To Lisa
Quote From: sccutieI have watched this show and i am very angry with it. i was born an only child but these kids seem to take it to a whole other level. yes i was spoiled....quiet a bit actually....but my parents slowly weened me off of it when i was starting to get older around 9 or 10. i was starting to get an allowence and when i went somewhere with my parents....i would always find something i wanted. a doll or some candy. my dad was always the one who was telling me if u want something lisa, u gotta give in order to take. this made me realize everything wasn't made of money and that it was hard to "earn" what i wanted. if i did not do my chores around the house and check the mail, i got no money for the week. an allowence isn't just money u give to ur kid, its money they earn by doing things. some of these "rich" kids don't no how good they have it and what they get for a swet 16 party or what they spend in a week is something some parents don't make in a month. they should be gracious. if my child ever cursed at me or told me to shut up they would step foot in the outside world for a long time. I am glad your dad told you that you had to earn the things you wanted. I to only have one child and I do admit that he was spoiled but not like the kids on the Dr. Phil show. When I took him shopping and he would see the other kids screaming and crying for something, I use to tell him do that and I will leave you in the store. He understood when I said no I mean no. You need to thank your dad for teaching you some values and morals.
Aloha
