What's the most pampered/indulged behaviour you've ever seen?

[ChaosTrulyReigns]

When I used to have a proper job , one of my colleagues would phone her mom at the first spit of rain to go and fetch her washing in. This was about 8 miles from the office (so who knew what the weather was like at home?) abd a 4 mile round trip fir the mom and dad (mom didn't drive).

SIOB that the parents would do it!

She once called home and asked her to go and wash up a breakfast bowl as she had run out of time to do it.

I am not an under achiever nor do I have learning difficulties, I am a qualified nursery nurse and a qualified education support assistant. I chose not to work just now as I don't need to I am at home with dd3.

Inspirational, even. (Bloody Friday afternoon!)

Can someone fetch me popcorn and open the bag and feed it to me while I watch the thread?
Its kind of hilarious and sad at the same time.

Eating, I take it your parents are young and are fit enough to do this but what when they get older and more fragile.

Of course she's thrown all her toys out of the pram - she's not used to people not treating her like a princess! This is exactly my point about it not being a good idea to treat your children like this - not everyone they meet in life will and they will have a hissy fit when they don't.

"I say ding ding and DH brings me wine or coffee"- that is BRILLIANT.

My family all run around after each other, we babysit and give lifts and do favours but it is fairly mutual.

I can see how it might look a bit Princessy from the outside when my Mum is babysitting and my Dad drives us into town for dinner. But I'll take them to the airport, or wait in for a parcel another day.

Is there any chance Threesy and Crumpets have a similar sort of give and take?

You are an underachiever if you can't achieve putting on your own socks

He is well trained

"dh buys me everything I want if I moan at him" - wow sounds like my idea of hell. I did ask DH last night if he minded me spending some of our money on a pair of shoes and I can't imagine him saying no to such a question but it's more politely informing him. Can't imagine a situation where dh takes on the "man of the house" role - I don't suit the little lady role either.

I think I'm too independent to get someone to do stuff for me. Interesting thread though op :)

Wasn't it Prince Charles who used to have toothpaste put on his toothbrush by a servant? What a prat.

I can't believe that someone is proud of being self entitled and spoilt. IMO it is not a nice trait. It really isn't. I once had a lady in our bar ask me to turn the music down. I said no as it was a birthday party. She sulked then ten minutes later asked a customer to stop singing. When he said no she sulked again. She was around 25 and told a member of staff that people usually did whatever she told them. Not me love !!!

Wine or coffee? What if he gets in wrong Reality ? Or does he bring both, on the off chance

Because I have a tendency to spend money like its going out of fashion so I can't have cash on me as I'd spend it.
Not a huge issue but we're trying to save for a new house so it was something we agreed on. Usually not an issue as I'll take lunch, but if I forget my dad will drop some lunch off for me.

I certainly don't think I'm a princess btw or aspire to be one! My DH and parents help me out, I don't demand or expect it and am always grateful. I'm struggling here to see why so many of you feel I am either
A) SN lessmiss you should be ashamed
B) entitled
C) not independent

I'm not sure why you all feel so horrified by something that doesn't impact you at all?

I am not smug, and the only pride I feel is that I am blessed to have such wonderful people in my life that care to help me out. Not sure why that's wrong if them either?!

I tagged along on a visit to a girl from school with a schoolfriend many moons ago.
Witnessed her mum asking her what she wanted for dinner, then her other two siblings. Her mum was going to cook three entirely separate meals for her three teenagers, and then one for her DH when he got home because "they all like different things"

Coffee during the day, wine in the evening. Vodka at the weekends.

I am a simple creature

Oh but it does impact us. We all have someone like you in our lives. It does not make us happy

Of course theres give and take I do alot for my husband and love to spoil him. Aswell as my parents. I am extreamly grateful for them and what they do. I am just very materialistic always have been things make me happy.

I can obviously put my own socks on but it's much nicer to get pampered.

The Queen doesn't carry money, I believe. Perhaps Threesy is the Queen. And when she says 'DH and parents', she means 'a lady-in-waiting'...?

As long as he knows the procedure

reality I do plenty in return.
I do shops for them if they aren't feeling up to it, airport drop offs at 3 in the morning etc.

Am grateful for what they do for me, I am an only child and was/am spoilt, but I am not a brat. There is a big difference

Sounds perfectly normal to me then, Crumpets. It's all about context.

Threesy

"I am exactly the same to my dds and i would expect the men they end up with to see it as their job to make them happy too."

Yes, I would expect my DD to end up with someone who would make them happy too, but not to end up being treated like a child by them.

It is nice that you're with people who love you and care so much about you that they will go way beyond the call of duty to help you....

but it makes you very dependent and lacking in resourcefulness, imo. I wouldn't want my daughter to see me having to be helped to do almost everything. I don't think it sets a great example.

Also imagine if the boot was on the other foot and someone came on here saying her DH had to have his socks put on/bootlaces tied/bath run etc etc.

People would be up in arms about him being a lazy, entitled arse. Why is it OK to do it if you're a woman?

I'm not horrified, I just think you both sound ridiculous. I've met people like you before, and they generally think people see them as "cute", what with their little spoilt ways and all. In reality, most people think it's a bit sad.
