Spoiling children

Online, if true, there are too many examples to mention.

This often leads to estrangement.
It did[well partial at least] in the above situation.

It’s subjective though, our GC would be considered spoilt by some because they have lovely holidays, nice clothes, eat out often etc.
They are however disciplined well, they are polite and not in the slightest arrogant.

I think you need to give some examples, fancy. It’s such a sweeping statement and my idea of spoiling, may well differ from others.

I meant spoilt as in the parents overindulge them.
Often when young as well.

There are degrees I suppose.

In the examples I can think if, lots of bits[or more] of money are given.

And "isnt my child wonderful", sometimes while almost ignoring the other child, type thing.

Maybe the subject is going to be too hard to chat about.

I agree that it depends how you define spoiling.
Money/gifts?
Time spent with them?
Allowing a child to behave differently at granny's house than they do at home?

I think nice holidays and clothes is not spoiling children. If that is your lifestyle anyway you are hardly likely to treat them like paupers and yourselves differently.

But children demanding stuff and tantrums and sulks if not given what they demand is. Bad behaviour not being "punished" is. OP I think you need to give some examples of what you consider spoiling.
