Spoiled and Entitled

Quote From: jesusislord

Well   some parents  give there child way too much.  The reason they get spoiled  is because  parents don't know how to say no to there child!   They don't want to hear the fussing so they give them what they want. Even knowing they don't have the money.  That they got bills to pay!!   A  parent has to start saying no at a young age.  No matter how they react to it.  That way  they will grow up not  spoiled.  If  they are a teen now and they are spoiled.  They will have to learn  that  they can't get every thing they want!!  Let them get mad, they will  get over it and will understand why they could not get it. one day.

 
I'm confused here.  Who is the child and who is the parent?  Children have to learn that everything is not handed to them in life, nor should it be, they also should learn disappointment because it prepares them for life in the real world.  I think every parent should only look at themselves to blame when they end up with a spoiled child or if it was the grandparents doing the spoiling, where were they while it was going on. Yes, children should get  a little more than we did, but in the long run when they are out in this world on their own , they need to know how to  depend on themselves and not others.  It will also build character and a desire to succeed in life.
