Why on earth do kids think it is cool to be spoiled?

Question

I heard my daughter and her friends talking about shopping and whatnot, and two of her friends come from wealthy families. They were talking about how much money their parents give them to waste on clothes and shoes, and they took pride at the fact that they were spoiled. I'm baffled...those kids were bragging about their maids and how they look down on "poor people". Are wealthy parents so stupid that they teach their kids that they're better than everyone else?? Since when is it "cool" to be spoiled like Paris Hilton??

Answer 1

Rich parents believe they need to give their kids money to make them happy. That's completely wrong and spoils children way too much. Kids need to be taught the value of earning a dollar instead of inheriting it.

Answer 2

Being spoiled is not a kids fault, of course they are going to think getting everything they want is cool, as for looking down on poor people, I have to say I was pretty spoiled as a child (still am a little) I did not come from a wealthy family, and I was never a brat, and I don't look down on people with less, I do feel alot of people with limited means look down on people who HAVE money because they are jealous.

Answer 3

I agree, it's ridiculous. Just think how ill-prepared those young people are going to be, if they end up on their own and have no idea how to work and support themselves.

"South Park" did an episode about Paris Hilton... showing her little dog in the limousine, shooting itself in the head with the chauffeur's gun, to get away from Paris Hilton...
(rather extreme--but just shows how obnoxious "the spoiled" can really be.)

Kids do not know the concept they are being taught as they are being spoiled. Spoiled only gives them attitudes of materialism makes them who they are. There self worth is minimized by their love for material items. When the become adults and want real love in their lives for others and themselves they will not know what it is.

Answer 5

Its cool to be spoiled because they feel they get what they want when they want and dont have anyone telling them no. Of course, when they get out into the real world, where they have to start working for money, it wont be so cool then

Answer 6

I can bet you that these kids don't feel loved by their parents. Some parents feel as though they can make up the missed time with thier kids by luxary items and money. I would rather have my family together than parents I never saw with a whole lot of money.

My virtually 3 year previous and four year previous are finished opposites. #a million replaced into so very laid decrease back, in no way cried, slept all nighttime, a finished exhilaration as a newborn, great smart, a astonishing mommy's helper, waiting to do despite the fact which you ask. #2 replaced into plenty greater severe desires, she cried plenty, fussy, in no way slept, greater complicated as a newborn, stubborn, does not hear besides, etc. the superb piece of advice i promises you is include their variations. My 2d is plenty greater paintings, yet she has some astonishing attributes her older sister does not. She is so very loving and cuddly. So I basically remind myself of her solid features.

Answer 8

Well, rich parents usually don't pay much attention to their children, so they just give them money and let them do what they want. They buy themselves good stuff so they think they're superior to other people. Growing up spoiled can really ruin someone.

Answer 9

Well, these kids feel that they're better than the others and the others believe this if not told otherwise. Its all about supiriority and it is also practiced in the adult world. These rich feel sperior because they feel like having more things is better.

Your daughter needs new friends. Please talk to her. Then show her by being a living example of how to be a good caring person.
