Lack of Appreciation

I recently had this exchange with Dad. I ain't telling you what to do but...

Hi, Dad. Now that I have a (nearly) teenager, I want to apologize for all the times in my life when I was ungrateful.

Nathalie is fundamentally a good kid, but there are times now when when she doesn't appreciate anything we do for her. Boy, that is really getting on my nerves. I know that we weren't spoiled as kids, but I can also imagine that there were times when it wouldn't have hurt us to appreciate all the things you and Mom did for us.

So straight up, thanks for doing all that stuff and making sacrifices when I was a kid. Would it have killed me to say thanks? No.
