Growing up, we did pretty okay. My stepdad works for the state and my mom is an RN. I got maybe half of what I wanted when I asked and there was always a good reason why I couldn't have some things.
Anyway, I think the line comes when you're sacrificing things that are NECESSITIES to give them things they want. Like sleepaway tennis camp, at the expense of this months' car payment or taking out a second mortgage to pay for your daughter's new Benz. Or knowing that you COULD move to a bigger home but can't because you instead spent it paying off your son's $6,000 credit card bills.
