Having said that, it isn't right to just give children what they ask for. They need to be taught that they have to earn what they get. That is certainly the premise that I used when bringing up my daughter.
Things that come easy are seen to have little value.....but I have no doubt that this maxim has fallen by the wayside as some parents do not give their time......so compensate by giving material things.( please note......I did say SOME PARENTS)
Spot on as per usual. mine also had to earn stuff, but can recall many of their friends didn't, which could cause arguments.
