[quote=Anonymous]I don't really know if this is the place to post, but here goes: I have always had a very close relationship with my children, they are both young adults. When they are away at school we get along great. They don't work at school and when they request money(usually weekly), I put it in their accounts. One child never responds that he has received funds,no acknowledgement at all. The other child  always grateful and appreciative for everything.
That being said, when they came home this holiday, they didnt do anything at all, expect handouts constantly, and are basically rude.
My son doesn't even come out of his room and when I ask him to do ANYTHING he complains and mutters under his breath. They were so rude to me on Christmas. I actually left the room and cried. They were so unappreciative of their gifts I was sick. They are acting so spoiled and entitled I feel as if I don't even know them. If someone else gave them a gift they were gracious but my daughter would then text me that they got the wrong thing and it was my fault.
My daughter texted me late that night and apologized to me for her behavior. My wayward son has said nothing, just continues to be combative with me no matter what I say. I have actually stopped engaging in conversation with either of them. If they speak to me I am pleasant and civil. My son knows I am upset and has not spoken to me or asked for anything. My daughter is coming around and we seem to he getting over this. Honestly, I can't even speak about it to anyone because I am so embarrassed by their behavior and clearly I have enabled this situation.
