Recently, our household income has increased, and we can now afford to give our DS some treats and luxuries. The opportunity has come up for us to buy a house, which has a big bedroom for him, with adjoining sitting room, which we would be a fun space for him to spend time with friends (he is 14).
My friend thinks I should withhold privileges like this from my DS, or he will be spoiled. For context, this friend is much wealthier than us, but they have different money priorities. They have a huge house, but would never “give my DC their own sitting room”.
All the usual caveats apply. I absolutely know we are in a position of relative privilege to many, but AIBU to think that my DS will not automatically be spoiled just because of having his own sitting room? When he was younger we were quite strapped for cash, so he will have experienced both sides of things.
