I can spoil my kid if I want to and it is none of YOUR business!

My sister had the nerve to say my kids are spoiled brats just because they all have IPOD touches.  My kids are ages 14, 12, 10, 7 and 4.  The older three kids got them for their bdays recently (JAN.27th, FEB. 8th and FEB.12th)  They enjoyed them so much we decided to go out and purchase two more for the little ones since alot of the apps. are free it is just like buying them a games system that would cost the same but we dont have to go out and buy cartridges that cost up to 60.00 apiece.  My kids are super responsible, well behaved, get good grades in school, and are respectful and polite to all adults so why shouldnt I spoil them ?  My little kids keep all of their "breakable" toys put up on a bookshelf it they arent using them and I dont even have to tell them to do so.

           SO  what do you think about them all having IPOD touches ?

Nothing wrong with it! Sounds like sister is jealous. There is one thing to have spoiled kids. It's another to have spoiled brats. If ya don't have brats you're doing good! :)

I'd be the last one to complain.  My kids all have personal computers, or Ipads. And cell phones. 2 of them have paid gaming subscriptions.

 mine have them and they are 7 and 9, and they have gaming systems so i think your sister would say the same about mine...  I don't see an issue with it...

I spoil my kid too. Who cares what others think, every child is different and if they are responsible with them than great, if not, its your money you are losing, not everyone elses so their opinion don't even count.

Your money, your kids. If my kids were that responsible I would spoil them too!

My kids have them too.  My daughter has a 2nd gen that she had for 2-1/2 years, took it to school every day and never got a scratch on it.  I bought her a brand new one, and she gave her brother the old one.  They both use them constantly and take really good care of them.  They use them to text, use the apps for games, listen to music.  I have to sign into Yahoo Messenger for work, so they can message me at work using their ipods.  The camera is great on the new one.  It was money well spent.

 They are not my kids, so I really don't care.  Do what you think is right.  I have an only child & I've always known she would be spoiled, and she is.  She however, will never be bratty.

Thanks....I work really hard to be able to provide them with things that I would have only dreamed of owning as a kid....They are good kids and deserve the best IMO.
