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!
" 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

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)

Cultural appreciation is taking the time out to learn about different cultures and their traditions. To become more open in understanding the truths about a culture and embracing them in a respectful manner.
Every culture is absolutely beautiful and unique, and it's no wonder other cultures want emulate that.
Unfortunately, Cultural Appreciation can get confused with the term Cultural Appropriation
