i hate you.
Cyanide-
My parents are doctors, but they have never spoiled me with anything at all nor have they ever spoiled themselves. Ive never had a big party like that, i didn't get a car on my 16th birthday and i'm happy about that.
We're careful with our money we don't spend recklessly, especially now, and i was always taught that money will never be given to me and that i have to earn it.
I don't go on shopping trips every weekend and when i do go shopping its like a few times a year and even then i'm set a limit.

What?! Im not spoiled!?
Where did you get that idea?!
How many mortgages do your parents have?
We are very thrifty! Im sure we could live much richer than we do but we only have one mortgage and when we buy houses we like putting at least 30% down so the mortgage is low.
O! Are you refering to how much money i have juna?
I only have money cause i started a business. I dont get allowance.

I figured, but sometimes not everyone does. So just be careful
ForgiveTheSinner
I get a roof over my head.

My parents stopped giving me lunch money and allowance since I have a job now. But I don't have to pay for my car insurance which is good, so I think I'm average.

willingly spoiling your kids is one of the worst things parents can do to them imo. it's something way way too many don't ever grow out of.

Nope, I'm not spoiled. Come one, I'm Asian. We got beat when we were young and pressured to excel in school and were very sheltered. whistling.gif

Your mother gave you a pink cage.

I think most people stop being spoiled at 18, but I know a bunch of people who are around that age or older (people I go to college with) who have their parents consistently fueling and refueling a bank account for them. It makes me sad/jealous.

I dunno though, when I moved into my house my mom spent about $200 on groceries/getting my room set up (the guys I live with basically had everything else, I just needed to furnish my room). That's not a lot of money, but I felt spoiled because I knew it was a lot to her.

damn...hahahaha hmm idk if im spoil or not i dont think so well maybe at times but my 2 lil bros get exactly what they want grrr >.<

Nope. Never had the luxury of getting expensive gifts or hand outs for that matter. By the age of 15 I had to get a job in order to pay for my clothes, video games, and entertainment. But it's all good, now I'm successful and I know that no spoiled brat will ever have to struggle like me and my family did. Thus making me more successful than them. thumbsup.gif

Best response in this thread, imo.

No, I'm not spoiled and I am very grateful for being raised that way.

word.

i guess i'm spoiled in the sense that i usually get what i want, but i never really want for anything extremely extravagant. i'm just good at convincing my parents (my dad, especially) to buy me the things i think i need, i.e. texting, macbook, ipod, ihome, ... and the college kid essentials. my parents constantly offer me money, but i usually tell them "no."

Same. My parents get me whatever I want but that's only because I rarely ever ask them for things. Thing is, I don't abuse it like most do.

I'm not spoiled at all. I've worked hard for all the shit I have. So just because I have alot of money doesn't mean I'm spoiled.
Tramatize
I'm poor, but I am kind of spoiled for being as poor as my family is.

I know... while I was in Middle school my mom literally worked 3 jobs. It sucked, during that time I had to learn how to cook for myself and do my own laundry. Had to help my mom as much as I could. sad.gif

cooking and laundry are easy as hell. did you also mow the lawn, or was that your daddy's job?
libertie
LOL I've been washing my own clothes and cooking dinner for a family of five since I was in 6th grade, and never complained once about it. I wanted clean clothes (and I wanted it done right) and I got tired of eating boxed meals. It was just something I did because I liked the outcome. Same with dishes, I cannot STAND for the sink to be full of dishes.

My parents didn't mistreat me or force me to do chores to make me this way. I guess they must have just taught me to take care of what's mine.

My father wasn't around past the age of 3. I was pretty much the man of the house. Which in a sense was a great advantage because my mother allowed me to own an assault rifle and take up Marksmanship courses at the age of 18 for the sake of home protection. thumbsup.gif

I've been taking care of things on my own as far back as I can remember, but that's just because my mom has been ill all my life. When I was 10 she had major surgery and couldn't do anything, so I came home from school and cooked dinner for my family, did the dishes, the laundry, cleaned the floors, etc. My friends didn't really understand and told me that my parents were using me, but I was just pulling my weight, and I think in the end it helped me be more independent.

My parents will buy me things if I tell them I need them, but if I tell them it's just something I want as an indulgence, they won't buy it for. So if I was something expensive I have to tell them it will help me for school... but the expensive things I want usually are for school anyways.

Same, only since around the second or third grade. Mom was into her "theater" stage still at that point and someone had to take care of the kids. My grandma was there, but her husband hated us for being around all the time. lol He was cool though, I probably would have been sick of us too.

Then when my grandma died (I was in the seventh grade), mom fully embraced her inner child and I was back to being a full time older sibling. I cooked Hamburger Helper A LOT. haha I still love cheeseburger macaroni Hamburger Helper.

So if you wanted an iPod for school purposes, would your parents pay for it?
Stefanny
My brother is more spoiled (than I will ever be).
Maccabee
My brother gets whatever he wants, and i could prob have those same things but he takes advantage of my parents and forces them. haha. well...more like whines until he gets what he wants.
It just annoys me how i buy stuff and then he gets it for free.

agreed. i'll spoil my kids with love but i'm not gonna be one to shower my kids with gifts for no good reason. give them too much and they'll start to think they deserve it.

Spoiled? Yes. But God knows we work for every penny.
AyeVickaye
Psst. I've never been spoiled, my parents make me pay for my sh!t. Most of my friends are only childs and their spoiled w/ fancy cars and stuff from apple. One of my friends 12 year old brother got an iphone, laptop, ds, and xbox 360 for his birthday. THATS SPOILED.
