[quote=Anonymous]I’m guessing there are a lot of bitter divorced women posting on this thread. I am in an intact marriage with no steps in sight, but I wouldn’t accept ungrateful behavior from my kids. If I took them to see a movie they wanted to see, they don’t necessarily have to say the words “thank you” but they have to show their appreciation through excitement, cheerfulness, maybe helping out with something without being asked, etc. If they act dour before and after I’ll be like WTF. Yes, I know divorced kids have it harder, but these kids hardly seem like they’re living a tough life, with $1500 presents showered on them. Divorce is harder if you’re poor. Both of their parents need to chat with them about being kind and appreciative.[/quote]
