I think the word “ spoilt “ is thrown around to brazenly when describing kids.

The actual definition of spoilt is To harm the character of a person ( especially a child ) by being too lenient and or indulgent. To call a child spoilt of what is bought for them & not knowing the character of the child just doesn’t make any sense to me

I do think some people use the word wrong but I feel like too few people use it and realize that their kids are spoiled

I think it's a 50/50 split. There are many people that call children spoilt if they get lots of things like you said, and that's usually out of jealousy. But there are also many parents out there that have extremely spoilt and entitled children and act as if they do no wrong. I'm in the UK and i swear that the current generation of teenagers is the worst I've ever encountered, they're all very entitled and have no sense of responsibility or respect and are constantly causing trouble. Recently, a group of teenagers causing trouble in the shopping centre in my hometown attacked a security guard for throwing them out, which then resulted in him having a heart attack.

@Jayde I’m from the uk , 100% agree. They’re have to up the police on foot around town from 9pm-2am ! Why are tour 13/14/15 ext out till 2am ???

My niece is spoiled and by that I mean she can go shopping with her mum, give back chat/terrible behaviour and then demand a toy she has seen in a toy shop - her mum will get it for her and 5 mins later, that toy will likely be discarded before they’ve even left the shopping centre. She has no concept of ownership or cost. She got a £300 Barbie dollhouse one year for Christmas, by Boxing Day she had broken parts of it. Has had 3 iPads now as when she breaks one, it gets replaced. You get the gist, and she’s only 7. The level of entitlement is insane. I have the financial means to buy my daughter anything she wants. I try and teach her the value of things and that we can’t always get what we want. She has a lot of toys, clothes etc as I come from a big family but she is not a spoilt child. She is taught manners, respect and looks after her toys. She knows not every child is as fortunate as she is, she even chose 5 toys herself to give to charity so other children could enjoy them😭
