    Are there many people out there who were spoiled as a child; I don't mean Paris Hilton spoiled but spoiled in the sense that you got the best clothes, toys, computer games etc.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,724 ✭✭✭BoozyBabe


    No:- large family, wasn't oldest, wasn't youngest, wasn't only girl so all I got was 'hand me downs'

    Not complaining though

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,561 ✭✭✭Rhyme


    No, middle child... no need for further explanation.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,393 ✭✭✭✭Vegeta


    yes and I am a middle child......for ages i was sure i was adopted cos I got such better treatment.

    I was the only kid of four boys to be breast fed so maybe that has something to do with it. Anyway being spoiled rules

    Nope. I don't think so anyway? Got presents at xmas and bday, 3 square meals and all the schoolbooks i could read.

    In fact I remember one time I'd had managed to save up enough money to buy some Italia 90's stickers at the newsagents. Well despite all the scrimping I only had enough for one pack. Didn't matter cos I was happy just to get em. But before I even had time to open the packet an older boy went up to the counter and bought SIX packs and then proceeded to rub this fact right in my face :(

    I've been an evil bastard ever since.

    id say slightly above average in the spol-o-meter, as in i had a fairly average childhood but lots of cool uncles and aunts etc.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,138 ✭✭✭takola


    yep i was spoilt rotten, only girl with loads of brothers and first granddaughter and neice!! but I've never been a bitch and dont consider myself to be one now! :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,606 ✭✭✭djmarkus


    Im the youngest child by 13 years.. so i'd have to say that im spoilt, and my girlfreind maintains that i am(and most of my other freinds too)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,367 ✭✭✭✭Sleepy


    Definitely not. And very glad of it!

    Though if they'd like to make up for it now wouldn't say no :P


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,598 ✭✭✭ferdi


    no. i could have been but my ould pair were of rigid moral fiber.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,390 ✭✭✭Stench Blossoms


    Yes i was a bit. My sister is spoilt rotten now aswell. It makes me sick.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 185 ✭✭Feenikusu


    Yep, I were and am spoiled. And I'm an only child.
    But I don't care...I don't think that it made me a diva or something like that.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 36,634 ✭✭✭✭Ruu_Old


    I wasnt spoiled, all i heard was "you're not getting that, its too dear" or the dreaded "we cant afford that" shame :( hehe

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,743 ✭✭✭funk-you


    Yeh i was and suppose i still am a bit. I'm the youngest after 10 years( I was my "Daddy's Surprise" as they put it.) but i was spoilt back in the 80's when being spoilt meant getting a fat frog or the odd surprise from 'tommy's wonderland' every now and then or going to Dunnes for a new pair of runners (Super Sizzlers anyone?). I was a teenager in the 90's when the whole 'Celtic Tiger' hit then i was definitely spoilt with my green Air Max and playstations etc...

    Its alright though, I spoil the sh1t out of my nephews now.

    Ah, fat frogs, I remember them... do they still sell them in shops? Oh yeah Fat Frogs sold in bars and clubs are a.o.k too :D

    I was the only child in the family, so yeah, I was a little spoilt, and proud of it! :D

    P.S Bah atleast you have nephews/nieces to spoil, I'll never have one :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,274 ✭✭✭de5p0i1er


    I was never spoiled and it made me a better person to see all the other kids with more then me, otherwise I wouldn't be the evil bastard I am today.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,900 ✭✭✭V9

    yeah, a good bit more spoiled than my older bro.
    guess it's down to being the baby of the family...

    i only managed to gain total independance at the age of 23 (less than a year ago!). i'd grown so used to mooching off my folks that i rarely felt preassured to hold down a job/study my ass off etc.
    as nice as it is to be in total control of your financial situation, i wouldn't say no to someone buying me a car:p
