Answer 2

No you are not spoiled, your parents just reward you for all of your good doings!  

Answer 3

Hi there,

Are you by any chance an only child?

You sound a little spoiled but it depends how you act as to whether you're a 'spoiled brat' or not.

Like if you act like a little cretin to you're parents you deserve FA, lol.

Doing the dishes, laundry, etc.. are chores you SHOULD be doing ANYWAY.

And getting B's means you're a decent student. So keep it up.

It sounds like you are spoiled, but not a spoiled Brat, there is a big difference, but make sure you wean yourself from your parents at some point, because its really hard out there on your own if you have been coddled most of your life.

Answer 14

Your parents sound cool!

As long as you're doing something to earn it.

Answer 15

wth?

i dont even get allowence.

you should be grateful!

spoiled.

Answer 16

Yes I think your spoiled.

But I come from a different Family than yours. In my family we do all the things you stated because we have to.Telling our parents we love them comes without expecting anything.

Consider yourself lucky to get what you have.

Answer 17

You sound as though you are well loved but that is not the same as being spoiled.

Children who are well loved are indulged out of love. But they are also equppied with life skills to be able to deal with other people, able to share, learn to accept the NO word when necessary and show respect.

Spoiled children are indulged to keep them quiet, or are not taught manners or respect. They are spoiled because their personalities have been warped into difficult and selfish personalities.

Answer 18

Well you do a lot around the house so I guess you kind of deserve a little extra cash. However $80 is a little much. I wouldn't say you are spoiled though.

=]

Answer 19

it depends....

do you whine and carry on if you don't get the extra money and other things you want? if not, then no

it sounds like you help your parents in the house and respect them, so keep it up and keep them happy, and listen to what they say, and if you do all that then you are Not Spoiled, just lucky to have parents who are able to give you the things you want and in their eyes deserve

Answer 20

the 50 dollars a week is pretty much the only thing i was like, YIKES to. but I'd say that is ok because you don't get tons for shopping

Answer 21

half way spoiled

if i ask for sum tin then they say how much money do u have?

Answer 22

Nah, you're not spoiled. Your parents just love you, that's all. My parents are the same way. You do stuff around the house, so you kinda earn the things you work for.

Answer 23

no your not spoiled . . you do things around the house if you were spoiled you wouldn't no the meaning of cleaning lol

Answer 24

U do deserve some type of allowance for the chores you do in ur parents house and becuz of ur grades! But I would say that ur parents should think about ur future and instead of handing you money they should open a bank account and start putting money away for college!! Even though I'm sure wit ur grades u can get a scholarship but extra money for college never hurts take it 4rm a college student! Telling ur parents I luv u is a way of thanking them 4 everything u are blessed with!  

Answer 25

If you get anything and everything you ask for, that makes you "privileged," but not necessarily "spoiled."  A child is spoiled when his or her parents are so indulgent and capitulating that the child develops character flaws.  Specifically:

1) Arrogance (the kid thinks they're better than others)

2) Entitlement (the kid thinks others "owe them")

3) Egocentrism (the kid is oblivious to the needs of others)

4) Irresponsibility (the kid doesn't hold him or herself accountable)

5) Laziness (the kid is reluctant to work hard)

Most children learn something about being humble, self-sufficient, considerate, responsible, and hard-working by the time they are eight years old.  Having good character is a matter of self-control, awareness of others, and proper training.  However, while an individual's environment is a major factor in how they behave, there will come a time when the person's nature and personal choices matter more.  Free Will trumps any upbringing.

If you have learned how to behave properly, you will spend the rest of your life striving to improve yourself.  That is what a true adult does.  What makes an adult an adult is not his or her age, it is the acceptance of responsibility.  Where a child avoids what he or she doesn't like, an adult does what he or she needs to do.  That is true no matter how unpleasant, unpopular, or unrewarding the task.

In summary, the question of whether or not you're spoiled really comes down to your attitude.  Do you feel your character is flawed?  And if so, what are you doing about it?  If the answer is "Nothing," then it would seem you truly are spoiled.

Answer 26

Sounds as though you are responsible and that your parents are blessed enough that money is no issue.  I would reccommend saving some of that money you get, because it will be a difficult transistion for you when you become independant.  You're not going to want to live off of your parents money for the rest of your life, are you?  :)

Also, take into consideration those around you who have less.  Maybe you can let your friends have some clothes that you don't wear anymore, or even buy them a new outfit.  Show them they don't have to have money to be your friends. :)

Maybe you might even want to think about sponsoring a World Vision child, or something else that would benefit others.  It's just a thought.  But it is important to remember that "stuff" isn't what matters.  People matter.  And when you do something for someone else, without expecting anything back, you'll be surprised how good it feels! :)

Edit - WOW!!!  Khalaq had a great answer!!! :)

Answer 27

No i get the same things so ur not alone :)♥

Answer 28

You get more than most people, but as long as you are doing your part around the house and being a good person, I wouldn't worry about it.

Answer 29

I don't think your spoiled even if you get what you want in the way of money. It seems to me your kind of working for it around the house and we are not talking about big amounts.
