Wolf -Why do most (not yours) kids have it -because they need it or they want it?

In truth, probably some combination of the two.

I’m not saying as a kid you can’t have things just because you want it, but there has to be a limit.

I agree with you

I see very few parents nowadays with the means, saying no to their children. The sky is the limit.

I don’t believe the problem is nearly as expansive as you make it out to be. Are there spoiled kids today? Certainly – just as there were spoiled kids in the previous generation. But just because someone has a cell phone or an electronic device, or even something that’s completely discretionary does not make them spoiled — nor does it make their parents bad parents for giving it to them.

It’s all in the balance. No parent should say “yes” all the time — but it’s just as true that no parent should say “no” all the time either. You’ve got to find the right balance for your children and your family.
