I hate spoiled brats!

I can tolerate spoiled kids because I truly believe that adults are more at fault in letting them be spoiled. Of course a kid will grow up as a spoiled adult if this attitude is not checked. And I can't tolerate adults who believe that their God's gift to the world and the world has to owe them something for that. My only dilemma is I know that being spoiled is a vicious cycle. You grow up to be one and you end up believing that it's okay to rear one. I don't have kids right now, but if ever I'm blessed with one I will really try to teach him/her confidence and compassion. I also believe that brats are brats because nobody keeps tabs on their attitude. Sometimes parents are too busy to notice or too confused to act. Maybe a little heads up will guide them? Love can be a little blinding for some. Always starting in a friendly manner should do it. Nothing hostile or anything, just thought you would want to know, that sort of approach. Now if the parent gets defensive and gets nasty, it's not worth your effort and heartache.

I have to say. I have a few friends who are adult-versions of this, and it's extremely scary. I wouldn't blame you for not wanting your kids to hang around them (who knows, it might be contagious). I think we must have had a similar up-bringing. We weren't dirt poor, but we definitely did not get everything we wanted as kids (me and my sister) and I really don't mind that (although I might have at the time, I can't quite remember). I just know that I feel bad for people, especially people who grew up that way, who are spoiled. They are 110% dependant and it says something about your work ethic (or lack thereof) if you've never had to work for anything in your life. lol. Just saying.. Anyway I am typically not around kids as it goes, unless it's a friends' kid or a distant relative or something, in which case, I'm also never babysitting so I actually never have to deal with this. lol. lucky me.

You don't like me anymore?! I was and still am a spoiled brat. Well more spoiled princess than brat. In time I Did get Everything I wanted. True some things I had to wait for but that just made it more special! But I never flaunted what I got or made anyone feel bad because I got this and they had that. But I was daddy's little girl. My dad would have given me the moon if I asked for it. I lost him when I was 12 but I still consider myself a spoiled princess. Now I know our friendship is over , right?

I know what you mean. If it's one thing I can't stand, it's unruly children. I have some friends who have three children. The oldest one is 8 yrs going on 9, the second child is 6 1/2 yrs and the baby is a little over a year. The 6 1/2 year old is a perfect angel. When she comes to my house, she sits on the sofa next to her mother and doesn't move from there until her mother gets ready to leave. The 8 year old and the 1 yr old come over and they touch things on my nick nack table. The one year old picked up a large figurine from the nick nack table and drops it on the floor. All his grandmother and mother did was smile and say, "That's alright, sweetheart. At least you didn't break it." Not only did he get into things, but his mother and grandmother let him wander all over my house. They weren't watching him. When they finally noticed he was gone from the room, they asked me where he was. I told them, "he just went into my kitchen." To make matters worse, the child was barefooted. The mother doesn't put shoes on him yet, because she says he prefers to go without shoes and socks. That's just crazy. The child has no clue about what is best for him. I don't thing his mother or father have any more common sense in their head than that child.

I don't mind as much their material possesions as I do their attitudes. If the child is well behaved then it really does make a difference. I think that we all want to give our children the things we didn't have when we were little but I think that not teaching manners and good behavior is the thing that burns me up. My children are older and it didn't really matter to me what other children had..it was the way they treated people that burnt me a new one. If they were disrespectful..i didn't want to be around them. My friend has a couple of girls that she spoiled rotten in every form imaginable but the truth is that she is really paying for it now.

i can't stand spoiled brats either.but i don't stay away from them.the more that i would stick to them because i want to help them see and realize what a real world is.other parents thought they're helping their children by giving them anything they want.unfortunately, they're not. i have some friends who are like this and they grew up to be iresponsible, they only care for themselves and ended up with a broken family. we parents, tend to be protective but we must also help our children feel what is reality. that we have tobe challenged and learn to solve those challenges. and if we love our children let us not make them brats. yes i let my children play with them although it sometimes changes my children's view on somethings. i explain it to my children and they have to understand.well, i'm proud of my children that they understands these things. they learn to be patient, forgiving and understanding.

