Really depressed today. I am a single mom. I work 12 hours a day, 5 days a week. Son didnt ask for very much for Christmas, and i did get him what he asked for. X gave him $ thru the mail, and a lot of it too.I work in education. Some of the kids Im involved with gave me some nice little gifts like gift cards and cookies, so I will have something to open tomorrow.But my son has gotten me nothing. He's 16. Today I asked him 3 times if he needed or wanted to go to the mall to buy something for anyone. All three times he said no.Tomorrow, I really feel like saying to him, "it makes me feel sad that other people who are near strangers can be thoughtful enough to remember me at Christmas, but, somehow my own son can't. "I don't think I'll do it, but, I'm saying something after the holiday....I guess he needs a lesson in reciprocation.Any of you have this, or had it? via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2ie8BgP
