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.

QUOTE(brooklyneast05 @ Feb 22 2009, 05:50 PM)  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. Best response in this thread, imo. No, I'm not spoiled and I am very grateful for being raised that way. |

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.

I'm poor, but I am kind of spoiled for being as poor as my family is.

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. |

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.

Same with dishes, I cannot STAND for the sink to be full of dishes. 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. |

I guess they must have just taught me to take care of what's mine. 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. |

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.