I know how you feel, my mum as the habit of turning my children into them as she just buys them everything they want and after visiting her they come back very moody. They're very good kids deep down but it's the people who don't explain to them very well, I know for sure there's worse people than my mum for this. I know someone a few doors down from me who gets their children to act like posh and allow them to brag about what toys they have etc. The family wonder why they get burgled a lot. It bothers me, as I would prefer my kids especially to be respectful and thankfully most of the time they are. I just really dislike the parents who allow their kids to grow up thinking everything falls at their feet, it's about winning and if you want something you can just take it.

me too. today kids are awfully spoiled. i taught kids art and many of them don't want to do any set and clean up things. i still made them do it. some parents don't like that part, they think their kids are genius artists just come here to draw and paint. come on, give me a break! i don't like to be too harsh to kids and due to my experience i am sensitive about child abuse issue. but the kids are just way to over protected here in america. terrible!

I don't know if you will hate me but I'm not sure If I'm spoiled brat but my sister tells that I am but it's complicated since our age gap is 10 years and to be honest,It's my mom giving anything but I don't ask for it and I want to have my own and don't want to depend with my parents.I also wanna know what's your definition in spoiled brats but I'm sure I'm not.My nephew is spoiled brat and it's pain in the head for sure.He wants to have everything he wants and it's really in my nerves.I don't know if thats normal for a 6 years old kid but his the only son of my sister.

It seems the poor brats are not guilty of their being spoiled!Maybe they will learn somrthing by being in your house playing with your son. And whe he is at your house, just tell him that in your home, rules are such and such. If he does not accept him, he can go. Your son has to learn to relate to different people . Don´t overprotect him because you had problems when you were small. Some children are full of material things yet they don´t have as much love and caring from their parents. I´d have the brad come over to my house first, to see how he behaves at my house. Then, if needed, I´d invite th brat´s mom for a coffee and talk things over with her. People need each other. It´s only that sometimes they keep repeating the patterns they were taught.

I don't have a problem with the children that are spoiled because it isn't their fault that they are the way that they are. However, I do tend to have a problem with the parents of these children because I feel like they don't really have control over their children. I will let my children play with children that are spoiled. However, I will removed them from the situation when the children get to be too much for either my nerves or for my children.

A spoiled brat can be hard to take. You wonder what goes through a child's mind when they are behaving this way. How much responsibility does a parent have to take on themselves when their child is called a spoiled brat?

Firstly there is no need for dis-liking spoiled brats. As in my opinion they are complete utter nuance. I cannot stand them either, I mean really how are they going to function in life when they just simply can't get their own way in society. I know several and let's just say not directly acquainted with them, I see them in action from afar.

i really hate spoiled brats..they get what they want..even doing bad things just to get what they want..i remember i have been introduced to an spoiled brat and cals him BRATINELa!that girl was really a brat and uses everybody just to get what she wats

hi bounce yes me too they drive me nuts, I am elderly and widowed'buut I have seen the species in the stores having a melt down until mom buys them the toy or the candy or whatever else their greedy l ittle hearts desire. and mom to shut the kid up generally buys the kids what they want too. those kids know just how to push the buttons. My only kid is now 51 a nd he too does not like spoiled brats either.

It bothers me, but I don't keep my kids away from their friends because of that. I trust that their values that they get from me will keep them from becoming little monsters by association.

normally i dont like them but i also have to deal with them esp my dad. he is a spoiled rat. he easily gets tantrum when his desires arent given. but i just follow mom, i dont give so much attention for that. we use positive reward and negative/punishment and any form for undesired behavior.

I also try to stay away from them, but there are so many spoiled brats that makes me hard to stay away from them. Have you seen my sweet 16, the telivison show? Oh my god, this show is full of spoiled brats and i cannot stand to see this show. They do not know how hard it is to earn money and lots of children are dying because of hunger while they buy expensive brand clothes! Thought of this makes me really angry!

this may b true but this is only coz these days people have less kids and they try to fulfill their dreams with all tehy can and stuff there is also a saying if u have what it takes to b a parant pampar ur child but taht is only a ssaying nothing can b relate to taht
