unthankful
Lacking in gratitude
Unthankful means not feeling or expressing gratitude.
Someone unthankful fails to appreciate what they've received or what others have done for them: He was unthankful for all the help his parents gave him.
The word is slightly formal or old-fashioned; ungrateful is more common in everyday speech.
