spoiled

[spr]

I used to get mad because of the favor my brother was shown, but now I don't care. 'Things' don't get us anywhere as far as inner peace, so if others around me do things for the purpose of provoking envy, I just laugh to myself and think, 'what fools, they think all their things will buy them one scrap of happieness, I pity them'.

So, because my parents choose not pay my rent or buy my food they are "lazy ones who only look after themselves?" Because they have instilled in me a work ethic they are lazy?

Some parents can not afford to help out their kids with school and living expenses, my parents are some of those people. But I can guarantee that if they had the money they would help me any way that they could.

Also, some people CHOOSE to move out at 18 or so. They want to get out and start their own lives.

I am not saying that people who have help from the parents are spoiled, I think thats great. But don't call parents who can't afford the cost of living for another person lazy, thats just wrong.

Note: I said parents who stop supporting and force their children out. As in, "once you are 18 get out of my house" parents.

Another note, nowhere did I say support is just money money money. There is that support, which is huge support, and other things like not kicking them out of the house the second they turn 18. There's no possible way to justify that other than the parents wanting their children out of their sight--which tells anyone they aren't too concerned about what their kid decides to do after that. So they go live with a boyfriend or girlfriend, so on and so on with no moral or Christian principles. Parents who can support but refuse to because they want to see if their kid messes up or not are lazy and shouldn't have had kids in the first place with that attitude. Read some of the responses from kids who did get the boot, they are scraping and the parents don't mind, is this what parenting has come down to? Also if your 18 and want to move out than GOOD LUCK, but don't go crawling back then if you mess up.

I was somewhat spoiled, but I think that was because I was the only child and I was adopted because my parents couldn't have kids.

Are you spoiled? Were you as a child? What reasons are/were behind the special treatment? Do you see the deeper reasons behind it? Does it matter to you?

If not, do you ever feel envious of people who have things handed to them?

some old friends i have think i was because i had a huge house,horses,lessons for everything but i worked hard with many chores and i am the oldest of 8..was i spolied? no

yes, I would say so, however I rarely asks for stuff. I mostly got everything I wanted because I asked for very little like to this day I am VERY hard to buy for for Christmas and such.
