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.

I understand your feeling not that I ever have gotten it from my folks but... I get it at work all the time. Probably not the same thing at all, but it reads to the situation. It was not cool of her, but, let me say this: I think your work is beautiful, you are talented and diligent, and I would give you her praise in absentia. *hug* You did good, way good! *hug of pride summore*
