People are just looking for things to say. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-lo-is-so-spoiled#post-795724 Mon, 20 May 2013 13:37:00 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 795724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think a spoiled baby is a well loved baby. Keep on showwing with affection &amp; stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-lo-is-so-spoiled#post-795645 Mon, 20 May 2013 13:11:49 +0000 mrs. wagon 795645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate that word... because it implies brattiness!</p> <p>My children are very "spoiled" in that they have lots of clothes, toys, and attention from me and Wagon Sr. But we are crazy about discipline and structure so really, they are not "spoiled". </p> <p>In general it's a horrible word because it means that it has gone bad and rotten! </p> <p>Ugh :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-lo-is-so-spoiled#post-795612 Mon, 20 May 2013 12:59:08 +0000 Lindsay05 795612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kml636: exactly!!</p> <p>@TurtleDoves: I guess its all about how you define spoiled but sounds like you were spoiled with love :)</p> <p>@Cchoi4: I agree I do not like spoiled children and I would never raise a child without them knowing the value of things and to be grateful for what they have.</p> <p>@regberadaisy: I would say they werent joking. I mean they laugh about it but I know when they say a child is spoiled they mean like a spoiled brat kind of. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-lo-is-so-spoiled#post-794454 Sun, 19 May 2013 21:32:00 +0000 regberadaisy 794454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Lindsay05: are they being serious or joking?</p> <p>And no, no ones made that comment to our face as least. Everyone knows I'm frugal so she has what she needs and no more, really. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-lo-is-so-spoiled#post-794384 Sun, 19 May 2013 20:14:19 +0000 Cchoi4 794384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Its a poor choice of words they used. that would infuriate me if someone had the audacity to say that about my child. If we are just talking about toys and clothes...come on, the kids are so young they probably don't even know any different.</p> <p>that said, I don't like spoiled children and try my best to be conscientious of not spoiling mine. Spoiled children are pretty awful to be around...(i'm talking about when they get a little older) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-lo-is-so-spoiled#post-794179 Sun, 19 May 2013 16:35:03 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 794179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>And it's not even about buying stuff because my mom was a single mom in my childhood, taking loans out to get her degree.<br /> But yet other kids thought WE were lucky...because "your mom plays outside with you" &amp; "oh wow your mom braided you hair so pretty". And people thought we were spoiled. U mom was on food stamps! But we were VERY loved. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-lo-is-so-spoiled#post-794173 Sun, 19 May 2013 16:29:34 +0000 kml636 794173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That must be so frustrating. If/When I get that, I'm going o answer with "why else would I have a child if not to spoil her?" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-lo-is-so-spoiled#post-794100 Sun, 19 May 2013 14:32:15 +0000 pl0508 794100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Lindsay05: right !!! It's your daughter buy her whatever you want! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-lo-is-so-spoiled#post-794079 Sun, 19 May 2013 14:20:18 +0000 Lindsay05 794079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: thats true, she is 'very loved'!</p> <p>@coacheswife123: absolutely! And so what if I buy my daughter things?! Right?!</p> <p>@shopaholic: I agree! Children deserved to be spoiled!</p> <p>@Crumbs: See that is how I feel. I provide for my child therefore she is spoiled? Ugh.</p> <p>I guess it makes me so upset because they are really cheap. I asked my mom to buy me a bumbo and she saw one at a garage sale for $14 and thought that was too much for something she may not use. I would never ever put a price on my child or grandchild. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-lo-is-so-spoiled#post-794060 Sun, 19 May 2013 13:55:58 +0000 SugarplumsMom 794060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would be pissed if someone said that. I normally let things slide, but if someone called her spoiled, I'd call them out and ask exactly why they think that? It might make me sound up tight, but I'm not having that crap when it comes to my LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-lo-is-so-spoiled#post-794048 Sun, 19 May 2013 13:39:37 +0000 shopaholic 794048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get that all the time. Even before she was born. I usually try not to take offense, because I think they don't mean it in a negative way - but it does rub me wrong when people say that. I think ALL kids are spoiled in SOME way. Be it love, material things, attention, etc. And for the ones not spoiled at all? Well, I feel sad for those little muchkins! All babies deserve to be loved and spoiled. If we don't do it, who else will? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-lo-is-so-spoiled#post-794045 Sun, 19 May 2013 13:38:04 +0000 pl0508 794045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: I agree . I will always try to give him as much as possible and that doesn't always mean "things" ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-lo-is-so-spoiled#post-794014 Sun, 19 May 2013 13:07:24 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 794014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My child is spoiled. I hate that word but Um yeah! He is my only son and I will always try to give him all that I can offer him (emotionally, physically and financially).<br /> Don't let comments bring you down. So, what if they *think* your child is spoiled. I call it "very loved" haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-lo-is-so-spoiled#post-794009 Sun, 19 May 2013 13:03:35 +0000 Lindsay05 794009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does anybody else get this?</p> <p>My mom and stepdad are visiting and almost everytime they are here they comment on how spoiled she is. Well, let me just say that she has WAY less stuff than most babies I know. Most of the toys she has, I bought them because nobody else has bought her any new toys that help her grow. Same with her clothes. I buy her new clothes because she needs clothes to wear. </p> <p>I don't want to sound selfish but I expect some sort of 'spoiledness' when she is the only grandchild for my parents. Argg!! And please dont ever call my child spoiled! </p>
