Do I spoil my daughter too much?
My daughter is 18 and my whole world. She's my only child and the only family I really have anymore ever since my husband (Her father) passed away. She's a good kid, but my girlfriends always tell me how badly I spoil her whenever I mention things I've bought for her. I don't buy her things all the time, but if we're out and about and she sees a dress or a pair of shoes she likes, sometimes I'll get it for her.
She owns an iPhone 4S, iPod touch (Not the newest one), and she has a 32 inch Sony television in her room along with a Blu Ray player (Originally was my husband's Blu Ray before he passed away) and for Christmas I bought her a new Sony laptop since her Dell was breaking down. She has a few pieces of jewelry from Tiffany & Co, given to her for holidays, and she does have a Louis Vuitton purse, but in her defense, it WAS mine until I got a new handbag and had no more use for the LV.
I don't give her everything she wants, just things I can afford. She doesn't have a car, and doesn't have designer clothes because I can't afford that as a single parent. I give her what I can, but sometimes she flips out on me from time to time. We were at the mall the other day and she wanted an item and when I said no, she actually yelled at me in front of everyone and then dashed away. I felt bad and went back and bought for her, and she was still mad. I feel like I can never be enough for her. What do I do?
Stop your the one in charge not her:3
keep smiling x
It was all going fine until the last bit. Don't let her guilt you into buying stuff for her.
I think you do. I'm almost the same age as your daughter, for me, I will never ask too much from my parents, I think they are so tired in making the money and I should try my best to save money for them.
I bet your daughter is an arrogant brat manykids are poor hav her work her lazy self and burn all her things
Yes you do, as evidenced by her behavior at the mall.
Minimise the things you buy for her, also let her no that she is your whole world and you don't want her getting spoilt
You WHAT?
You bought her what she wanted because she threw a temper tantrum? Sorry, refresh my memory, is she two or eighteen?
You have created a spoiled, rotten brat. Now it's up to you to fix. You're the parent, so BE a parent!
Also, she's 18 for f*ck's sake. She should be buying her own sh*t by now.

She's getting her permit and I feel like my truck is too big for her I want to get her a smaller car but I'm wondering am I spending too much money on her for her just a girl that's about to turn 15
- Is my daughter spoiled for having an iPhone? My daughter is 13 and we bought her an iPhone 5 when it came in the stores, people think she's "spoiled".Is she really spoiled? She has other phones in case one runs out of battery. She isn't the nicest kid she does brag about the stuff she has and I don't have a problem with it if you buy something what's wrong with bragging? I don't think iPhones are expensive.
