Do you think most people today spoil their children?
Answer:
YES! KIDS ARE SO SPOILED!! People think they are being nice and winning their kids affection, but they are just raising rude bratty kids who will not make it in society as adults. We should spoil our kids with love and education, not material things!
yes !!!
absolutely, unfortunately
no doubt about it.
some yes, some kill their children.
YES! They aren't just spoiled by the parents though. Technology spoils them. My children almost fainted when I told them I only got to watch cartoons on Saturday mornings as a child. We didn't have video games. We had to use our imagination to have fun. There wasn't a McDonalds on every corner so we didn't get happy meals once a week. There are many differences in society that has changed the way children think. I try not to spoil mine. I try to make things as close as possible to the way my childhood was.
I don't think it's most people. I see a lot of both. I think even if I had money I would want to teach my children value and that being told No is not a bad thing. But there are some out there that won't say No to their kids and will suffer when they are grown. I was never told No as a child and it took me A LOT of years to realise I couldn't have everything I wanted.
oh ya.now adays kids r sooo pampered dat its scary to think wat they wud become wen dey grow up;).....
he he but der r a few parents now adays who wud'nt mind killing their kids..and once d old ones gone dey wud create another 1 and tell the new 1 wat a brat the old one was(quoted by-Russel peters)
yes
Yes! They get everything they want from everyone so now they think everyone owes them something! Also, there's no joy in simple things anymore. I noticed someone spoke of saturday morning cartoons; remember when you would get excited to get up on saturday morning so you could watch them? Or even christmas specials and such, the whole family would gather around to watch them, now the parents just pop the dvd in and leave the room. It's sad actually. No joy in childhood anymore. No joy in the little things!
I'm not sure if you can really call it "spoiling". There are so many new mandatory gadgets these days, like computers and cell phones that kids actually need. I think a good parent has limits on stuff their kids can have.
yes they do. take my girlfriends daughter for example. She asks what do you want to eat, whatever she says her mom does. When I am around (I also have a daughter), i regulate, when the kiddo acts up or throw fits.
Her being spoiled results into her crying when she dont get what she wants. now when my daughter is around she see it as well.My daughter does what she's told to do and every now and then she'll act up, but it's nothing like the other said child.
I remember a time and I am sure you do too. That when you wanted something and couldn't get it tough. If we got out of line we did not get to go play or watch what ever movie we wanted. people need to get tough and not let a little kid run the show.
spoil no, coddle yes. no i see a lot of my friends who have kids make them work for what they want, however, they coddle them. continuing to treat them like they are 5 when they are 10.
yess!definitely..my friend said that her 8 year old sister already has her own cellphone...i mean what does an eight year old need a cellphone for!
That's what they're good for. You can't let a child grow up without ANYTHING that makes them feel special! (That- in my opinion is all spoiling is) Being a hard as s with your kids is no way to be... even if you are trying to prevent 'spoiling' them or whatever.
Yes, and I am guilty as charged. My Son is an only child, as was I.
But, on the flip side... he has very good manners, appreciates everything he is given. And if he choose to disrespect, he understands there are consequences.
So, does he have 5 million toys he'll probably never play with? Absolutely... Will we pass those toys on so other children who aren't; as lucky enjoy them? No doubt.
Since ive been a nanny and caring for children for nearly 15 years, i'd have to give a big fat answer of YES to this qestion.
The worst part is, theyre growing into adults, and I have to deal with the stupid grown up brats on a daily basis.
They don't have time to. The reason it appears to be spoiling is because they don't have the time to spend with their kids so they try to make up for it with Wal-Mart gifts and McDonald's.
YES! Most of parents today just buy whatever their chirldren want, and do not have them work for anything! Also most parents do not keep a tab on their chirldren, i am 16 and i know that my parents don't try to ask me questions about my life with boys and stuff (which i do not have much of one) but parents need to ask question, and just get involved, cause most of the teens today do drugs and stuff cause their parents just don't care!
Yes I think that way to many parents spoil their kids. First off, KJ kids do not NEED cell phones. I was 16 when I got one to take with me when I went out, my mom had it the rest of the time. Second of all, I dont think it is really all the parents fault that their kids are spoiled. With the ways child abuse laws are you cant even spank your child anymore. Now I know that alot of people are gonna be pissed at me for this one, but I do not see anything wrong with spanking. I was spanked as a child and there is nothing wrong with me and I know I wasnt abused. How can a parent control their child when "time out" doesnt work for their kid?
Yes we definatly do. Back in the old days, chores were required, not just a way to get allowance or money from their parents.
I don't think you can every spoil your kid with enough love/affection.
But you CAN spoil them with too much stuff! I see 8 year olds with more high tech cell phones then I have at 26 years old. It's ridiculous.
Yes I think most people today spoil their children. Most of the time I think its the youngest that is spoiled at other times I think its the oldest. It really depends on the parent.
Spoiled on what? That's the question..
I spoil my kids with knowing they are loved unconditionally.
I spoil my kids with my time..
I spoil my kids with good discipline.
I believe today's society is worried about the almighty dollar and kids are being left at home alone or with a sitter and parents show up when they have the time. Kids are being raised by the tv's and games.. Look at our crime rate... BIG change in the last 10 years.. Stop and think of the reasons and changes...
If parents would go back to the older days where the family and marriages mean something... Things might be different...
Yes I think so I see alot of parents that give thier chirldren every thing that they want just so they dont have to deal with them. We should go back to spanks, and hard love.
Yes I do. Some parents let there children/child get away with to much, instead of punishing there child if they do something wrong some parents give them a reward. We need to teach our children responsibility and make them know that we are not always going to be there to get them out of jams all the time.
yes definetly, with new technology, toys, clothes,food,movies, etc. it goes on and on how a child could be spoiled.
absolutely they do. lots of people let their child do whatever they want and talk to them however they want. My child however will not do that. I believe in spanking within reason. People say spanking is abuse but its not. Timeouts don't always work and if you walk away the child doesn't stay there anyway. But people definitely do spoil their children and thats why we have so many bad ones.
i spoil my son to death but i do have some limitations to things. i make sure the toys i get him are fun and educational for him, so yes he has alot of toys but they are mind stimulating but fun for him at the same time, but i alo do alot of hands on learning with him, i think now a days it isnt the spoiling of the children that is going on but with SOME parents they prefer the tv to be the baby sitter and dont spend alot of time with their kids
YES!
