I haven't read such a good analysis of entitlement in a long time. The examples that you use are from our daily life but we often don't realize how entitled we are.
It's so convenient to turn on or off the heating, to pack everything in the shop into plastic bags, to buy cheap clothes, etc. But we often don't realize what happened in the background and what kind of impact our behaviour has on other people or environment.
Thank you for this thoughtful post. It was my pleasure to read it and I'm happy to hear how your daughter thinks and what kind of questions she asks :)
Thank you for all the compliments! 😊
When I get frustrated because something's gone wrong and I can't do something as easily as I normally would, I try to remember how much had to go on behind the scenes for that to happen. It puts into perspective why it went wrong and reminds me that we used to manage without many things before these privileges came along. Then I find a different solution or wait, patiently, for the problem to be resolved.

This is a good attitude! I will try to apply it too as I very often get impatient.. :)
