Good day fellow mylotters,
I really wonder why some people dont appreciate things. Aside from that, some does not know that care and attention is really priceless. As these gestures really comes naturally without expecting any returns.
Just like what I always saw to the family of my friend, as they are not that happy to see her staying all day in their house. Hence, my friend really does everything to make her family feel happy. As in, she was the one who takes care of almost every household chores.
And just to relieve her in sadness due to the treatment her family members is showing to her - I just always tell her that, whatever you are giving is out from your love to them - as your care and attention for your family is really priceless.

You are a good friend. People see things differently and all we can do is trying to give our best. Even when we did give our best, sometimes there are people who would see it as a 'bad' thing and try to turn it into a 'bad' thing. We could never be tireless in trying our best, though.
Like you, I think attention and care is the most important thing than words, jewelries or money. Though I admit that those thing are important as well...

A pleasant day Jennyze,
Yes, material things are important as well such as jewelries and money. As they bring a satisfaction to our eyes. Aside from that, it also brings some points to our personality - as due to those things, we somehow build our confidence to ourselves.
However, those materials things can be purchase anywhere as long as you have the means but the care and attention cannot be have just like that especially if you are living alone.

I think that a lot of Mothers feel as though they not appreciated, because they often do everything that needs to be done around the house even though they might have a full time job at the same time as that. I know that my Mother used to do all of the housework on her own, and even now she still does most of it. I will wash the dishes after meals and keep my room tidy so that she doesn't need to do that anymore, which is a bit of a weight off her mind. If my younger brother did a couple of jobs each week things would be a lot easier for her, but it doesn't really seem as though he is interested in doing the work even though he sees how stressed Mum gets.

That is so true. Your friend really has a good heart. I think that she really loves her family so much. Does she have her own family too? Well I think you really would just realize the worth of something or someone once they are gone. Well regarding those who cannot seem to appreciate little things may not have the happiness that we are all seeking for. They always complain and stay on the negative side.

i agree with you. there are just those people who don'd want to recognize that they receive the care and attention they are receiving. it may be because they are too focus on the mistakes of the person giving it to them or they want more. Your friends family may see her work as an obligation to them. But one day for sure when she is not around, she's already away from her family...they'll see her value, her care and the attention she had given them.

Yep, it's definitely priceless. Anyone will appreciate being cared and poured attention at. I can't believe some people don't think it's that important. They think that if you've done enough materialistically for them then it's enough. They have to realize that some things are priceless.

Sometimes though, because we usually do the household chores at home, our family members take it as an obligation on our part to do so. They never thank us or show us that we are appreciated for it. What a pity , but it is true.
Perhaps, your friend should make a sabbatical from their house. A week, will be enough for the other family members to realize that they have a great loss when she's not around.
I am happy to note that you love your friend so well.
