Guest guest Posted July 1, 2004 Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 Tawny, I'm so sorry, it sounds like you don't get much physical or emotional support at home. Ron tries, but even after nearly 30 years, his needs still come first. (There's a long story attached to something that happened as recently as today, but I won't go into it now.) I think women make the biggest mistake by doing too much for their sons when they are at home, from the time they are little boys until they get married and leave home. I keep telling (and she is very well attuned to this) to make sure her 3 boys learn to do things for themselves and help their mother and sister when they are still young. Even now, TJ will hold the door for people at church, he's not too little for that. Our little boys just never grow up, do they?

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2004 Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 You are so right Judi, we all have a tough time at some point. Wow, you have been married a long time, that is amazing. It's very hard sometimes, but we just go on, hugs Tawny > Tawny, > > I'm so sorry, it sounds like you don't get much physical or emotional > support at home.

Guest guest Posted July 4, 2004 Report Share Posted July 4, 2004 The opposite dynamic with my parents- dad does everything for my mom. But then he was the oldest son in a large and poor family so he learned early to pitch in and help or everyone suffered.--- nonny46 <nonny46@...> wrote: > Tawny, > > I'm so sorry, it sounds like you don't get much > physical or emotional > support at home.
