[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you were exceptionally wealthy and your DH was somewhat famous, would you have greater and stricter expectations for your 3 and 4 year olds?  Would you fear the bratty-rich-kid impression?

What about an inately talented child?

Please - no flaming.  [/quote]

We know a family like this. Here’s the thing: it is the nanny’s job to discipline the child and get the kid to behave - the father is traveling most of the time, the mother is traveling a lot, and the child is typically home alone with the nanny and household staff. The nanny knows what the expectations are for th child’s behavior, and who is expected to tech him.

I am amazed to see how well the child behaves, and he is gently corrected and prompted for the correct behavior constantly by the nanny. She is a live-in, so she is around 24-7, with few breaks all year, so is really the constant in the child’s life.

So the child is well mannered and well behaved at 5 (we have known him for 2 years). I don’t know how/if that will change as he gets older and realizes exactly how wealthy he is.[/quote]
