I will give because I want to.

I will be kind because I believe people deserve kindness.

I will show love because I believe love should be shown.

NOT because I will get something in return.

NOT because if I do this for them now, they will automatically do it for me later.

NOT so I can hang it over their head later and guilt them into doing something they don't want to do.

This applies to any relationship of any kind. Your mom, your teacher, your husband, your children. GIVE FOR THE SAKE OF GIVING.
