    Most people now a days who were raised below middle class, for the most part always complain about people that were/are spoiled as kids.

    But when those kids that were not spoiled growing up finally reach adulthood always say,

    " Once I have kids, I will spoil them "

    Some people have a hard time admiting they were raised poor.... they just want to blame the lucky guy.

    I was raised poor and still am poor.




    lol.. my bad I went back and read what I wrote.. shit was all over the place.. lmao.

    gotcha. i undestand what you mean now. i agree that a number of people who were born without tend to chastise those who give in abundance to their children... and i agree that some of these will, in turn, spoil their children if they make a good life for themselves... and this can be seen as hypocrisy.. but, i don't hold this against them... it is tough saying no to your children and not every parent is up to the task...

    luckily, i don't have that problem... no children.

    the subject of that sentence was saying no to your children being hard and that being the problem... not that having children was a problem...which is what i am taking away from your post.

    You took the wrong thing from my post. It's not really hard to say no to children. I do it multiple times a day to all mine. It's a part of their growing up to learn that there is a limit to what you will/can do for them so that they learn more what to do for themselves. There are no problems in raising a child. There may be hardships. But no problems. Later, QD.

    I read this....and once I have kids, I will still spoil the crap out of them. However I will instill the same method I raised myself on. Working your ass off for what you want. You work your ass off, I will get you a cell phone and you will pay some of the bill. My child is expected to bring home A's and B's....you do not get a "treat" for a good report card. Your report card is suppose to be good.

    That's when I have kids of course
    My boyfriend is better than you...

    That's not spoiling. That's teaching your child to work for what he/she has. That's the way parenting should be. My children don't get shit for a good report card. What they DO get is a good education and the start to a better life had they not studied. Later, QD.

    In a way it is; just not materialistically. I feel spoiled to have parents that have made me pay for mostly everything I have ever wanted, since my age was a single digit. Mainly because they didn't set me up for failure, they taught me

    Teaching your child how to survive and function in the world is not spoiling them. It's ensuring they make it to be the best of their ability. It's what they do with your efforts that determines their place in life. Later, QD.

    My mom is a social worker for DFACS, I know there are a lot of children that aren't given what they deserve as a child (such as what we're discussing, among other things). I see it as spoiling, just because I know it's worth more than being handed what I want.

    If that makes sense
