I am in the same boat, waited to have kids so I can give them everything I never had. The results: complains when I don’t deliver 100 %, blames when they don’t have latest toy or clothing doesn’t match their friends. The latest one , when I took them to gymnastic and I have cronic stomash problems /bloating , my son sais he is embarrassed that I am with them because his friend would smell the nastiness of that . And I was driving them exhausted and sick.

I hope you’re feeling better by now, Shelby. I have a five year old son who threw a fit at Grandma’s house after she went to so much trouble to host a birthday party for him. He screamed “I didn’t want that!” at everything he opened. He was hoping for certain one toy he didn’t get. I was mortified and so sad. I wondered “what have I done that you’re so ungrateful?” It’s a sinking feeling that my husband doesn’t seem too broken up about. It’s the Mamas who carry it. I wish I could give you a hug. Keep hugging your daughter. Even when she doesn’t feel like it, at least she’ll know deep down how much you love her. She’ll stay close to you her whole life, and eventually she’ll come around to appreciate all you have done. Speaking from experience with my single Dad who raised me!

However I’m so angry at the continued behavior my daughter gives me that I want to go in her room and throw all of her stuff in a bag and throw it out the window!!!! She’s almost 8… I have certainly made mistakes but I feel like we do a great job of showing her the value of money. She is spoiled though. I was 40 when I had her and she is an only child. I have lots of people who give her things but no real help by way of family guidance. I’m just so frustrated and broken. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would have such an ungrateful child. I love her more than words can say… I waited my whole life for her. I just didn’t Think hear early years would be so tough. I expect this from teens… but jimminy Christmas… this has been way more difficult than I ever knew since day one. Feeling like a sad failure today.
