Ex-Wife says I spoil my daughter

My ex-wife says I spoil my 7-year old daughter a little too much. She does have an iPhone, but it is my old one that I gave her for christmas and some of her friends have one. Also, she has a Master-sized bedroom, only because I wanted the bedroom with the huge window in my new house. Additionally, she has a MacBook Air and a flatscreen in her room. She is beginning to ask for expensive things in the store. I even ended up buying her a new bed in Target! How can I end this now I don't want her to become a brat like those girls on my super sweet 16!

It's fine that you're buying your daughter all these things, and I know some people will say, "Learn how to say NO!", but that isn't what non-spoiling is about. Spoiling is when someone uses you to get things that they desire. In other words, you donate yourself to them. What you must do is, ask your daughter if she feels like the expensive one might just be not as good, or nice, as the less expensive one. Oftentimes I've bought stuff that was expensive, or of "higher" quality, only for it to break on me later.
Or, you're a troll.

Giving her the oversized bedroom was your 1st mistake, you are the parent and paying the bills, if you wanted that bedroom you should have just told her without bribbing her, now she knows that and (in her mind) now you have givin her the right to bargin with you,
You now need to sit down with her and set some ground rules, be firm and don't give in, NO might be a harsh word to someone who has been given expensive things.goodluck

  • Would you vote for iphone 5s or iphone 5c? Both my wife thinks the same performance? So she wanted to buy iphone 5c, I do not know how to choose? What is your choice, just tell me. Thank you. I think I still prefer iphone 5s. Hee hee.
  • Why won't mine and my wife s iphone calendars merge/ sync? Our calendars used to sync.whenever she added something to her calendar on her phone it would go to mine and vice-versa. It no longer does this. I can't figure out why. We text each other with appointments and things and each of us manually adds the others things. Please Help. Thanks in advance. We both have CALENDAR ON under iCloud. But it still won't do it.
  • I think my wife is cheating? I think my wife is having an affair! Is there a way that actually works to see her text messages on her iPhone without her knowing or actually having her phone? Please help don't want to be a creap just want to know for sure.
  • How to track the exact location of my wife's iPhone? I need to know how to track where my wife goes and not let her know about it. I've seen it on the maps app that comes with the phone on a coworker that used to work at my job. I have an iPhone 5 and so does she. I don't want to have to pay for this service i just want to know where she is.
