WebMD, a well-known American corporation that publishes news and information about human health, reported that Daniel James Kindlon, author ofToo Much of a Good Thing: Raising Children of Character in an Indulgent Age, interviewed more than 1,000 parents and discovered that 60% of them thought their kids were spoiled!
Now, every parent out there only wants the best for their child and will go to great lengths to achieve it. However, you know how they say that love can make you blind? Well, it applies to our little ones too.
There’s a gazillion and one reasons why spoiling can happen: perhaps it’s cultural factors; guilt; social pressure, like trendy clothes and fancy new tech gadgets; an inability to set boundaries; or maybe that’s just how you show love and affection – whatever it is, it’s important to find a golden medium.

The thing is, it was the author’s daughter’s 1st birthday party. Everything was planned carefully and included a bunch of activities for the children, yet, as you might’ve already guessed, the OP’s nephew didn’t find anything appealing.
In fact, he literally ruined the gathering with his antics, so when the Redditor finally gave her sister a much-needed reality check, instead of taking things into consideration, the woman cussed her sibling out and stormed out crying.
What do you reckon?
