Is it wrong to spoil your kids?

I am also a first time mother. My son is 2 and half yr old and he is pampered too like you both said. I see to that all his needs are fulfilled and he is perfectly happy and comfortable. But, I try to make him understand when something is wrong and that he should not do it. There is no such thing as spoiling with love. When you love your child unconditionally, it is not spoiling but it will help him to be a loving person when he is grownup. He will know what love is unlike those children who are deprived of love. When you can, you should. That's my thinking. There are so many children not getting love from their parents. All parents should undertsand this. I feel that love is what you can never buy with money. God bless all children.

My first child is almost 9 months old and I spoil her rotten! I swore since she was born (and before) that I would make her appreciate the value of things by working for what she wants, either by helping about the house or by performing well at school or something. I would give her the whole world provided she knew what it took to acheive. I'll be very dissapointed in myself if she turns into a spoilt brat.
