I Dislike Spoiled People
Now don't get me wrong I have a total of six nieces and nephews, four nephews and two nieces. I love them all very much, but their parents are the most clueless bunch of people I have ever met in my life.
One niece is 5 the other 4, and already they have one of the biggest senses of entitlements I have ever met in my life. And their parents aren't helping at all, these two kids get literally piles of presents at christmas and their birthdays, that are actually taller than they are put together.
Espacially the oldest, she is the only person I have ever known who unabashedly went up to her grandfather who had just bought a new farm to retire on and said, "granpa I want a pony." And 4yr old who secretly I don't think is so bad she just is glued to her older cousin and follows her lead. But unfortunately is slowly starting to revert to her ways. She just stands there nodding. I figured grandpa would just smile and nod and maybe a "My Little Pony" figurine would find its way into an easter or birthday present the next holiday round. Wrong!
Then the next thing I know, next time they go up there there's two horses standing in the barn waiting for them. And I was like OMG you have got to be freaking kidding me, this is utterly ridiculous. You don't get this kind of stuff for a 5 year old!!
Case in point, I didn’t receive my first cell phone until my second year of middle school well into my teenage years. And even then it didn’t come with all the bells and whistles it was simply a tool to be used for emergencies like if someone tried to abduct me from the bus stop or something. Or the occasional rare phone call. And now this same 5yr old has a touchscreen in her name! She even has a Facebook account! Who the heck is she going to talk to, Dora the Explorer the only people she knows are her aunts, uncles, some cousins and parents and grandparents. Could somebody please explain the logic of this to me because I get a migraine just thinking about it?!
And if she doesn't get her way or you make her mad in anyway, like her uncle did recently. She'll bust your eardrums wailing and threaten to call the police on you. Yet her folks, chuckle and lightly scold her and don't think more about it. I worry about when she gets older, and now she has a six month old brother. She doesn't take sharing very well either, attention or otherwise.
This is gonna be he)ll for everyone involved, I can feel it in my gut.
