[QUOTE="jal, post: 309822, member: 3477"] WipedOut - I just read your post and thought I wrote it. husband took difficult child on Saturday to see Cloudy with-a Chance of Meatballs...bought difficult child soda, popcorn and candy AND let him play the video games at the theater after the movie. husband stopped to get a coffee on the way home and difficult child pitched a fit because he couldn't have a 5 cent peppermint patty. difficult child then went on to tell husband he was a "bad" dad. Once they came in the house and I heard all of it, I lit into difficult child for his attitude towards husband and had to explain about how his terrible attitude towards his father after him doing something special for him, make us not want to do other special things for him. I had him apologize to husband, which he did. It is infuriating to provide them with-something special and not have them appreciate it. Our difficult child is only 7, but still, I can't recall mysef having such a lack of gratitiude for when my parents did special things for us. Our difficult child is an only child and maybe a touch spoiled, but to ruin it over a stupid peppermint patty? Yikes, I know, only a difficult child can rationalize that! [/QUOTE]
