How do you handle unthankful kids or they are not supposed to be thankful to parents?

Was having this interesting discussion with other moms and all of them were sharing how unthankful kids have become these days who don't know the value of everything we do for them. Some newly become moms countered with saying, it's a duty of us as parents and kids don't need to be that thankful.

What you guys think?

Kids' behaviour largely depends on parents themselves as they copy what they see. They learn from them. Also, kids are naturally supposed to be unruly to various extent & don't understand the meaning of being thankful. Someone's over-expecting if she wants a 8 year old kid to be thankful for whatever reason; in fact, it's the responsibility of parents to teach & fix their behaviour so they turn out as good being when they grow up.
