YES!!! KIDS ARE SO SPOILED!! People think they are being nice and winning their kids affection, but they are just raising rude bratty kids who will not make it in society as adults. We should spoil our kids with love and education, not material things!

Spoiled on what? That's the question..
I spoil my kids with knowing they are loved unconditionally.
I spoil my kids with my time..
I spoil my kids with good discipline.
I believe today's society is worried about the almighty dollar and kids are being left at home alone or with a sitter and parents show up when they have the time. Kids are being raised by the tv's and games.. Look at our crime rate... BIG change in the last 10 years.. Stop and think of the reasons and changes...
If parents would go back to the older days where the family and marriages mean something... Things might be different...

YES! They aren't just spoiled by the parents though. Technology spoils them. My children almost fainted when I told them I only got to watch cartoons on Saturday mornings as a child. We didn't have video games. We had to use our imagination to have fun. There wasn't a McDonalds on every corner so we didn't get happy meals once a week. There are many differences in society that has changed the way children think. I try not to spoil mine. I try to make things as close as possible to the way my childhood was.

Yes I think most people today spoil their children. Most of the time I think its the youngest that is spoiled at other times I think its the oldest. It really depends on the parent.

I don't think it's most people. I see a lot of both. I think even if I had money I would want to teach my children value and that being told No is not a bad thing. But there are some out there that won't say No to their kids and will suffer when they are grown. I was never told No as a child and it took me A LOT of years to realise I couldn't have everything I wanted.

yes they do. take my girlfriends daughter for example. She asks what do you want to eat, whatever she says her mom does. When I am around (I also have a daughter), i regulate, when the kiddo acts up or throw fits.
Her being spoiled results into her crying when she dont get what she wants. now when my daughter is around she see it as well.My daughter does what she's told to do and every now and then she'll act up, but it's nothing like the other said child.
I remember a time and I am sure you do too. That when you wanted something and couldn't get it tough. If we got out of line we did not get to go play or watch what ever movie we wanted. people need to get tough and not let a little kid run the show.

Yes I think that way to many parents spoil their kids. First off, KJ kids do not NEED cell phones. I was 16 when I got one to take with me when I went out, my mom had it the rest of the time. Second of all, I dont think it is really all the parents fault that their kids are spoiled. With the ways child abuse laws are you cant even spank your child anymore. Now I know that alot of people are gonna be pissed at me for this one, but I do not see anything wrong with spanking. I was spanked as a child and there is nothing wrong with me and I know I wasnt abused. How can a parent control their child when "time out" doesnt work for their kid?????

That's what they're good for. You can't let a child grow up without ANYTHING that makes them feel special! (That- in my opinion is all spoiling is) Being a hard as s with your kids is no way to be... even if you are trying to prevent 'spoiling' them or whatever.

Yes I do. Some parents let there children/child get away with to much, instead of punishing there child if they do something wrong some parents give them a reward. We need to teach our children responsibility and make them know that we are not always going to be there to get them out of jams all the time.

I don't think you can every spoil your kid with enough love/affection.
But you CAN spoil them with too much stuff! I see 8 year olds with more high tech cell phones then I have at 26 years old. It's ridiculous.
