Interesting replies...thanks everyone!
Beginning to wonder where i went wrong with my kids sometimes although i'm sure all parents must wonder if they are doing it right.
About 8 years ago now my first wife died after a very long illness during which i was her carer. After her death itook the decision to stop work to care for their needs for the next 2 years after which i worked just part time. The kids were 15, 13 and 7 at the time and obviously the elder two were affected quite badly by the loss of their mother. I did everything i could for them and now on reflection, maybe too much as now i think they expect everything. When their mother was alive she did everything for them so naturally i decided to do the same as anyone else would in my circumstances.
Now they are older (youngest is 15) i want my life back and am fortunate enough to have married a filipina and looking forward to our life together.
My kids are OK but i do feel they are selfish , dont seem to have much respect and have no morals...none of the things i believe are important and have tried hard to teach them are important.
