We have this obsessive need to make sure our kids have everything. And so they end up overindulged (and overstimulated). <BR/><BR/>And I get so sick of hearing people complain about money when they have plenty of nice, new things. I just had yet another talk with a friend who spends plenty on alcohol and cigarettes and around $1200 a year on his computer upgrades. But they have several thousand dollars of credit card debt. It gets real old, real fast.Abigailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12043674506776005070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3851322133816062332.post-81698520625975378252008-09-05T03:07:00.000-07:002008-09-05T03:07:00.000-07:00Great post!This sense of entitlement thing has rea...Great post!<BR/><BR/>This sense of entitlement thing has really become common place. I think the real root of it is when children are little and parents overindulge.<BR/><BR/>My children and I can spend a half hour cleaning the house together. There are many lessons taught. I think it is a mistake to not show your kids that life involves hard work.<BR/><BR/>Another thing that bugs me is hearing people complain that they don't have money when they have no problem spending the money they have on luxuries.<BR/><BR/>Alright I'll stop there.<BR/><BR/>KristieMy name is Kristiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00833883724931059171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3851322133816062332.post-42403078321968403782008-09-03T13:05:00.000-07:002008-09-03T13:05:00.000-07:00Loved the post.
