When someone does a good job, do we show our appreciation? I won't deny that I'm assertive. I'm sure many of you would be shocked about that.  It all began when I was younger. My mother didn't believe that a parent should stick up for their . She said she's seen that happen and then the make up and the parents end up angry at each other. I love my mother but I think there are times that parents SHOULD defend their . My father never stood up for me either, I should add. It wasn't his way. I once had a fight with a neighbor when I was a . He started it.. His grandmother came out on the balcony and said to me, "you shouldn't hit a younger ". Her grandson was 2 years younger at most and was taller and bigger than I was. My answer "if he is old enough to hit me, he's old enough to get hit back". His grandmother liked me from that moment on. The point of my story is that I stand up for myself. Nobody else has. So, when there is an issue with something I buy, I do contact the company to make things right. That said, when there is someone that does a great job, I try to make it a point to contact the company, to let them know about their good employee. Let's face it, we're more motivated to complain if something bad happens, but how good are we at putting as much effort, when thing is well done? I will admit that even though I try, there are times I slip at being equally diligent about something positive that happened. How about you? Elaine Shuel |

Taking this a but farther parents have a duty and obligation to protect their children, even if it is from the spouse. I spent 6 years as an investigating social worker for DCFS. I realize that my experience is limited because I specialized in sexual abuse cases. Physical abuse is more inclusive and varied. Most often the cases that resulted in long term removal of the children were because the mothers knew what was going on and failed to protect their children from the abuser . There are many reasons why they did this but regardless the bottom line reason for why they lost custody of their children was that they failed to protect them. Sometimes the mother did not know before we intervened. In that case the children were not removed from her custody if she took the necessary action to protect them from further abuse.

I'm slow to complain really I tend to let a lot of things go for the sake of peace but when I'm treated very unfairly then I tend to flip my lid and stand up for myself. I too always try to reward a thoughtful act of kindness or a job well done.

I think too often we are more apt to complain how poorly a job has been done. Giving out good comments and compliments seems to be a weakness in the work place. I know that is the way it was where I last worked. Sometimes recognition is not given where it is due. If I get good service when I eat out I give 15% tips. If they go above and beyond I let them know about it when I pay the bill.
