Answer 1

No, you're pretty

Answer 2

Some people may see it that way. Consider this: I assume you are over 16 years old, which means you should start taking some responsibility for yourself. This means, a job, earning some of your own money, saving money for the future, and trying to pay for some of your things on your own. Your parents won't be there forever to take care of you. On the flip side, many parents want their children to have what they didn't have. Honestly, if you are not working or even attempting to pay any of your own expenses, yes, it seems you could be getting very spoiled. I came from a family where my father was able to do the same for me, however, I moved out when I turned 17 and got a job, bought a car...all that stuff. My father still helped me when I needed help, but I felt good knowing that I could do it on my own...and I felt secure knowing that if I ever got in a pinch, dad would be there for me. My dad passed away three years ago, and I've hit some rough spots with money, but I'm glad I learned how to do it on my own...like I said, parent's aren't there forever.

Bottom line, it's good that you have that kind of support, though it can spoil you. Start learning to manage your own life and finances, but be greatful that you have someone to help you out as you break into the "real world" and your own life.

Answer 3

I think you are spoiled...but I also think you are lucky and should be grateful for what you have. I have had friends whose parents treated them this way and they took advantage of it because they knew mommy and daddy would get them anything they had no value of money and they didnt respect anything. those people are now in their mid 20's and still living off there parents. Even those of them that have jobs just blow their money on going out and stupid things or hoarding it because their parents still pay all their finances and they still live at home! I personally got a job when I was 15 not because I had to but because I wanted theat sense on independence...once I got a job my parents made me pay my cell phone bill my school lunch and my clothes. my mom paid my car payments and my insurance until I was 18 then I took it over. By having to take on responsibility for my own things helped me to mature faster than most teens and taught me what the value of money is and to respect things...I now have a 5 yr old daughter and I firmly believe in making her get ajob when she is 16 or so although I will still help her with things like a car she will have to use her own money to pay for some things such as clothes and a phone if she wants one..it teaches responsibility and makes them a better person and gets them ready for the real world.

Answer 4

If you're old enough to have a job and pay your own bills, then yes you're spoiled, definitely. If you don't learn now to pay your own bills you are going to have major problems when you eventually grow up. What if something terrible happened to him? Would you be able to pay all your bills on your own and know how to do it responsibly? Think about that. The other thing is, even though I'm sure you love your dad very much, you're taking advantage of him. I know you don't mean to but that's what it is. Someday he'll be old and may need you to be the one paying all his bills and taking care of him. Treat him right now while you're young.

Answer 5

If you're still in school, then no, you're not spoiled. If you're not in school then, yes you are! When I was 18, my parents paid for my car and the insurance-I didn't have a cell phone and the car was an old one-not expensive. As far as an allowance, I had to save the money I earned and show my dad a bank statement. If I needed $500, I had to show that I could save it. He gave me money when I needed it, but I had to show him that I was responsible enough to save up for it.

Answer 6

I would call someone "spoiled" if he/she behaves like a b****. So, this is not the case. But don't forget one day you should start earn your own money. Hence you become independent financially and do whatever you want with your money and time without reporting you parents.

Be a good girl.
And one more time you're not "spoiled", they just envy you.

Answer 7

being spoiled is only ugly if you act different because of it..... if your father can afford to give you the things that you desire there is nothing wrong with that ..... but be prepared for comments like this .... jealousy lurks around many corners some you can see coming and some you cant. maybe to avoid this you should keep you financial business to your self not every one has to know every thing your father does for you.... but don't let anyone make you feel bad about being privileged your father works hard in order to support you and your family. take care

Answer 8

You will never learn how to manage money as long as someone is always paying for your stuff. Get a job you will have a great feeling whne you make your own money, you will feel a sense of independence

Answer 9

Probably. How old are you? If you have your own car, then you should have a job. I am a parent and I am all in favor of helping my children, but if you want to be treated as an adult and have adult things, then you need to act like an adult.
