ungrateful (non-skids)
I am tired of being an "assistant parent" to ungrateful little brats. You go out of your way to buy them things (like breakfast foods) you get what they want but in the mini version... Then the texts start.. I don't like it .. It's disgusting... My reply.. If you want something go buy it yourself. I know this pre-teen likes to push my buttons and test the limits.. But it will come back and bite her in the butt.I don't have to do anything... Especially when they ask for you to pick up something on the way home... Simply reply no.
They will hear it soon... I have no obligation to buy you anything.. You have two well enabled parents to take care of the things you need.. Not me!

It's amazing what happens
It's amazing what happens when you stop doing for them. I'm glad you're going that route!
When I stopped the special meals, baking the treats, the special outings to the movies and mini-golf, the skids starting appreciating me a lot more. But it was too late by them. I didn't care anymore. Their loss! Meh.
