And then act surprised (or refuse to take responsibility) when that kid grows up to be a so-called adult with no experience in dealing with the real world (dealing with consequences, disappointment, realizing that the world DOESN'T revolve around them, etc.)

They are over compensating for their poor childhood. What they don't realize is they are ruining their children's ability to survive in the real world. And will always need a crutch for support.

No i imagine too many moms and dads ordinarily overindulge their children. The on a daily basis Mail loves stuff like this, it likes to commence a classification conflict. Theres a element of street close to the position I stay the position theres a cottage that receives pushed right into a minimum of two times a three hundred and sixty 5 days. not in any respect makes the on a daily basis Mail because the motive force frequently aint an ex student from a £26,000 a three hundred and sixty 5 days public college, yet a lorry driver from Sunderland.

IMO, many parents overindulge their children for either personal reasons (poor childhood, works too much, etc) or they feel that they will somehow damage their child's spirit by setting limits and not giving in. Personally, I am an involved mom that volunteers in the classroom and on the PTA and I try to give my children what they want with in reason. But, I feel the greatest gift I can give to them is my involvement in their schools and in their lives with homework, sports, faith, etc. They will be richer in the end.

Because they don't know how to give their children the proper emotional support they need to thrive so they substitute that with spoiling. They figure if the kid is smiling then that's good enough. They are in for quite a surprise when they are teens and adults.

I think they are too complacent to take a stand and make them behave and shape - up . It's easier to just cave in and say 'whatever' .
It really hurts me sometimes when I have to deny them things because I see already it would be bad for them later on or even dangerous . The static you get from them later when they are bigger and their protests become more vocal is enough to make some parents cave in . That's my opinion anyway to answer your question . Stick to your guns and do the right thing as a parent . All else will haunt you later when they are gone and their lives don't turn out like you think they should have .
Tough love is best .

I think their are a lot of reasons parents do this. Some are that they did not have things when they were younger. They are gone alot or not in the home and feel bad. It also seems that people do this because they are diconected with their kids, just give and do everything just to keep them out of their hair. But one of the biggest things I think is because they confuse this action with love. Kids need more time with their family and less THINGS.

I overindulge my children to give them a life I never had. I try to be the best mother because I didn't have a very good mom. I may give them everything but it makes me happy to see them happy.
