Is anyone here into psychology? I can’t make my mind up on this one. Both my girls - now grown with kids of their own were loved and spoilt with time and to a certain extent material things - both me and their dad worked our arses off to make sure we gave them everything they needed - Probably too much - but after loosing one you tend to overcompensate I think. They both now joke about how spoilt they were
having said that we had none negotiable rules - manners, respect, and kindness being the main things and We always followed through with consequences. My kids raise our littles the same way and will often ask for our opinion in their parenting. I can now admit me and their dad went overboard with holidays, Christmas, birthdays etc and we help them still wherever we can. House deposits and renovations, and we take them all on holiday every other year. So yep - spoilt kids! I can however put my hand on my heart and swear neither of them are entitled, rude, greedy, narcissists. I’ve said before I’m from Yorkshire and it won’t wash here! They are and always have been appreciative of everything we give them but have always known it’s been down to hard work. My kids have always been princesses to my fella. He will do anything for them so I don’t see how Olga being a pampered princess would make her what she is today? Are narcs like Olga born or reared
