writes: I know that my girlfriend is quite spoilt and likes to get her own way but i never knew she was that bad. As Xmas is approaching all she talks about is presents that she is buying people and its non-stop. It's okay if she talks about it occasionally but its every time we speak to each other. She also keeps guessing what I have bought her for xmas and gets funny and goes silent and moody if i don't tell her what I have got. I hate the spoilt look on her face when she keeps asking what I have got and i keep saying 'It's Xmas its a surprise just wait!...' but she makes out she doesn't like 'surprises'...She also makes out she doesn't take her mum for granted yet when her mum has been out shopping which is on average 4 times per week and she hasen't bought her anything back she gets funny and pulls a childlike face and changes her personality in a split second. Yet if her mum jokes and has somthing for her her face will change too smiling and happy. It seems as though she is very spoilt and it really annoys me...I never knew she was like this before... She has spent £500 in one month on presents for her and other people...i find it crazy! Reply to this Question

so what do you need help with? getting her to be not so spoiled?
i find that hard to do. my girlfriend and her siblings ... they're more spoiled than your girlfriend. granted she's pretty frugal at times .. but, to me, they don't really know the value of a dollar. none of them have really held their own jobs and lived on their own yet (all in their early 20s and going to school). but, yet they find it so easy to spend a few hundred a week (each) on this and that. why, this past friday, they spent about 2000-3000 at the mall for black friday sale. all on electronic equipment ...
so, my thinking on them is .. they won't know till they live on their own and find that their average job doesn't pay more than the rent. i don't think it's something that can be taught to them .. they are what they are at this age. unless of course, their family goes broke right now. i may sound cynical in what i've just said but that's how i've come to accept their attitude towards money ... when they have to earn their own dollar, they'll realize it (hopefully).
