"TAKE FOR GRANTED"
We can say somebody takes something for granted if they assume it'll always be there for them, and they don't seem thankful for it.
Example: She had always taken her family's help for granted, and was shocked when told they wouldn't help her out this time.
Dar por hecho / Dar por seguro
Example sentences:
- Rosa says her children take her for granted and never thank her for all the things she does for them / Rosa dice que sus hijos la dan por segura y nunca le agradecen por todas las cosas que ella hace por ellos.
- Parents are often taken for granted by their children / Los hijos dan por hecho que sus padres siempre van a estar ahí ayudándoles.
Additional examples:
- If someone says you take them for granted, they feel that you don't appreciate their help.
- I wish you didn't take me for granted.
- I guess that I take a lot of things for granted.
