After answering a question posed to me a couple of weeks back on another thread about if my son was excited about a wonderful opportunity presented him, I thought the topic deserved it's own thread.

I'm finding as my sons enter late middle school and beyond, often times they've become somewhat numb to what I consider amazing opportunities, educational options, extracurricular options, etc. they have. Far and away they still take advantage of them, however, sometimes it stuns me that they aren't as excited about the possibilities as I am.

I'm assuming others here have had that experience. I wouldn't call it ungrateful, simply a numbing. Perhaps it's simply raising of expectations? I'm simply trying to process my thoughts on the matter at this point, your input and experience is appreciated.
