limits to respect for parents…
Hmmmmm, I guess it depends if you are the child or the parent.
My parents need me to initiate all calls and visits, I discovered that the phone really does work both ways for most people but sadly not for my parents.
I do try to extend to my parents every bit of respect that I possibly can, most of the time they let me know how I have fallen short.
YES! THERE ARE INDEED LIMITS!!!
When my parents begin to inform me of how often their friends get calls and visits from their children/grandchildren I know what comes next and I do interrupt and end the conversation right away. It doesn’t even matter how often I call or visit it doesn’t ever seem to be enough. The calls and visits are becomming even less frequent.
