I dont know if this is a disipline issue but our blended house has huge issues of not saying thank you especially when we do special things or get upset if we dont do exactly what they want. Like if we go to the movies they have to have a drink popcorn and candy or it isn't a great time and they never say thanks. Or we go skating and i dont get them food. Or we go to a presentation at the nature center and do a short walk instead of a long one and they complain.
Or they are envious, why x get to go here? Why does why get to do that?
I am beginning to think it is a blended family issue but for the love, it drives me mad...the kids have it good they truly do. They all are in a blended situation but they get time with all parents, get to do sports and such, we dont deprive them they have all they need and more than most in this world.
Just not sure how to correct the attitude. I have went into conversation when that stuff comes up but they always do it and it hurts to know they dont appreciate all we provide.
I just dont remember being so ungrateful as a child and i had much much less than they do.
