It's normal to want to shower him with things - you love him and are losing him. What he really wants is your attention and time - play board games with him-read to him - walk in the park and make up stories about the animals - these will be the most precious gifts for both of you - happy memories to lean on when things get bad. Take Care!

I am a mother of a beautiful adopted girl. She is the world to us and I cannot see my life without her. She brings so much joy to me that every time I think or wonder if I am spoiling her, I tell myself that this is to compensate for what she did not have before coming into out house. Every day she has been with us there is nothing that she does not get and most people will say that they are spoiled, but you have to be in the situation to really have an honest opinion. I don't think you are spoiling him. I can understand and you would probably do it if he was not sick. I can still remember the first day I meet my daughter the shape, the clothes and shoes she was wearing. Her first trip to McDonald's was scary for her, she did not know what it was and she was almost 3yrs old. They had her in a shoe size 4 and when I took her shopping she was already a size 6, no wonder my baby was walking crippled and they thought she had a birth defect. She is now 2 grades above level and I am a proud mother. I think we all show our love in many ways, but to be honest we all have different parenting styles, rules and beliefs. Go with your heart and you will find the answer there. In my mind and heart I believe I am just being the best mother I can possibly be... good luck and hooray to all the parents out there (adoptive or not)... high five

Are you sure he is dying? A dying boy can't be going to the store he would be in a hospital. What type of cancer has he got? Have you researched it on the internet?
Anything he wants covers a lot of territory. What the boy needs is love of his parents not things.

god how upsetting.
if he is going to die, they spoil him rotten, he wont become an adult so it isnt going to matter if he is a bit of a brat as a kid
let him enjoy life - give him so much so that he enjoys his life till the days he dies, thats the best he you can do for him
o and you are a saint, well done

You sound nice.
If you think it is too much, maybe he has not enough strength anymore.
I made the mistake with my old friend. When people were too serious around him I would play after they left, but he told me I AM TOO TIRED TO PLAY.

He deserves to be spoiled. But make sure you are spoiling him with love too.
