I just need to vent, I am so upset this has nothing to to do with this site I am just so upset. My daughter, who is 8 year old, goes garage saling with me alot, Loves it and always is spendingher money buying everyone else things. This week she found out of a toy that a neighbor boy liked and spent all her money this week buying him a whole bunch of toys that he would like and then went home wrapped them up in bags and tissue and went over and gave the boy 2 huge bags of toys. When she returned I asked her"did he like them" and she was sad and said she didnt know they just took and a she left. Now that was this morning and still they have not called her, thanked her or even acknowlegded her or the gift, I am so hurt. I feel she is so caring and giving and I love that about her, and all they needed to do was say thank you or something, but nothing no acknowledgment at all, I cant believe it. This is the role models my children have as neighbors. When did it become acceptable that you dont even acknowledge a childs kindness and selflessness. I dont even know what to say to my daughter she keep asking if they called or anything and it is tearing me up, I dont want to lie to her, but I dont want her to think that is what people would feel of her wonderful gift. Man I wish some people would think about how important it is to teach children the proper ways. What a Horriable role model my neighbors are. Sorry I just am sooooooo upset tonight!!!

Ignorance is bliss......

While you are occupying all your valuable thinking space by steaming over the blatant disrespect that your daughter was shown, your neighbors are probably on their couch comfy and cozy watching some mindless tv show and smiling happily; just proving again that ignorance is bliss. I would explain to your daughter that not everyone is raised with the same moral values, and remind her that situations like this are EXACTLY the reason why your family DOES ermember to say thank you......
