when the child needs something, they're supposed to be able to ask the parent for it.
that's what's supposed to happen.
what happens when the child has everything that can be seen?
what happens when the child has been "spoiled"?
when you ask them about what christmas was like,"we gave her everything she wanted"
it should have been "we gave her everything she asked for"
because when you assume what the child wants instead of asking them to tell you, they begin to build their personality based on the things you buy for them.
when they bought me barbies, i wanted to be pretty and thin. when they bought me Knex, i wanted to be an architect.
when they bought me a computer, i realize i didn't need them.
