[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s bratty and almost strange that they felt comfortable/empowered enough to do that to an aunt.  Must be you are close?  I can see my tween acting that way for DH and I but never an aunt.  [/quote]

Op here. [b]They come From a working class background and DH and I are more upper middle class[/b], and sometimes I wonder if that’s a factor. They seem to be very much in gimme mode whenever I’m with them, like they are CONSTANTLY trying to get things from me-starbucks, McDonald’s, clothes, etc.

I try to be generous and fair but it’s non stop. I took them to Starbucks yesterday, let them each get whatever they wanted....then today we walked by Starbucks a few times and each time asking to go in. It’s like it’s never enough, they always want more.

I would be effing mortified if my DS4 did this stuff.....[/quote]
That is definitely the main factor. Next time, set limits as a pp mentioned, but it's easy to see how tweens would act in this situation.[/quote]

Op here. So they just assume since we have more money than them that I should buy them whatever, whenever?

Most importantly, how do I prevent my own kids from turning out this way??????[/quote]
