Answer
There's nothing wrong with spoiling your child. You're the parent, you know your kid best than anyone else.
For me, though, and this is my opinion. I want to show my children love in other ways. Most people associate love with giving of material belongings. I do give my kids books, toys and clothes but I am conscious of doing it only when they're deserving of them. Otherwise, they get my time, attention and outings.
I show them that I love them in different ways. It's important to me because love does not always equal material things. Besides, they have to earn what they get otherwise they may grow up thinking that the world owes them something. Nobody owes them anything and they won't get anywhere unless they work hard, right?
Spoiling a child can happen in different ways. Not just material belongings. A child may be a brat because they don't get positive attention at home and so goes around misbehaving because that's the only way they get attention. The best way to avoid this is through lots of positive reinforcement.
Most people do tend to think that children whose parents happen to have money are spoiled. It may be because they believe the children don't learn to be appreciative of what they have. Maybe because they think that the children don't learn to sympathize with children who don't have as much. As a teacher, I've seen many
"rich" kids being unnecessarily cruel to other children.
I'd say, go ahead, give your child what they want and need if you can. That's our dream as parents isn't it? However, it may be a good idea to also volunteer at a homeless shelter, or teach him/her to donate clothing or toys. Teach them about our social responsibilities and they'll be even better than they are now.

What's the deal with kids meal toys and young adults?
Reed Ellis
Why do I periodically see commercials advertising kids meal toys, but the commercial shows young men (between 22 and 25 years old) using these toys. The one commerical that stands out was for a digital watch in Burger King meals. I can't remember what was on the watch, but nothing geared toward this age group.

They want to appeal to an inner child in all of us, and nothing says fun like a 5c plastic toy.
