wat r your thoughts on...?

Question

children and teens these days being spoiled??

Answer 1

Im younger and a lot of my friends are given way to much and will never learn any responsibility from it. My parents didnt give me handouts like buying me a car, paying for insurance, cell phone, or anything like that because they knew I would care a lot more about it and be a better person if I had to work for it myself.

Answer 2

I think that children these days are being brought up to be very weak. Too many parents not letting their children play outside or ever get dirty. Children learn by experience, so I let my son experience as many (safe) things as possible, and if that includes dirt, grass, sand, water, whatever...so be it!! It'll wash off!!

As far as being spoiled, if these kids never have to learn to work for what they have and never learn the value of a dollar then how are they going to live in the real world when mommy and daddy aren't there to hold their hands?

Answer 3

I think that the parents are going to have one heck of a time explaining to them why the gravy train has stopped.

Unbelievable to me how many parents I know have charged their way to being "loved" by their spoiled brats.

The upcoming hard times, and don't fool yourself into thinking they aren't coming, will be very hard on the teens and young adults who think that they can behave badly and get everything they want.

Wake up parents, our job is to raise a contributing member of society; not a materialistic, rude underachiever who couldn't figure their way out of a wet paper bag.

Changing these attitudes may be one of the only good things that come from a downturn in our economy.

Answer 4

My thoughts are on the parents, not the kids, who want to be best friends with their kids or recapture their youth or whatever this incessant need is where there are few parents these days who stick to rules, follow through, make 'executive decisions' and do not let their kids whine, cry, pout, hit their way out of it.
It is appauling that so many of our parents cannot seem to understand that in the real world NO ONE is going to give their child 15 chances to do the right thing, NO ONE is going to say, "no" and then change their mind if you pout long enough. Sadly, we will all have to depend on these spoiled children to make laws, to make money, to take care of us....but of course few of them will want to do that and I am sure they can find a way to whine their way out of that too.....they will certainly have had enough practice!

Answer 5

You're right, they are completely spoiled. Most kids under the age of 10 live in houses where there are about 5 truckloads of toys laying around.

Answer 6

I am for spoiling children with love, time and affection..... I try to give as little rules as possible...and the ones I give....I make count

I am not for spoiling children with material things...cell phones...bedroom tv's entertainment systems or lavish b-day parties...

Answer 7

i think so of these brats need a good a-ss beating and need to learn respect and how to live with nothing like i did these kids now days don't know anything about survive "street smarts" or respect for there elders or other people in general when and if i have a kid it will be well disciplined like i was except for the part when i got hit in the face that's just wrong but trust and believe my kid does wrong there but will feel it and they will learn not to do it again if they do something dangerous that could hurt them or someone else they will get a but spanked and put in a corner. and when they learn to do right, be good and respectful they get treats and fun not until then. they have to learn right from wrong with love and discipline they always need love and care too not just discipline that is just to teach them and you don't ask you tell them and then as they get older you should only have to ask once other than that they need to go play have fun learn for them selves get hurt "not to bad" like fall out of trees and get dirty stuff like that go have an adventure in the woods
" not too far"

Answer 8

ehhh so what if u have money spend it and give ur kids what you wanted its how you raise them or who thier infulenced by my parents could buy me a 1 million dollar car does that make me spoiled? no it makes me lucky or fortunate but now if i act all different and mean to my parents or others then im spoiled and unapreciative. i guess if you dont have alot and then get some u aprecitate more than those who get everythign then get more but like i said ur parents can raise you to be apreeciative and if they dont care and give u stuff then you can turn out spoiled.

Answer 10

Its ok to spoil to a certain extent.
