I'd heard about this girl, the show & that bratty, self entitled attitude. It's not surprising,, yet at the same time it's extremely sad.
We, as parents, want the best for our kids. We try & raise them with love & all, and when a person has money,, they want to give the kids the things that make the kids happy.
We are ALL guilty of that to some extent.
But the real problem is that along with that love & giving,, we have to instill respect, a work ethic, responsibility for oneself, discipline, & all the other things that make a person grow into a responsible adult.
Sadly,, too many people fail at this.
Part of the blame is the push from decades ago, about NOT using serious forms of discipline, (such as spanking) to correct bad behavior. We have parents now, who were raised on the "feel good" method of parenting. And their offspring, (such as this brat,) are even worse.
You have to PARENT,, and that requires making decisions that teach a child to be a good adult. Telling a young child "no" and applying real parenting skills, is not always easy,,, nor does it make a child happy.
But when you do it,, and get it right,, many kids grow into good responsible adults. (Take out the mentally defective individuals who actually do have mental disorders, for they can't help it.)
But, letting any kid get as far out of control points to wrong parenting skills, and todays society has allowed a lot of this to happen.
You can't spank a kid in public anymore,, and the kids know it. Schools can't spank anymore. As such, the reality of "NO" or "Don't do that" or "You can't have that," has been replaced by feel good methods.
This girl above is a perfect example of an entitled brat,, who was just plain raised wrongly. And now,, when mom wants to reduce her allowance,, (trying to finally parent,) it's pretty much too late.
And this brat,, as she gets a little older,, she will either find herself out on her butt,,,, or momma will continue to pay her bills. At least until brat marryies a poor soul who thinks he wants this female as his wife. Heck, even thin,, momma may still have to foot some bills.
I wonder what daddy has to say,, if he's even in the picture.
In our family,, Miss Penny has a sister,, who is married,, and her hubby works as a Corrections Officer. Heck of a good guy. They have both worked, and been successful in having a good living. Not rich person extravagant, but good.
They have a single child, a daughter.
The daughter is very similar to that brat above in some ways.
While our niece works,, and is married,, with 3 kids,, she demands that her momma do a lot of things for her. Daddy is the one who spoiled her by not being strong & applying proper respect & discipline. Momma got tired of being in the middle & gave in. And about 5 years ago,, spoiled daughter & hubby wanted to buy a house. They did,, with financial help from her parents. More house than necessary. And then she wanted to remodel a lot of it. Yep,, with financial help from parents. Then to offset the expenses,, her parents remodeled the house,, to allow them to move in the downstairs area,, and sold their home. Now,, due to medical reasons,, momma doesn't work at a job,, but she is a full time grandma/momma. She babysits while daughter sleeps, or stays in her room. She cooks, cleans, does laundry, etc,, a lot for them. She loves her grandbabies,, but doesn't have any life away from them much.
In the last year or so,, they decided they needed to get a home of their own again, but they "worried" about the financial strain on daughter. (They have been helping pay a lot of the bills.) They have discovered that daughter & hubby have money in the bank,, and are doing well enough to pay their own way. So, they have bought land, and are having a mobile home built for them to put on it. Momma can't wait to get back into a home of her own. Going from a nice place of about 15 acres,, and a 3 bedroom ranch brick home,, to a 2 acre lot & a mobile home shows how much they have spent to keep up their daughter. Daddy was the one who allowed all this to happen by NOT refusing their daughter "things."
Luckily,, daughter has a hard working guy who has assured them they "are fine & will be ok" once they move out.
But I'll bet daughter will still find a way to get as much out of her parents as she can. She has that whole "ENTITLED" attitude.
Yep,, there are many brats out there.
