The message to these kids should be simple: buck up, or buck off!
My daughter would kill to have that kind of opportunity.........I must be very lucky as although she does have the odd teen moment, she doesn't take anything for granted, does the pony if I'm ill, is grateful for any opportunity to ride and always tidies up etc. Infact, she always mucks out/puts the bed back down because she says my beds aren't tidy enough, cheeky sod!
