[QUOTE="TUT, post: 853842, member: 29298"] Which most of us are. The only way around that is to abuse them in a sense. Where there is running water, they need to pump for it. When there is a TV on, turn it off and give them a paper. Where there is a working toilet, they need to use the out-house. Where they want the new look, you give them a pair of over-all's. Things of that nature. We have to kid ourselves that modern conviences don't exist, to prove some type of old-shool lessons to our children. Does that work with them all? I doubt any one thing works with anyone. In terms of spoiled, if they want material things in life, I make them understand how much they will need to work for it. If you can work for it, then you can be as spoiled as you wanna be. If they are satisfied as 20 somethings what dad can offer, then they have some mighty low expectations! lol So why do you have children? (General to everyone, no need to answer). My answer is only to love them. I don't raise them for the country or the system. That doesn't mean they won't help either, but I had them for my enjoyment and my love, nothing else. Or do you look at it... Well I need 4 children so the pyramid scheme known as an economy will conitnue to grow, so my pension can be paid. My children are for my support later in life. Perhaps some do, perhaps I should. I just never wanted to be that tied into money. [/QUOTE]
