we're the same Pam...we're the ones who give all the time.. and except for Christmas when my daughter will buy us something small... we don't get anything from anyone, but like you it just never occurs to us to expect anything from anyone...It just dawned on me; we don't get much from anyone. I guess we were born to be the givers. I am in tears because I had not realized and/or thought about this til now. I will bug one niece about needing a new TV. lol
We can buy one, I'm just sad that no one gives us anything. One sister and her two daughters are the only ones who will think of us. Sometimes. I hope we will be remembered for all that we did when we are gone.
It's not that I want anything; I've never been one to ask. Reality just sunk in.... finally.
My son came over one day and was talking about how him and his SO had donuts. Why didn’t you bring us some? Oh, he says, I’ll bring some next time I come. Yup, not holding my breath and he hasn’t brought any either.Trust me...this is the first time anyone (except sis) has ever bought me anything! I've given to these kids when they were younger and I had $$$.
It's not like it happens all the time, especially for me....
I understand.
I am not disheartened. If I asked either of them to do something or get something they would, it’s just that I have to ask. No surprises from them. But sons SO is Chinese and they take care of their older folks .I'm sorry to read about some here whose friends, children and family members take, take, take and never give.
Our children are generous with their time, helpfulness with projects around the house, and small thoughtful gifts (saw this and knew you'd like it), and we are the same with them. My mom and in-laws were like that, too. Ditto other family members and friends.
It must be very disheartening to deal with such unequal adult relationships.
I love it!Picked this basket up from a boutique in Montezuma GA this week. Works great for a few items at the grocery and avoids (at least a few) plastic bags

we still get single use bags...in essence.. I say this because now they call them a 'bag for life''.. the price range from anywhere between 10p to £1.. some are plastic others are a type of woven paper..Very pretty bag!
Here in CT we can no longer get single use plastic bags and can't buy them either at the grocery store.
Sounds like my stepson. He has yet to buy my husband a 50 cents greeting card for his birthday, Father's Day, etc. Ohhhh, that makes my butt burn. lolMy son came over one day and was talking about how him and his SO had donuts.

..and if you're anything like me you would have still been in and out in less than 10 minutesRan in the store for just milk, came out with milk, licorice allsorts, and they had a reduced sale on plants so I got bargain mandavilla vine and some ivy.
I just looked this up. Seems like it's a frother on crack.I bought a Nespresso Barista Recipe Maker to make my iced coffee treats. I had been wanting one for a while but they had been out of stock at Nespresso (computer chip shortage) but I had been checking daily and as soon as I saw they were available I ordered the darn thing. I've enjoyed trying different things like iced Macchiattos, iced caramel Macchiattos, and iced Frappes.
They're going in my raised garden areas in the back.What's your plan for them, @MickaC?e with th
