[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not all about "things."  We have the money to buy things so we buy nice things.  Therefore, the kids' (teens) things are all nice:  Ugg, Northface, Starbucks, Tiffany, etc, nice vacations, nice cars, all Apple everything etc, etc.   If the kids are nice and compassionate and thankful, then having all nice things does not make them entitled.  I think it may mean just that their parents have plenty of money.  [/quote]

If you are this focused on labels and brand names, then I guarantee you your kids are "entitled." It has less to do with what you're giving them, than what you're teaching them.[/quote]
Not really.  There's no "focus" on these things and we're not "teaching" them anything except maybe choose quality over crap.  DH and I grew up with crappy things and we don't want crappy things now.  And, btw, you can't "guarantee" anything.  [/quote]

By buying your children jewelry from Tiffany, you are not teaching them to "choose quality over crap". You are teaching them to choose a recognizable logo and name brand that is not worth the money you pay for it. I feel for the man who one day has to buy and engagement ring for your DD.

You are right, nothing is a guarantee. But, I am still willing to bet that your children are bratty. [/quote]
