I appologize for misunderstanding the word ‘spoil’ in a thread about why people have unrealistic expecatations of wealth and happyness. Your children aside, I still feel my comment stands. We have a nasty habit of lavashing everything we can on our children, and then wondering why they expect everything of the rest of the world.
It seems you are doing well by your children, avoiding the much more common definition of ‘spoiling without hesitation’.
