Those Winter Sundays

I translated this into a kid not appreciating the things that his/her father would do. As a parent he would get up earlier than everyone and start a fire so that the house would be warm by the time everyone had risen out of bed. The father just did it, never being thanked because it was almost an expected task that should be done by him. The kid is unappreciative of him. This can be defined by most of today's youth. They expect things should be done and when things are expected, they often are taken for granted. If I was the father, I would wake the kid up and make him do it a couple of times so that he would appreciate the little things that I would do for him more, but that's just me.
