Oh, where have I gone wrong?

Alex: i don't know what you mean!
me: ok what i mean is this:
in order to get what you want, you have to work for it
sometimes that work might not be nice or fun
but you have to do it anyway if you want to achieve anything
does that part make sense?
Alex: yeah
me: and do you agree with that?
Alex: yeah
me: ok
good!
and do you understand that it's a good thing to do something that's difficult instead of giving up and having someone else do it for you?
Alex: no
me: ok
tell me why you feel that way
help me understand what you mean
Alex: im used of people doing things for me
me: so?
babies are used to shitting in daipers
but they grow out of that
alex, there's something you must understand
Alex: like?
me: you cannot have everything done for you for your whole life and not end up an awful person.
it's as simple as that
do you understand?
Alex: yeah
me: ok good.
so you want to become a good person, an interesting person, a person with hopes and dreams and who achieves those hopes and dreams?
yes?
Alex: yeaah..
me: i knew it
: )
well in order to get there, you have to try stuff
you have to work hard at jobs you won't like
you have to make yourself go into situations where you feel uncomfortable
because if you keep taking the easy way out, you won't earn anything
Alex: ik
me: you do?
Alex: no
me: *headdesk*
