Don't do something in order to get thank yous. That's not what I meant. I meant if you are doing something that gets you thank yous, analyze them. But do it because you are passionate about doing it and the doing it is its own reward. Does that make sense? The nut of this idea sounds good, but be careful.

However, when I point out all I have done for my child, and ask why the school or the therapists can't continue to do what I have been doing, they just say, in amazement, "Just keep doing what you're doing." Like, I KNOW what I am doing! Babies don't come with handbooks, especially those missing the mid parts of their brain and have adrenal insufficiencies that are life threatening, born to mothers that had 22 hours of brain surgery at age 15 (but, who did not have baby until age 32). I don't get thank you's, only get, "oh, bless your heart", and before I had him, "you should be a comic." Any advice? I do great on YahooAnswers.

Been working on this. My readers thank me for making them laugh. So that's what I'm working on doing better. What could be more fun? And this is great building on that core offering stuff from last week. Consider me a new groupie. Looking forward to the class this fall. You're so good…. Been working on this.

I'd have to say most of my blog commenters thank me for making them feel like they're not alone. They're not the only moms struggling to get it right, balance everything & stay sane. I love getting that feedback. That's a really interesting question: What have I been thanked for? I'd have to say most of my blog commenters thank me for making them feel like they're not alone.

I was surprised when they started rolling in, b/c I thought people would regard it like we regard swag in LA -- like stuff you always get. But as it turns out, people just love winning stuff. It's nice to win. I'll definitely remember that going forward. <br><br>On another note, I usually read blogs on my iPad, but your commenting system isn't compatible w/ the the iPad. Ironically "Disqus" has kept me from commenting on quite a few posts from you and other bloggers. Just thought you should know. M/b ask Disqus to make their comments system compatible. If they get enough requests from people, maybe they'll adjust their coding to allow people to comment on their iPads and iPhones.
