To be their mother you should've raised them the way you like. On the other hand, they don't necessarily treat their mothers any better than they treat you.

If you don't expect anything but they do the way you please you should like it still (or even more?). But if you do expect something and it doesn't happen you should be disappointed. So what's the value of expectations?
The idea of someone's expectations being important to anybody else reminds me of some book character. He keyed other people's cars and subsequently helped those people by fixing that damage free of charge. He just wanted to be helpful.
It's all right to dislike anybody for whatever you like. But being demanding only makes sense towards oneself, perhaps.
