How do you tell someone that they are the most ungreatful people you have ever known?

Question

My parents needed a truck really bad because they defaulted on their loan and the repo man was looking for their current vehicle. So, my husband found them a super cheap running truck through his work for $600. Can you believe it, 94 Chevy Silverado for $600 bucks. Well, the truck had a couple issues like a flat tire, no keys for the door locks and the air doesn't work because of a fan belt. Ever since my parents picked up this truck they have been completely ungreatful about it. Calling the truck a piece of c**p and throwing a fit about the few little things that need fixed. I am sick of it. Their other vehicle got repo'd and now this 94 chevy is all they have, they own it. How do I tell them to shut up? It runs great and drives smooth, the interior is pristine and the body is straight. How do I tell them to stop being ungreatful jerks and be glad my husband was able to help them out???!!!

Answer 1

I'm sure they are just frustrated because they had a nice vehicle and then lost it. They are most likely dealing with other money problems besides just that. Their complaints are their way of venting their frustration and chances are they don't realize how bad it hurts when they do that to you.

Tell them that your husband went out of his way to make sure they had a vehicle to drive and it hurts to hear them put it down when they could have been stuck without anything to drive.

Or you could do the mature thing and realize they are going through a hard time right now and aren't able to think about anything other than their own problems. I'm sure you seemed ungrateful at times when you were growing up. Did they call you on it when you did? Every single time?

Answer 2

Tell them, if they don't like it they should buy another one.. oh wait they can't because they can't pay their bills>>> tell them beggars can't be choosers and its their fault they have no money not your husbands.

Answer 3

The truth of the matter is that some people can never be greatful no matter what.  So really what I would do is to tell them to shut up and if they dont like the truck they can fix their own d**n problems.

Answer 4

Just straight up tell them look if you can't appriciate what we did for you then i'll take the truck back then what are you gonna have. I have learned sometimes you have to be a ***** to get your point across.

Answer 5

Tell them, or offer to buy the truck back for $600, and tell them to find another good running car with minimal problems with the money themselves!! I have this same ungrateful problem with my sisters, they see me struggle ever day with my daughter raising her and such but never put out a helping hand, but expect a hand out from every one else. Best advice, don't help out people who don't want to help themselves, don't do anything else for them, and tell them to quit wining about what they have no choice in. At least the have a car. They could been using that $600 on bus passes!!

Answer 6

I would tell that beggers can't be choosers.That is very rude.And remind them that your hubby went out of his way to help them and this is what he gets in return?Hope I helped

Answer 7

tell them if they are gunna keep complaining that you'll take the car back and get rid of it

Answer 8

Honestly, just print this off and read it to them(but try to reenact the emotion). I would hope that a parent would be ashamed that they are acting younger than their child. If not, perhaps they didn't have the best childhood either, but they should be grown enough to realize that life hasn't been fair so far. Poo on one hand, wish on the other...y'know?

Answer 9

tell them that if they dont appreciate what you have done for them after they had a hard time maybe they dont appreciate you and your husband. tell them to call you when they grow up and see what a great daughter they have.
