<<<i have 4 teenagers >>>> Let me guess - you must be bald by now !!!! Our one and only to-be-a-teenager (10 yr old) is making my hair turn grey ! I'm not for spoiling them either. But just here to see that the gaps which they cannot fill for themselves, can be filled with love and care, and a little help from Santa ! She still has to work for it - a B+ grade and she knows she is in trouble. But for all things I always wanted and could never have, I make sure that she never "wants" anything too desperately. Of course there are ways of "giving"....like recently she wanted something outrageously expensive and I encouraged her to learn a language to "earn" the stuff ! Win win works with me rather than the comment - its too expensive for you to have ! But in parenting, I think its a gut feel. I don't think there is a hard and fast rule ! The end result should be happy, well adjusted adults ! Means to achieve this can be many ! and mine isn't even a teenager yet - so maybe I'm just hoping !
