[QUOTE="AppleCori, post: 648514, member: 16024"] I don't know if your [I]kids are spoiled or not, but you can probably judge whether or not they are pretty easily. Do they expect to get whatever they want, right now? Are they okay with it when they are told 'no' or 'maybe next time' or 'you can get that on your next birthday' Or do they throw a fit to have their way if told no or not now. Are they thankful and gracious when they do get what they desire? It is not always about what is provided for them, but their attitude about it. I do have to say that I felt a bit unsettled when you wrote that all they have to do is say 'I want' and it magically appears. Your kids need to understand the value of a dollar and they need to develop an ability to delay gratification. This is the number one predictor of future success as an adult. It is not so much about the label 'spoiled' as it is that they develop the necessary tools to be successful adults no matter what their disabilities. [/I] [/QUOTE]
