Were you spoiled as a child? If you are a child... are you spoiled?

If I wanted something when I was a kid, there were 3 responses:

1. Go make some money
2. Wait until Christmas
3. No, those magazines are for grown-ups

I was spoiled with love and all that junk, but when it came to toys or games.. no way. I had to wait till I was out of the house to buy my first console; ps1 because they didn't want me playing video games that badly.

OH THE IRONY

I'm addicted to gaming now because I was so deprived as a child:lol:

I am what I am. In the end that is all any of us can be.

Nope. I've always been considerate about my family's finances and almost never asked my parents to buy me anything (after the age of 6, anyway).

I had to pay for luxury items like games, DVDs and CDs myself. Over the course of three years I have bought myself; a xbox 360 and 8 or 9 360 games, my PC which cost in total with monitor and peripherals about £750 (Bought a crappy £300 Acer thing and upgraded and bought a £225 monitor) and about 25 games for it and most recently I spent £450 on a new 32" HDTV and surround sound system.

All with money from a paper round I've had for the past three years as I don't have the time for a proper job and doing a paper round is only like an hour and a half seven days out of a fortnight for £40 a fortnight.

Not really. I did receive 300 dollars for my birth once, but my mom went in my drawer and took it back. Diablo112688

Yes and no.

I don't ever get things just because I ask.

But if I have great grades, and I've been helping around a lot, I can usually get stuff. Also, my parents usually pay for things like my lunch, fines, and other stuff. Only because I don't have a job, nor a way to get to one.

Also they are paying for my graduation fees and possibly a trip to Japan.

But again, I do what I'm told. I don't talk back, nor do I ever defy them really.

[QUOTE="Cherokee_Jack"][QUOTE="danwallacefan"] when I was a child? definitely. right now? probably. My parents own a huge-ass house, I get books for free, and they send me to private schools. but its a good thing I try to be as froogle as possible (that's more than I can say about my siblings)danwallacefan

Yes he's sure.

Yes, but not a brat.pugsy44

Nah. We were pretty poor for most of my childhood, so I didn't get anything I wanted unless it was for a birthday/Christmas. And even then, I'd get "Well it's kind of like what you wanted."

Yes he's sure.

Are you sure of his assurance?

I've always been pretty poor, but my mum always had presents under the tree, and clothes on my back, a place to sleep and food to eat.

Considering she's always put mine and my sisters wants over her own I'd say we were spoiled.

But I'm thankful for it.
