Microtheme -- Spoiled Kids

 Spoiled Kids

            I have met many people in my life that were spoiled and got everything they wanted. Even throughout high school they got whatever they wanted, like their own car, expensive clothing, etc. Is spoiling your kids at a young age setting them up for failure in the future?

            Spoiling your kids at a young age and getting them whatever they ask for makes them think their life will always be that easy. Getting money and not having to work for it is something many spoiled kids I know are accustomed to. Not having to work for anything in your life may seem fine at the time but you will be in for a rude awakening in/after college. When your parents aren’t around to give you money all the time and buy everything you need, you will realize how hard life is.

Not having a job earlier in your life during the time you were spoiled can result in a lack of  job experience in which others who weren’t spoiled have a step up on you because they have been working for themselves, making you a less likely candidate for a job.

The term “spoiled brat” did not appear out of thin air and is probably a term because most spoiled kids are “brats”. When a spoiled kid finally doesn’t get what they want in the real world they will become very upset because they are not used to it. Nobody likes a spoiled brat.

Understanding that spoiling your kids at a young age will set them up for future failure by having the real world eventually crush them is something to think about when they ask you to buy them something expensive.
