Big.no, it's alright from time to time give the kids a treat. But there must be a limit.

Ask your kid why does.he need latest iPhone for? To play games? A budget or mid range smart phone will do. To show off? Time to give them a lecture on how.lucky they are & that plenty of less fortunate people can't even feed their family because can't find jobs.

If you give them all the latest high end toys/gadgets without them even making a effort. You are.not.only spoiling them but ruining their adult life.

How are they going survice on a entry level job with average pay when they are so used to the high life?

Just last week got a ktard post in serious kopitiam where 22 year old girl earn 10k working for syndicate. Then try to find legit.job not happy with the salary cause can't meet her monthly commitments. Sure after a while she go back work for the syndicate because addicted to highend lifestyle.

Teach your kid to be grateful & live a moderate lifestyle.even when make it big. Otherwise will become like jamban, never safe money. Spend like there's no tomorrow, now can't even pay Teresa her dues & hide from bailiff plus is a nobody now. Somemore got young kid.

lol i like how at the end the post become about jamban..

yeah.. totally agree about not spoiling the kid.
glad to see im not the only one thinking so

i duno la, why she thinks that way. i told her , she must not spoil her kid yada yada.
then she told me, she cannot let her kid suffer.... chi kui. u know mandarin? it means rugi.

im like, wtf the kid rugi, just because she didnt get iphone she considered rugi? like that so many other kids also rugi ah? i said last time even when i wanted football shoes also mom didnt buy adidas one for me, bcoz she said normal brand is enough . which i agree.... then she said, times have changed. now many kids got iphone, no iphone then the kid will feel left out. i duno what to say anymore.

u r right, what does a kid need iphone 17 for? i rmbr last time to get video games console also we needed to make sure our grades were good. if grades no good, terus locked up liao the games. this kid doesnt even get good grades.
if u tell me she is good student  etc yada yada then of course no problem, u earned it, but if u r doing ntg great then the iphone 17 is just going to be an added distraction

Ah, the good old.days where we either study hard or help out with the chores & during birthday get game console considered a big thing. Now kids want i phone pulak,yeesh

I guarantee u bro when the girl reaches late teens the mother that time will no longer say poor daughter suffer but will be cursing her for being charsiew.

My old neighbourhood divorcee the eldest daughter after finish school never further studies or get a job. Whole.day main muzik watch movies & hanging out with the other dropouts. Mother scream at her to get a job & even father also tell her to.

Problem is she is spoiled she wear expensive shoes cost rm1000. Mid 90's entry pay is 1200 i think. At home got maid so where she can tahan 9-5job or get married become housewife. She got horrible attitude also.
