[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.  [b]Therefore, the kids' (teens) things are all nice:  Ugg, Northface, Starbucks, Tiffany, etc, nice vacations, nice cars, all Apple everything etc, etc.[/b]   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]

I guarantee your kids are probably bratty if they have all of those things all the time. Having all nice things ALL the time does make someone entitled. I know many parents with "plenty of money" (probably more than you have) who  do not give their children all of those things. [/quote]

I have to agree.  My kids get nice vacation only bc we take nice vacations as a family.  All the other stuff they get only as special treats (XMas/Birthday) or bc they earned it in some other way.  BTW, I have an anquaintance who has a 12 yo with a few pairs of Uggs.  One day I was at their house (bday party) and my 2 yo stepped on one that was by the front.  The girl got down to eye level with my child and yelled "I know you are not stepping on my Uggs!"  I was speechless - that is entitled.[/quote]

I think you need to look up the definition of entitled. The girl you describe has no manners and is rude. Totally independent of the fact that the shoes were Uggs. She could still be entitled, but you gave a poor example.[/quote]
