I have a sister who is VERY materialistic, and she is making her kids the same way. She buys them nothing but designer clothes expensive flat screen tv's ,bedroom sets. Its just plain sickening,there also very ungrateful. If if not a famous brand they don't want it. They often tease my daughter because i buy her clothes from target and other cheap places. I mean it's ok to buy your kids nice stuff,but also teach them values. I buy my daughter nice things but she also donates to charities and we also volunteer with habitat for humanities to build houses for the less fortunate . She see that there are kids in africa who have nothing, so she wants to share. Isn't sad how or future generation is gonna be a buch a materialistic superficial brats? not really a question more like a rant

Might want to try buying gifts for these children like storybooks with themes of generosity, kindness, caring for the environment, or awareness of whatever cause is dear to your heart. Be a good example for your sister's children when you are around them. Best of luck friend.

You need to sit down and have a talk with your sister about her kid's attitudes. She needs to make them volunteer with your daughter at some of these charities. Also tell her that it hurts your daughter's feelings when they make fun of her and if they continue to do so you will have to limit your contact with her. I would NEVER allow my children to treat others that way. Your sister is a bad parent for allowing this to go on.

Yeah is disgusting.It makes me sick that people in our society have become materialistic.People need to keep it simple.Unfortunately people look for happiness in materialistic things like designer clothes,expensive cars,etc.

I'd say most people are currently that way, forgetting the future generations. That's just the way of a capitalist society. Buy and buy more and buy better - it will make you happy and our cooporate leaders will get richer as you drive yourself into debt.
