my paper today says that the rich worry about........

About half of the wealthy business owners fret that their success has spoiled their children... and only 26% expect the next generation to join the family business.

I would think this goes down to the middle class as well for spoiling the kids (me spoiling mine included).

When we were kids we got a semi decent prestent for b-day and a few for x-mas and that was pretty much it for the year.....

Now kids are showered with new shit almost weekly....Even the poorest people we know think their 8 year old kid needs the best clothes, PSP, etc.. People will charge stuff they cannot afford just to spoile their kids.... doh..

 

So true!

PSP? That shit is old as hell. PS3 with 50000GB is the new hotness.

 

[QUOTE=gosixers215,Nov 13 2007, 08:44 AM] PSP?

 

Get them a Wii Scot. Cheaper than the other two systems and they'll get some exercise playing the sports games. That way no one can rail you about fitness or frugality.

 

How about just spoiling the kids with excess amounts of food...oh wait...they're already doing that. I want to start a group called, "Stop over feeding your overweight child."

 

The Solution

 

^^ That was funny. Let's start the shaming.

 

Times they are a changin. That's why I decided to blow my wad on a fancy expensive car. COLLEGE be damned. YOu better get a scholarship kiddos!

j/k.......I'll give my kids whatever they want, as my dad did for me as long as they do well in school.
