Ungrateful stepkids- need a rant!

Does anyone else ever feel like step parenting is a completely thankless task? I have the most ungrateful stepsons on the planet. Just spent ages cooking a lovely dinner from scratch (after working all day). Youngest one (12) pushes his food round his plate and then says he doesn't like it (even though he ate the exact same thing 2 weeks ago) and eldest (17) scoffs the lot without a word and then fucks off back to his room. Only one who thanks me and says it was lovely was my daughter.

I just feel like they take their lovely clean house/good healthy food on the table every night/washing done etc etc completely for granted. They don't have to lift a finger and I'm just fed up of running round after the ungrateful little shits sometimes!

Aaaaand breathe....maybe I'm expecting too much.

They are 9 and 15 by the way and my son is 16.

Totally @hotchocolatelover. If they don't eat what's put in front of them, they starve. Tough love
