[quote=Anonymous]No, definitely not. However, I think it is important to make sure that, now that I have money, I don't go to far the other way. I feel it is a mistake to want to give DC everything "I didn't have when I was a kid," etc. I rein in DH who grew up wealthier than we are now and tends to spoil our kids. He was spoiled as a kid and it's a miracle he turned out as well as he did. His sisters did NOT escape their pampered upbringing so well -- they are both in their late 30's and still on the parental dole. Shameful. I think it has partially to do with the fact that while I grew up poor, I also grew up in a happy family so I don't have this "spending money can show my kids I love them" hangup many formerly poor people seem to have.
