Thankless parents

[Peacefulbird]

Hi. I'm sorry to hear that. I think I have came to the conclusion that they're two types of people, the ones that had everything done and everything granted and the ones that had to work hard to get things.

The first ones do not have any appreciation or value for what has been done for them so, they do not normally say thank you. (I'm sure they feel that your efforts in putting together such gifts are part of your job and they're paying for it anyways)

The second type, they are aware of all your effort and pretty much know the value of your gifts, therefore, they would be obviously more appreciative and be more thankful.

I'm sorry to say this but, the way at times we raise children determines a personality inprint the more we give , the more they want. Also, over the years with the social media in hand I see more and more egocentric people. A clear example FB people showing off all the better they can be materialistically. And do not care if other countries in the globe are dying hungry.

So, to answer your question is; never mind or expect something back from certain people. I used to do same gifts, organizing B. parties etc. But, then I sat and I though where my given gifts go, my answer was to the garbage or recycle bin, (my hard earned money). And now I really make very thoughtful gifts. Something they will use it here or eat it. Or create something that won't end up in a garbage bin. Talking about that I have to start thinking on mother's day gift. ��
