I am not trying to come off as rude but instead of asking about this topic on here why don't you just ask your children? I hate how people blame generations as I always say it is as much as you give out. If my children were to ignore me & trust me they do from time to time as they are teenagers. I go to them, I talk to them even if they decide not to talk back. I let them know how it is effecting me & if I can do anything to make our relationship stronger. You cannot blame this generation as WE the parents are who raised this generation!
Amy I have reached out many times to my 38 year old only to be ignored. I was brought up to respect older people and I brought my kids up to do the same. I thank God that I have been told many times how polite my kids are on the outside and they are very smart and productive with kids of their own. I have seen and heard many in my kids generation be so disrespectful to others that I don't know what went wrong in their family lives. All I know is mine for one reason or another could care less about me and I wrack my brain on where I went wrong. BELIEVE I have tried!!
i completly understand what you are going thru, i even went to a therapist trying to figure out what i did wrong but my adult daughter laughed in my face when i asked her to go with me. she told me it wasnt her problem that i did not know what was wrong with ME!! what!! my psychtherapist said there is a generation of adult children that is acting this way.
my adult son who is the oldest. i have no problems with him. hang in there and keep trying,do not give up. the only thing i an do for my ddaughter is keep her children, my grandchildren, whom i love. so at least theres that.
