It is really hard though because he gets SUPER spoiled at his dad's house, then comes home and if we try to be strict at all, he throws fits. *sigh* Also, since I started staying home, he gets spoiled more. We try to keep our rules and everything in place, but I have noticed some "spoiled behavior" lately. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-spoiled#post-25414 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 13:32:11 +0000 Rescuemom10 25414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My sweet SD is fairly spoilled. Its hard NOT to at times especially seeing as we dont have her all the time. But we try our best to make her appreciate what she has. For examply. She is old enough (8) to clean her room and be responsible for her thing and have shores. So she is responsible for making her bed and keeping her room clean and what not. if she leaves and her room a mess, we collect all the things she did not put away or left on the floor. The toys she leaves out we collect up and take out of her room. She can not have them back unless she does a chore and earns them back. Its our way of reminding her to appreaciate her things and take care of them.<br /> One time in a store we bought her a TON of things. We were back home where I grew up and at my parents house. Were buying a BUNCH of things to keep at Grandma's and Grandpa's house toys and what not. On the way out started complaining because she saw some silly cheap toy and wanted it and we said NO. One, we had already checked out, TWO---ummm NO we had bought a TON of stuff already. So we were walking out and she started pouting and rolling up into a tantrum about not getting the stupid $3 toy or whatever it was. We STOPPED walking and I looked at her and said "Lets go!" puzzled she asked where, and I told her back in the store to return everything we just bought. She was 6 at the time. She looked horrified and the whining and tantrum over the toy stopped. We told her that if she did not appreciate the bags full of stuff we DID just buy, then she didnt need them and that she was being very rude and not appreciative of what she was getting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-spoiled#post-24177 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 09:36:12 +0000 Mrs. Marbles 24177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LM is too young to be spoiled, but I can already tell that she will be since she is the first grandchild in both families. She already knows how to manipulate my mother! At our house we hardly ever pick her up, but at my mother's she raises her arms to be picked up every time my mother passes by and LM knows it will work because my mother can't resist her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-spoiled#post-24160 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 08:20:42 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 24160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my husband spoils my son more than i do and it's starting to show. We've had a conversation about it and really need to start being a little more strict. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-spoiled#post-24159 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 08:20:34 +0000 Rubies 24159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think that my LO might be spoiled when she's a little older (she's only 4 months right now). She's the ONLY grandchild on both sides of the family and unless another kid shows up soon, we're doomed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-spoiled#post-24152 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 08:11:10 +0000 heffalump 24152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's not old enough to be spoiled yet.</p> <p>We can't afford to spoil her with things so I'm not really worried about that. I was spoiled growing up and my hubby wasn't, so I'll be looking to him for how to not spoil our baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-spoiled#post-24147 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 07:57:56 +0000 Andrea 24147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sure she is because we only have her and who else are we going to pay attention to? So I think she is spoiled in terms of attention but not in terms of material things. She's been going to day care from 6 months so I hope that has helped in that she can't always be the center of attention there at least and she is there full time all week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-spoiled#post-24106 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 23:40:12 +0000 ecogirl 24106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try really hard not to spoil Liam. It's tough because we are surrounded by a lot of wealth and material things. It's hard to tell him no you can't have a certain toy (he has a ton of toys) when his little friends are tripping over new toys every day. I'm also trying to teach him sharing and that mommy can't stop speaking to someone else just because he is screaming my name. I have a new baby on the way and he needs to get these lessons down now before it creates a real meltdown haha. </p> <p>My husband is gone often for work (about two weeks every month) so he comes home and wants to spoil him with 'things' but I put a stop to that pretty early. Children may want stuff for a little while but what they really crave is time and attention so now he makes sure to spend lots of time doing fun things with him when he's home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-spoiled#post-24099 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 23:26:51 +0000 mrbee 24099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sad to say that Charlie is definitely getting spoiled lately. He's been sick a lot and I am just so much less strict with him when he's not feeling well. Also we've held off on starting timeouts because just when he got better, Mrs. Bee and I both got sick. :-(</p> <p>I gotta get over this sick thing though, because he's showing signs of being spoiled and I really don't like that.</p> <p>Is your LO spoiled? What sort of things have you been doing to manage your LO's behavior? </p>
