Yea , Donald Trump isn ' t the US President yet , and won ' t be until January , last I checked , therefore he absolutely needs authorization to conduct diplomatic negotiations . <| sep |> Warriors fan bitching about flopping ? No way ! <| sep |> Nice , looking forward to it ! !<| sep |> I ' ve got the cinnamon roll parasol ? I ' m looking for any of the spa items or the Capricorn ornament <| sep |> its all good . Good luck trading ! <| sep |> how can there be misery on top of already existing misery I have no idea but fuck you op <| sep |> not be exactly what you want but I think it ' s a great offer ! <| sep |> Hey , a stop on a passing play ! <| sep |> That ' s a very overthetop way to describe someone who eats sugar . <| sep |> I ' ve wondered , too , what a healthy adult relationship with parents looks like . Most of my friends don ' t have them . But my boyfriend and one or two of my other friends do . And they don ' t always see eyetoeye with their parents . Sometimes there are some pretty major differences of opinion , belief , or lifestyle . The common denominators seem to be love and respect . They genuinely love each other , and they treat each other with care and respect . They don ' t belittle or demean each other , or trash the other person ' s opinions , beliefs , or choices . This is why I don ' t have a relationship with my mom . I know she loves me , in her own dysfunctional way . I understand why she is the way she isshe had a pretty awful childhood . But she can ' t or won ' t treat her adult children with respect . It ' s possible that no matter what you do , your children may choose not to have a relationship with you . But if you demonstrate love and respect to them , they will almost certainly want to have a relationship with you . They may come to see the world in a very different way than you . But that won ' t matter if they know that you love them and treat them well , regardless of differences of opinion . It ' s hard to find the right balance as a parent , to teach children to be respectful and to still show them respect . It ' s a learning experience for every parent . And it ' s good that you recognize that your children will make their own choices because they are their own people . It can be hard to learn to parent when you haven ' t had a healthy role model , but you ' re already doing better than your parents did . Just do your best , and everything will be fine .
