. But she has slacked off and leaves it for them to pick up and put back in their rooms. The dishwasher fairy has quit emptying the dishwasher !

I do have to say that the few months that H was eating here a few times a wk. he would say thank you for dinner... gosh that was new and was nice. Wondered if he was just so happy to have someone cook for him he really was appreciative.

If we do with out for a while then we appreciate the little things more ??

this one can keep us thinking all night
