The card is gone. What's done is done there and they say that we are not to give with the expectation of receiving anything back. Yes, he is ungrateful but as he goes through life and has to meet his own obligations and challenges he will hopefully mature.
If his funds are limited and he cannot buy for anyone (this is an assumption as I don't know his financial situation), he could give the gift of himself - spend time, help with little chores, perhaps be there and take care of the younger kids one evening so the adults can have a nice evening out.
I don't think that's going to work out however, so I can only say that next time he demands something, remind him you are giving him the greatest gift of all - you love him in spite of his actions. |
Very well said...I think I would have to agree with this..
