If you think a person is spoiled (adult) do you think it's acceptable to make life hard for them?

It depends on the kind of spoiled.

Do they buy themselves the expensive stuff with theit own money? Are they simply unaware of other's financial struggles because they were never exposed to such things?

Or do they expect to get whatever they want? Do they believe others exist only to assist them?

There's self endulgent, privelaged, entitled, extra, etc. Different kinds of spoiled and while some are justifies others are not.

@Tython but why is any of that any of your business?
If you ever become a parent don't you want to be ae to provide the best for your child?
Would it be acceptable for someone to make your child feel like shit if they're from a slightly privileged environment?
And that could simply be, being raised by two parents...

@Mellowgirl It becomes my business, and anyone else's for that matter, if these spoiled tendancies become harmful in some way to me, mine, or the public. Thousands of "Karan" videos exist in this catagory. A sense of entitlement doesn't excuse you from consequences. If it's simply hubris or an annoying personality, I'll make my assuptions and opinions but I would do nothing to the person until they pose some threat.

Also, your original question specifies adults. Children are a slightly different matter.

I hope to raise my own kids soon, but so far just my neices and nephews. And I have done all I can to provide them the best life possible. This includes raising them with a healthy sense of humility, empathy, kindness, self-worth, etc. If someone sees this and thinks them spoiled and deserving of poor treatment, it sounds more like that person is suffering fromt their own mental and/or emotional issues.

If someone acts in a harmful way towards another simply for having two parents then it seems there's something wrong with the later. Some kind of infferiority complex, perhaps? If this is their only reason then it's entirely unjustified.

Basically, one cannot know what troubles others have gone or are currently going through. However, that does not excuse those others from mistreatment of more people. People have lived with loving parents, caring friends, and a healthy environment. Meanwhile, another could be an orphan abused and neglected by foster families. Neither has any justification in mistreating those uninvolved in their lives.

It's not acceptable to make anyone feel bad for their upbringing. An environment or series of events likely beyond their control. It is, however, acceptable to hold those accountable for their actions.

Please excuse any typos. I'm a bit tired when typing this. 😅
