Forgetful and Regretful

I am constantly asking my parents for this and that... well technically most of these things are for my horse, so he is really the one in need. But anyways, they are constantly going out of their way to please me and give me all that they can, and I rarely appreciate it. They pay for my horse's board, my horseback riding lessons, my phone, my car, my college counselor, etc. and I never appreciate it. I should be more grateful for how much they put into me in order to put me ahead in life. They constantly have to say no to my siblings because of me. They go to my ten hour horse shows and neglect my sister because she doesn't want to come with, and they drive me forty-five minutes to the barn so I can ride after school and get home at eight. My family gives up a lot for me to be successful, and sometimes I take that for granted because I do not know life without it. For example, if they took away riding, I would probably die, but I won't ever have to know that feeling because they hope one day it will get me a scholarship. Sometimes I dangle it over their heads when they threaten to ground me from it, but I really should be thanking them and trying my hardest in all that I do in order to please them and make their lives easier since my family gives up so much for me. I am thankful for my parents' "investments in my future" as they like to call it, and all that they and my siblings give up to help me succeed.
