I stopped volunteering to give Christmas gifts π to children because parents felt entitled to them.
People donated bikes and other nice toys. I imagine some of those people did without to make sure kids received their Christmas wishes. I gave out many gifts to parents and none of them said a word of thanks. I was shocked.

It was! I thought that people would appreciate that others cared about their children and wanted to protect them from the harsh realities of life. But they just wanted to come in and grab their stuff and go. I think they felt like people that donated stuff were just to be taken advantage of. I donβt know quite how to explain their attitude. I wasnβt the only volunteer that noticed it. Whenever someone does something nice for me or my family, I try to let them know that I appreciate their kindness and thoughtfulness.
Unfortunately when people expect it as their due, this is the attitude you get π My mom participated in a nonprofit that rehabbed houses and rented them to low income people. Some of the people just who had all of their rent paid for just trashed the place π Itβs very disheartening.
Nothing teaches gratitude more than going without things that aren't water, meat and veggies, clothing to fit the weather and maybe just a little too thin, and shelter from wind and sun and snow and rain.
