"Thank you" hurts?
My family is weird and complicated...but who's is not?
My little sister and i have an issue. And she and dad have an issue now.My dad gave some snack to her and she said thank you calmly instead with a smile.
That polite response is not sweet at all, for my dad. He considers that "thank you" as a sign which means my sister didn't treat him as a family member. So that hurts him.

Sandi, I'm sure your little sister meant well. Sometimes we overreact to people's response and make a mountain out of a molehill.

You should tell him that in other countries is a form of respect and gratitude to say "thank you!" to your parents when they give you something...and your sister's cute way of thank him was her way of showing her love. People need to show gratitude from time to time. ^_^

Tell your Dad not to be offended by your little sister's lukewarm response. She did say 'thank you', which is a lot better than some of the spoiled BRATS here in the USA.
