Your
child's thanks for not only bringing them up and giving them everything they will ever need. doing their homework throughout their educational periods, for solving their ongoing everyday problems on an ongoing basis, taking their constant abuse and criticism once they leave home as they now know everything about life and then letting them move back in, each time they constantly fail in their miserable lives in the real world and then it starts all over again and even then they won't do any chores
around the house, like taking out the garbage to
the garage, never mind the
curb or even stepping into the garage to throw their recycles into the right bin, washing their own clothes, making their own meals and the list goes on from there but I am sure they will be there and on time when the lawyer reads out
wills and be wearing brand new clothes that we weren't available to buy them fortunately!
Example:
"
prepaid for by us in the
obituaries or there would have been nothing done!" In appreciation of their lives on this earth I would like to thank Mom and Dad for what they have done for us and
we hate you for leaving us so soon. - Your Children

appreciativeness
by The Mamma with the Quan on Nov 15, 2007 06:14:16
an overwhelming feeling of
gratitude - for example when someone uber generously gives you some music off their ipod.. and a fair bit
resultant love goes into
that word too.
Example:
The appreciativeness I feel right now is unreal - my
ipod's got new
va-va as my Romeo gave me some new music - and
new life.

a term of polite rejection used by
prospective employers, girlfriends and perhaps other people whose approval you seek. It generally means "I really don't give a crap, but
objectively speaking,
I suppose it's possible that someone else might."

Example:
My girlfriend doesn't appreciate me...
Doesn't everyone wish they got a little more
appreciation now and then....
Maybe if you appreciated her more you'd get a little more
respect...(see definition of "respect" by
Murray)
