My daughter is almost 10. She's had a cell phone since she was 7. She has a PS2, 30" TV, TiVO, iPod and a computer (with internet connection, filtering software and keylogger) in her room. She picks her own clothes, has streaks in her hair (think Lindsey Lohan in Freaky Friday) and enjoys experimenting with makeup.
NOW... Before you brand me the evil parent here is what you should know. We study together every night, watch cartoons every morning, I never miss her sporting events or school functions, she has more friends than she can keep up with and she is a straight A student.
Also... Stuff means nothing to her. She regularly donates toys and clothes to the local homelss shelters. We even donate to the less fortunate on-line together. People are very important to her so it makes her sad when friends say she is spoiled.
She and I are doing this together (so watch your language please). What do you think? Is she spoiled or just dearly loved?
