My parents love to spoil their grandchildren, but lately my kids have seemed so ungrateful for what they have! They are so used to my parents showering them with gifts that they don't understand how to appreciate anything. What should I tell my parents? What should I say to my kids?

your kids are brats, you are cruel, not allowing grandparents to see the children is down right mean.......you are the problem you let your children hear you say, excuse me,thank you, i appreciate you,thank you, i'm sorry i hurt your feelings. put more into parenting than what you do now allow the little monkies hear mommy monkey behave kinder. get going now before its too late....SORRY
i agree with meg24_83. If you were on the beach and the children were running toward the dangerous ocean,would you stop them? or let them go into danger........don't blame parents its you,,you ,,you. you like the parents to spoil, because you can brag about that, poor me look what my parents are doing to me, (my children) GET A GRIP!!!!!
at home my children have chores which they are expected to do because they are part of a familly and famillies work together. they are NOT paid for these however we do give them a chance to do extra things, like clean out the garage or wash the dog for which they can earn money to buy things they want. however my inlaws buy them whatever they want. we have explained to them our reasons for not just giving them things now they will ask the boys to do something small like set the table and give them 20 dollars. we are currently not allowing the children to spend time with them so we can moniter the spoiling maybe i'm being to up tight but it is our responsibility to mold our children into moral,hard working citizens. I refuse to let them down.
What you can do is give them chores like doing dishes, folding clothes, dusting (depending on the ages) and have them EARN something. Teach them the value of work and the rewards/money. And tell your parents what you want them to LEARN. Also get everyone/family involved in charities and volunteer work. Show your kids how to give back to the community without asking anything in return. Remember it all starts with you and your actions. Think of it this way "Monkey see, monkey do."
Honey, trust me it is the day and age -- explain to your parents how it is affecting your children. You have the power to stop spoilling them, BUT will you do it ? doubt it . Oh! but don't put blame on your parents for your children not getting what they deserve !! It is All you ! All You!! So do what you gotta do !!!
