My sister is living the nightmare with two kids, both of them have that attitude of entitlement. I sure hope kml is right that maybe 23 might be the golden number. I have never seen kids act the way they do. Their father was killed 16 years ago and as a single mother, she's worked jobs she hated to give these kids what they need. She has put them before herself and has paid their college tuition so that they would not have loans. I do not know if it's the people that they are in communication with, but I do know that my nephew has issues concerning my sister selling the home that they lived in for 7 years. She and the kids moved out 6 years after their father died and it had been vacant and became a money pit for about 11 years. Now, the nephew keeps bringing up about her selling off all of his father's stuff. Unfortunately, he doesn't have a clue that his father's stuff in stored at my house and my mother's house. His attitude is just plain down right ugly. My sister has been a saint, but at the age of 23, 4 years of college and waiting to be called to work at the PO, if he were cussing after me, he would be shown the door and told "take a ride and when you have calmed down, then we can have a discussion."
The generations after us are getting more and more entitled. I saw it a lot in the work place.
I know it's frustrating and difficult not to say something, but try to remain calm. As for your father, I think I would leave him be for a while. You tend to be the one that always reach out first. This time, let him do it.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
