Spoil them? Hell yeah.. teach them what hard work, dedication and respect can do... definitely. I'm sure I could have/should have done some things differently, but they've both turned out great (24 and 21 now). They both had to do decent in school.. follow my rules at home...do schoolwork and chores before play or tv, etc. Many things they wanted down the road they had to 'earn' by grades or by special chores.

That's great to hear!!!! My son is spoiled in certain aspects, but when he fucks up, he knows it and loses everything! School is the big thing, he knows we feel like that is his "job" if he screws up, he knows what's going to happen! I'm really proud of him in general, in this day in age, he has alot of respect for anyone older...which is unusual anymore
It's actually amazed me I've had older people in restaurants come over and tell me they just had to say the where impressed at how well behaved and polite he was. He's a kid, they screw up and push the limits if they think they can. but all in all, he's pretty damn good!
