I thought so

I watch my friends kids behaving badly and demanding things non stop and they just give into it as they love them SO much and don't want them to go without a thing. I always say I'd never be like that. But I guess when they're yours it's different.

I guess it's the "yeah I know Norwich are on tv tonight but he wants to watch Sponge Bob" stuff I can't understand. I'm sure when I was young I got what I was given, not what I demanded.
