Spoiling our parents

I try to do all that I can to spoil my Mom, since she has always been so wonderful to me. Earlier this year, hubby and I bought my Mom a new car. I don't remember her ever having a brand new car, so it was so wonderful to be able to do that for her!!

My Mom works and is pretty well off, so there's no need to help her financially. My Dad (they were divorced and he passed away this spring) was never able to handle his money so we were always helping him out. We always gave my Dad money for all of his gifts because he knew better than we did what he needed.

My Mom has more money than she knows what do to with, but expects other people to pay her way. So no, we don't spoil her.

Both my parents work and are very well off financially, but I think my hubby and I still spoil them, mostly with time and attention. We spend every single weekend with them and take them out to eat and just do stuff with them (his parents too, they actually just recently moved here). I love my family; they've given me so much and I'm just glad to be able to give them whatever I can in return....feels like it'll never be enough for everything they've done

Girls I don't have parents to spoil they have both passed. So whatever you do be it spoiling with presents or just spending time with them. Be thankful....

You must be joking! But then again you already know my reasons.

Now if I had a loving parent then yeah I would do what Icould to help out.

There's absolutely nothing I wouldn't do for my parents! Each morning, I get up an hour early so I can go by their house and "check" on them. Daddy is 76 and Mama is 71. They are both retired. They worked all their lives and my mother worked 2 jobs while Daddy was recuperating from cancer surgery years ago. I can truly say that I have wonderful parents. When I pull up each morning, Daddy is outside waiting for me and he kisses me on the cheek.

When we go inside, Mama is just getting up and Daddy does the same thing EVERY morning. "Looka there Kim - just look at her! Ain't she beautiful" and then he breaks into "Here she comes - Miss America" He whispers, because he had throat cancer.

Now is that love or what?
