No, of course you're not spoiling them. You're just being a nice, warm, generous Mum, and most children learn from that and act the same way. I always helped my son through University and almost a year of unemployment, giving him cash or buying clothes or equipment needed for his course or his work. Now he's earning his own money, even though it's not a great deal, he very often brings home little presents for me or his Dad, and he's very generous at birthdays or Christmas. He usually insists on taking us out for a meal, as well as buying presents. I wish he'd save his money but although he lives with us, he's not at home much and we enjoy his company, so we don't refuse. CB >|<

Goodness No! I've got two Sons, both in their 30's now. I love 'em to bits and would give them anything they wanted. And they know it! Jo.

No you not!! I`ve left home, got my own home and baby and mum still brings cooked meals when she comes over. Just before I had Kian she brought over meals that she had cooked for Chris, so he didn`t have to cook when I was in hospital!! She lives 30mins away!! Plus my brother is 17, in 6th form still living at home, has a part time job and my mum still does everything for him...
