Spoiled Brat?

Question

My whole family calls me a spoiled brat. my parents even call me that!

Isnt it the parents fault if their child is spoiled?

I tried to explain that to them but they wont listen.

Answer 1

At some point in your life you realized you were spoiled, when the finger pointing began,from that point on you are as responsible as your parents for allowing them to continue....I have a 12 yr old who used to be spoiled by my mother non- stop......she, herself, put a stop to it.......she will literally tell her grandmother..."Nani, stop trying to spoil me" Thank God my 12 year old made the right choice perhaps you should consider that everytime you point your finger at someone else there are 4 other fingers pointing at you. You will never truly appreciate anything you have until you've had to work for it. Take on some responsibility for yourself and give your parents a break......kids don't come with instruction manuals...

Answer 2

Are you a spoiled brat?

If so it doesn't matter who is to blame. You're old enough to be asking this question so you're old enough to consider and change your own behaviour.

Try to talk to them calmly. Try to be the adult and ask them why they feel you are spoiled. Listen to and consider what they have to say. Let them know why you don't think you are spoiled or bratty. Insist they listen to and consider what you have to say because you have done the same for them. Discuss with them ways you think you can all improve.

It's your life. Maybe your parents did spoil you but they don't have to deal with the consequences of that. You do. If you don't want to be considered a spoiled brat when you are an adult by other adults you need to find a way to deal with this effectively even if it means facing the possibility that you are.

If you really aren't spoiled then you might need to learn to just move on. Accept their flaws as you can't change them. You can only change yourself.

It's a tough question to really answer as you don't go into detail, no examples, as to why they think you are spoiled, whether you think you are spoiled, and, if not, why not. And do you explain like the way that they tell you you are spoiled or do you listen to what they have to say and consider how it might be true if only from their perspectives?

It's often the parents fault, but not always, and it's no excuse anyway. Some parents aren't able to, or choose not to, give their children more than just what they need, and the children are ungrateful and expect more and take on a "spoiled brat" attitude although technically they haven't been showered with extras. Other children are given way too much and turn spoiled because they come to expect they will be given everything they want. However, at your age (i'm assuming you're at least 12 or 13 if you're on here) it may be their fault that you are spoiled, but that's no excuse for you to ACT spoiled. You are old enough to act mature and won't be able to go your whole life expecting people to give you what you want and blaming it on your parents. If you're old enough to understand the concept of being spoiled, you're old enough to "de-spoil" yourself. I don't say any of this to be rude or make assumptions about your attitude, but that's the way I see the issue of children being spoiled.

Answer 4

Well you admit your a spoiled brat, so it's now your fault. Your parents gave you alot and you don't appreciate anything now. So my advice to you is start doing for yourself. And remember to say thank you when someone does somthing nice for you.

Answer 5

their fault...! 100% if you let a child get away with things, they get used to it, take advantage of it and if they dont get it their way, God Forbid all hell would break lose. Its a hard habit to break, but they are meant to be broken. Stop being spoiled, and prove them wrong ;)
