When Your Kids Ignore Your Birthday or Mother's/Father's Day

For more discussion about these topics, join my secret Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/becomesupporter/DrPsychMom For therapy, contact us at www.bestlifebehavioralhealth.com Some people get a rude (literally) awakening at how selfish their kids are when they don't do anything for events like this!  But this oversight isn't really your kid's fault.  Of course, it's ideal for the other parent/co-parent/your partner to help them get something together for you, YOU CAN AND SHOULD MAKE SURE YOUR KIDS RECOGNIZE YOU ON THESE DAYS! Of course it still "counts" if you have to teach kids this, just like it counts that they can read if you teach them to read, or any other thing you teach them! In this episode we discuss which parents won't do this, the cognitive distortions that make them think they shouldn't have to self-advocate, and how this ends up hurting your kids.
