I sent my mom a picture of the Roll of Arms that Lachlan and I did for Pentathlon, and you know what her sole reaction was:  She wanted to know if my arms were on it.  Not good job, not fabulous, not any kind of praise, just wanted to know if my arms are on it.  (Which is no of course cuz it's a roll of the sergeants of Lyondemere.)  Now I ask you, what kind of message does that send?  She's always telling me how wonderful all of my relatives are but when I show her stuff I've worked on, that I'm a little proud of, she has nothing good to say.  Hrumph.

Oh, hon! I know what you mean, both my parents do the same thing to me and I hate it--it's so hurtful. I finally decided it was easier not to show them what I've made or done--that was about 30 years ago.
