I just saw a true surrounded by maybe 100 presents all for an only child with wealthy parents. The mother is frustrated and angry over criticism that she spoils and over indulges her child. I pointed out that a poor child who might get one present is embarrassed to say what he got when the wealthy child is bragging. The mother insists she has the right to spoil her child and says it isn't her fault that others cannot do what she can. I further pointed out she could have picked the top three presents for her child and donated the rest and was flamed by everyone on her side that the poor kid needs to get used to live as he knows it and she has an absolute right to spoil her kid any way she sees fit.
I am okay with feelings either way, but need to know if I am just a bleeding heart because I was raised in a poor family. We only got pictures of things we wanted for Christmas and over the year my mom tried to get the item for us.
Thank You,
