Re: Songs Sent/Ricky Skaggs/Thanks Again

It's sick, isn't it? Our BPs go on and on about how we can never repay

them for the sacrifices they made in raising us...yet they keep

presenting us with a bill anyway. You'd think these people were born

accountants. Of course if I attempted to repay my fada in kind, I'd

probably end up reported for elder abuse.

Cheers,

It's the same with my mother! I remember when I was a highschool

senior i was expressing to a close friend how much I resented the fact

that my mother had so much on me- she'd changed my diapers etc. etc.

and fed me and that I wish she didn't have that kind of power over me,

that I didn't have that kind of debt. My friend finally interjected

and, looking very disturbed, stated something along the lines of

" SHe's your mother. That's what she was supposed to do. " It was the

first time i realized that perhaps not everybody got the " I do

everything for you and you do nothing and hate me " speech that was a

common occurrence (and still is) in my household. Ay!

If it helps, my partner and her brother say that their parents never once said

anything like " you owe me for... " . A couple friends both agreed that this kind

of behavior was unthinkable in their houses as well. (After someone mentioned it

on this board I did an inpromptu survey, I thought that was normal)

So that's something she never hsould have tried to guilt you with. You don't owe

a thing.

You know, it's not OUR fault they reproduced.
