Some parents spoil their kids we all know that but do you think it is wrong ?

On the one hand you have the chance that they may become a spoilt brat and demand everything that they want but it shows that you really love your child.

I am spoilt and i certainly dont demand everything in sight and im not a brat but some people think that because i get a lotta stuff that ultimately i am a brat i urge that i am not.

Is it really the fact that i am spoilt or that the other people are not spoilt enough?

So do you think that spoiling somebody is wrong even if your trying to show love and affection?

Well it is wrong because when the kid that has been spoiled goes out to the real world it will be hard for he/she to face reality.

............ hmmm...

I was spoiled when I was a child.

And I MEAN REALLY SPOILED!

Every toy I wanted, I got.
And if I didn't, I put on a tantrum or cried until I got it! ...and I ALWAYS got it.

I had more toys than anyone I knew during that time.
I was selfish and wouldn't let anyone play with me....


......... but when I was put out into the "real world" (AKA a school in Las Vegas when they didn't censor things) ...

I was... shot down so many times...

I mean, I was always beat up by my brother and physically-punished by my mom... but I was still a brat as always...

...until I went to that school...

... they hated everything I was... I had no friends.....
... ... I was just a cocky boy who never deserved anything he got...




........ it hurt like hell, and I went EMO at a very young age because of it (try being emo at 3rd grade) .........

But hell, it helped out a lot. It made me see so many things I never saw before.

... it helped me understand more people than they even could understand.

^__^ So... nothing wrong with being spoiled... they'll eventually be kicked into the light... one day or another...

No. I was spoiled, and look at me, and I still am. I tpying on my new labtop right now. But it doesn't come easy. Since the Parents aren't together. The stuff comes in more. but I had to get good grades as well, or it would all be gone. And because I'm the only girl out of 5 so. I feel like the world I'm ready for.

I agree. Parents don't do their kids any favors if they give in to every one of their child's demands. The real world just doesn't work like that. And I don't think that spoiling your kid rotten is how you say "I love you". I live in a dorm at college, and I have to say, you can really tell who the spoiled kids are. They are the ones that don't understand compromise, or that what they're doing might be inconviencing other people, or even how to clean up after themselves. You can just tell that their parents let them get away with murder at home, because they bring their "spoiled" skills out into the real world, thinking they'll work, and they don't.

Hell yes, it's wrong to be spoilt. Who wants to deal with a spoiled brat? I won't have my kids thinking that they can get what they want in life by throwing a tantrum because it won't work. The last thing my kids will be is spoiled. Not that I have kids now, but when I do. A long, long time from now.

well... i dunno about being spoiled...

i know about being sheltered, but not spoiled...

my parents showed me "love" by putting me in a box so "nothing could hurt me"...

i's prefer the children were not spoiled... or sheltered... simply becuz it makes things easier on teachers and fellow students... and especially on the child...

becuz i would never want to see our child... coming home crying... becuz kids were mean to him... it would just...

it hurts... for everyone... and i would rather that... our child becomes who they are as painlessly as possible...

^_^ but... it's not my life... it's our child's... ^_~* but i can help shape it!

I think there should be a good balance. I think you need to be shown love and affection but I also think that everyone needs a taste of hard work before they go out into the real world. My dad has made me work since I could walk so I definitely understand how it feels when someone has had just a really hard day at work. My mom and my dad have also been kind to me and given me things and that makes me grateful. In return for their love, I just want to be a good kid and make them proud.

Mind you though I don't think buying stuff for your children to show your love is a good thing.
