According to Dr. Denitrea Vaughan, Psy.D., LPC, a Texas-based supervisor with Thriveworks, "'Spoiled,' as in a 'spoiled child,' can be defined as characteristics of excessive self-centered and immature behaviors due to a lack of age-appropriate boundaries being set by parents." Although parents generally don’t intend to "spoil" a child, certain parenting strategies—often born from well-meaning intentions or a reflection of how they were raised—can lead to this outcome. The consequences are far-reaching, with specific traits often carrying over into adulthood, impacting both workplace dynamics and personal relationships.

It’s no secret that inflation is leaving everyone struggling financially, and it’s affecting our lives in more ways than one. Not only are extracurriculars more expensive (as evidenced by this mom’s parody about dance recital inflation), but one of our basic needs is becoming unaffordable even for the middle class and upper-middle class—being able to eat. Buying food from the grocery store and cooking your own meals is supposed to be less expensive than eating out all the time, but the rising inflation costs of groceries are making cooking at home almost as expensive as going out. And people are going into debt in order to feed themselves and their families at home.
