I spoil my kids but it’s for their own benefit – there’s nothing wrong with a new car and vacations four times a year
A REAL estate coach has admitted to spoiling her kids and insists it’s for their own benefit.
As far as she is concerned there is nothing wrong with a new car and four vacations a year because being spoiled is not a bad thing.
Today, Tat Londono (@tatlondono) is a successful real estate coach and investor, with 2.8million TikTok followers and another whopping 46.5million likes.
She did not have a privileged upbringing in the material sense, but she was certainly loved.
“I’m going to share with you why it’s not [bad to be spoiled],” she said in her post.
“When I was a kid, I didn’t have much growing up. I literally paid for my own university education.
“But that’s not because my parents didn’t want to pay. It was because they couldn’t.”
Crucially, she did not feel hard done by, she said.
“My parents always gave me what I needed and I didn’t feel like I was missing out on anything.”
This experience informed her parenting style: “I knew that in the future that I wouldn’t want my kids to want anything,” she wrote.
She readily admitted that she had wanted her parents to pay for a beautiful wardrobe, a brand-new car, and four vacations a year.
And, because of that experience, she wanted to spoil her kids: “But that’s not necessarily a bad thing,” she insisted.
“What’s bad is when you raise spoiled brats. Kids that don’t appreciate a single thing they’re given. Kids who don’t appreciate the sacrifice their parents make for them.
“Kids who believe their lives are owed to them. Kids who think they’re the sh*t just because their parents have money.”
She has no time for young people raised like that.
“They’re the worst type of kids and they end up being the worst kind of human being,” she wrote.
“My kids may be spoiled, but they appreciate everything I do for them.
“They respect me and everyone around them. So it’s okay to spoil your kids, but just make sure they don’t become spoiled rotten brats.”
Her post resonated with a lot of viewers because it has been liked over 115,000 times and attracted hundreds of comments. They were broadly in agreement with her.
One commenter said: “I always say my parents spoiled me but they didn’t spoil me rotten.”
Another spoke of her parenting ambition: “I was raised poor and now middle class trying to become rich. I will spoil my kids but teach them respect, humility and gratitude.”
“Being spoilt isn’t bad as long as you are grateful,” was the view of this fan.
This follower commended her: “Yes queen, raising good hman beings.”
