Is it possible for very wealthy children to not be spoiled?
I guess it’s impossible for them not to “get spoiled”But it depends what would you see as “spoiled”.Is a kid spoiled if you buy only healthy food? Soon they will demand fruits and vegetables. Things that a poor family could not afford.Is a kid spoiled if you let them fly with your private plane because it’s cheaper than buying a ticket? Well, kinda. You will not cancel your vacation due to the price because you can afford it.Is a kid spoiled if you let them drive your nice fancy car? Yeah, because it’s something that it wouldn’t be able to do in case you wouldn’t own this car.Is a kid spoiled because you can pay the tution-fees of harvard because it didn’t get the scholarship? Yeah. You will not let the tution decide the outcome of the university.So you might think : Well, these are just benefits that wealthy children have. But I tell you: These kids will demand/expect that you pay for the tution/vacation (if you loan them enough money its basically the same). Because you can afford it.But every parent would do it. Why not, right? You want your children to turn out as good as possible. With wealth there are benefits. Benefits that other kids will not have.As long as they respect the value of the money I don’t see a problem in spoiling children.If you think that your kid is not spoiled say: “We can’t afford it right now” and see how they react. Probably they will not believe you or pay it out of their own pocket. Because they don’t understand the concept of “not beeing able to afford something usefull”There is a difference between the “spoiledness” of a kid of William Gates, a prince of arabia and a lower income class. The prince that always got everything will be the spoiled kid. But the kid from William will have difficulty living on $500 per month. High-Quality food is expensive. Only the kid that learned their whole life that something can’t be bought even though it makes sense will be fine.Just my two cents.
My 14 year old daughter wants to go into foster care?
I have a 14 yo daughter that keeps saying she wants to go into foster care, and that foster care would be better than 'this'. I'm not sure what she means by 'this'. In the last couple years a lot of things have changed... mostly money wise. I lost my job which paid decent money, and struggled to find a new one. I used to be able to buy her some name brand clothing although that is not where I shopped exclusively for her. I also shopped at target and kohls for things for her. That is no longer possible. I used to be able to pay for any extra curricular she was interested in, I used to have money for her to do anything she wanted with her friends. That is no longer possible. I am by no means neglecting her though! She has plenty of clothing, there is always food in the frig/pantry, I have been able to keep the house, although I have had to drop the cell phone plans and cable TV to be able to keep up the payments. She has everything she *needs*, I just can't buy her everything she wants lately. I also certainly don't abuse her! I have *never* hit her or said anything I regret saying and that I feel would hurt her self esteem. I try to keep my worry and anxiety over finances to myself. In the past when I have had boyfriends, I have waited more than 6 months into the relationship to introduce them to her, so it's not like there is or ever has been a revolving door of 'uncles' for her. Further more, unlike quite a few of the parents with teens that I know, I make sure we eat dinner together at the table, and I *try* to talk to her about her day.. not like I get a response of more than a word or two though. I don't let her run wild. I know who her friends are and where she is going and what she does online etc. So I really don't understand why she wants to go into foster care! How can I set her straight that foster care isn't for her? Honestly, a part of me wants to PUT HER THERE just to give her a wake up call / attitude adjustment. I honestly didn't think I raised a spoilt brat, but it is starting to look like I did after all.
How do rich people prevent their kids from being spoiled or arrogant?
“Never tell children that their parents are wealthy !! Never !!”No matter how wealthy you are, teach your children frugality.Don’t abuse your belongings. Children learn by examples so set the right examples.Teach your children to achieve not consume. Earning to enhance spending should not be one’s ultimate goalMake sure that your children won’t realize you are affluent until after they have established a mature, disciplined and adult lifestyle and professionMinimize discussions of the items that each child and grandchild will inherit or receive as giftsNever give cash or other significant gifts to your adult children as a part of a negotiation strategyTeach them to strive to be the best in their field and not chase money. If they are the best in the field money will find themTell your children that there are a lot of things more valuable than money – Respect, integrity, honesty. The one’s who achieve do so by experiencing and conquering obstacles right from childhood days. They are the ones who were never denied their right to face some struggle, some adversityDo not shelter your children from every conceivable germ in the society..never inoculate them from fear, worry. (But this does not mean that you be that germ or you purposely create tough situations unnecessarily. You will only lose their respect by doing this.)While all the above what I learned from the book The Millionaire Next Door by Thomas Stanley, I have thankfully been poor for the most part of my life and value all the above and I take care my son understands this. Only now have I some money that I cant call myself poor. I also thankfully cant call myself rich.I would like to stay here i.e. somewhere in between dirt poor and filthy rich !!
