To dislike the word spoilt as a brag?

[Rubyupbeat]

Just that really. I find it's used a lot where I live, as a proud boast to the tons of toys the children have received at Christmas or even an adult has received. Usually from those who are financially worse off.
I had never heard it used in this way before, only in the context of an over indulged child.
I can kind of understand it, I was brought up in a really poor area, (70s. 80s) but many people dripped in gold, so I think it may be a similar thing?

I've never heard brag used as a noun before. Usually it's a verb - she was bragging. I'd say spoilt brat, although it's not a term I use at all, really.

I hate the term spoilt. Children aren't bits of food that go off and need to be thrown out. Humans can change, grow, learn to work through behaviours they were subjected to as a child.

Sorry! Just hate the term in general and felt good to get that out!!

I think it is a greatly misused term. I think it can be an accurate way of thinking about a child whose character has literally been spoilt by overindulgence but that is nothing to do with material possessions. A truly spoilt child is a child of inadequate parenting. My older child is a bit spoilt and I put my hands up to my role in this. I am doing better with the next one.
