One more thing. Discussions about whether kids are spoiled always indict parents for raising kids who arent obedient, as if obedience is the holy grail to which parents should aspire. But dont you want to raise a child whos self-disciplined and WANTS to cooperate? Thats very different from obedience, where the discipline comes from outside the child. As H.L. Mencken said, Morality is doing whats right no matter what youre told. Obedience is doing what youre told no matter whats right.
