How do you know when you've spoiled your child?

I have 3 spoiled kids. Which if you ask my granmother-inlaw they're not spoiled. I have always heard that grandparents are suppose to spoil their grand children. My parents don't spoil them, they don't even see them. My grandmother-inlaw is the only one that sees them (which she lives with us)spoils them also. You know when their spoiled when you walk into a store and they start putting stuff they want into the cart, or saying "I want this" then going to something else and saying "I want this too" Age is also a facture in this. Like I have 8 year old that does this. Which is common to a certain point. If you say no and they throw a fit then you have a problem on your hands. I have a problem with spoling my kids, since my parents won't do it I'll do for them. But when it comes down to Christmas and they ask what she'll I get them. You better believe it's not going to be a present better than mine.

spoiling your child is when you give them EVERYTHING that they possibly want out of guilt or whatever issue you have. i was an only child but i wasnt spoiled (although my hubby would disagree with that statement!!) i didnt get everything i wanted, sure i got a lot, but i was an only child (no one else to give presents to at christmas time)but i dont think i was really super spoiled.
