[QUOTE="KFld, post: 42674, member: 2442"] That is a good attitude. Have no expectations, then if anyone happens to do anything, you can be pleasantly surprised!! My difficult child is coming down when he gets out of work. I already know he won't have anything for me. I would be floored if he did. He was here a few days ago and said something like, maybe I'll be able to buy you something, then he remembered he already spent his entire paycheck and won't get paid until 3 days after mothers day. Oh well. I told him his progress is my mothers day gift. My easy child daughter is freaking out because against my trying to get her to see a few months ago that she really wasn't old enough at 17 to handle direct deposit and a debit card, once again she overdrafted her account and when her direct deposit went in this morning they took out all the fees and left her with $10.00 for the next two weeks, when she gets paid again. YIKES!!! She was in tears last night because now she can't get me a mothers day gift (or her boyfriend a 6 months anniversary gift, oh brother). I told her don't cry over money! She'll lose more then $200.00 in a lifetime [img]:smile:[/img] She cancelled her direct deposit this past week, which won't go into effect until the next pay period and I told her it's a life lesson learned, try it again when you get older. I then told her I would give her gas money for the next 2 weeks to get to school and work. I know she'll learn from this lesson and believe me, I've helped difficult child through much worse financial situations. We are planning on going to the Elks mothers Day brunch. My husband and I are both Elks and easy child daughter will come. difficult child doesn't get out of work until 6:00, so that will be my day. [/QUOTE]
