[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry OP - It sounds like your daughter is fairly ordinary. It sounds like you really don't understand kids her age. Model gratitude, and you might start to see it. Expect some sass and imperfection. Don't make a nick nack at the toy store more important than it really is (you shouldn't have bought it). I know that it was always really hard for my kid to do errands after an athletic game. He was tired, and hungry dehydrated, and uncomfortable after giving his all on the field. [/quote] That's what we are wondering if it is just part of her development. Hah, yeah we didn't buy anything they were handing out as promotions. Toys are for birthdays and Christmas! As for modelin gratitude, we are very gracious to each other (we thank each other for who make dinner, and thank kids for putting away dishes or shoes or chores), though I thin we might sometimes grouse about work or some problem with the house or car.
