"But do we really mean to spoil our kids?"


  

          

Or are we (me, lol) raising a brat?

The 11 year olds iphone 5 charger died on her yesterday. Her older brother (20) had been sharing her charger until he found his cord. He wasnt at home last night, and her phone was dying. She almost had a fit because her phone was dying and "I need another cord, because I hate sharing a charger!"

I was cool.."look child, you're about to go to bed anyway. When your brother gets home, I'll get the cord from him and charge your phone, ahite?"

Bothered me..not cause of the "when I was your age...blah blah blah", but because my baby girl cant see beyond "I hate sharing cords" to "Oh, okay"

...weigh in...I can take it...
