Description: Do you ever feel completely unappreciated? It seems where I live the more I do the less I am liked. The more I give the more that is taken. Why is that?

Do you ever feel completely unappreciated? It seems where I live the more I do the less I am liked. The more I give the more that is taken. Why is that? Why is that when I feel your anxiety of lack I want to fill it up so you no longer feel that anxiety, and the instinctual response is to take more?
When my children were younger 7-12ish my son had developed this way of getting more. I would buy pop tarts for them. I would buy flavors I knew each liked, however my son liked all of them and my daughter only liked certain ones. So he would eat the ones he knew she liked first, knowing that she would not eat the others. This way he got more. This is the energy running through my home right now. Gimme, Gimme, I want, gotta have, right now!
So when I share a little bit there is an expectation that I will share everything. This has me unnerved that I will not have things I have bought when I return; which has actually happened a couple times now. It is this I will take what you are sharing and hoard what I have so that I get it all, or I have to buy less. Therefore I will not have to buy as much.
