I was talking with my mother the other day, and I said, "Mom, I don't remember acting or thinking the way these teenagers do today." She replied, "That's because you never acted or thought that way. Hard to remember something that never happened."
I have a real problem with ungrateful people, especially kids. I honestly believe, if you can do better than what is happening right now, then please do so. Don't use anything of mine. Don't eat my food, don't use my shower, don't use my electricity, etc.
Unfortunately we have an ungrateful teenager over here who thinks we are the scum of the earth, and his life is so horrible.
It takes all I've got to provide for someone, anyone that doesn't appreciate what I am doing, and in fact would rather not even be here.
I actually have a pretty good understanding of age appropriate ungratefulness. I don't expect a 5yr old to have the same respect as a 15yr old. By 15, you are old enough and mentally capable enough to understand life.
Webster’s Dictionary defines “Ingratitude” as: “Forgetfulness of, or poor return for, kindness received.”
How do you forget that someone has done something nice for you? How into yourself are you to not be aware of such a thing?
My entire life I have been aware of what others have done for me that I knew I couldn't do for myself. Especially because I didn't have a lot. This child over here (to my knowledge) didn't grow up with a lot, and yet has expectations and entitlement issues that are out of this world.
I really want to say, "Fine. Move out. Get a Job, and pay for whatever it is that you feel we aren't doing a good job of providing for."...
I'll just say...Pray for me.
