What are you hoping your children will give you for Mother's day / Father's day?

As many of the MyLot people know, I have had problems with my daughter (she's my only child--thankfully!!) and so I don't hold out too much hope for anything for mother's day. I would be happy with just a card but I know that won't happen. I think the best gift that my daughter, son in law,and two grand daughters could give me is that they have gotten their lives together and have started working towards becoming the responsible people that they should be. I'm not holding my breath on that wish either, after my son in law was arrested for DUI, child endangerment and wrecking the vehicle that they had purchased a month and a half earlier. Two of the felony charges were dropped and the third was reduced to a misdemeanor, but still it was sooo irresponsible of him to drive like he did. It turned out that he wasn't drunk but still as my daughter put her foot down and told him no more drinking outside of the house, and then she is even limiting the amount of alcohol in the house. (while they were staying with me my son in law and his uncle were getting drunk almost nightly!)But, as I say, I just want them to start heading their lives in a direction that sets a good example for the grand daughters and getting themselves to a point that they are the responsible adults they should be. I would add one more wish, and that is that they learn not to be so selfish and learn to give to others in need rather than working so hard at accumulating so much meaningless "stuff" for themselves. What is your greatest desire for your children to give you for Mother's or Father's day?
