At just 11, is Brogan the most spoilt child in Britain?

£150K on designer gear for an 11 year old?! non-alcoholic champagne and a limousine for her 11th birthday?!:eek:
If that was my mother, I'd rather she just put the money into the bank/credit union for me, instead of spending thousands on designer gear. Sure if I had the money, I'd buy designer gear, but not £150k's worth of it.:eek:
Anyone on DS spoil their kids like this?

appaling and it is the kid who will suffer in later life if she carries on that way into adulthood with no proper guidance at home
Nevertheless, it's still OTT.
If her parents cared about her they would get her to be more active. The girl has legs like a tree trunk and will have no chance of being a model if she continues to put on the pork.
If they must spend money on her then it should be on exercise classes and walking holidays. It would do her a hell of a lot more good.
However, just look at the photo on that article. THAT is an 11-year-old? No 11-year-old should be dressed like that and be photographed in sexually provocative poses. What the frack is going on there? When I was 11, if any of my girl mates tried to dress like that, their mothers would have knocked them senseless!
To me that suggests money over parenting. Spend, spend, spend on the kid and that excuses the parent of the duty of actually raising the child. As my dad always told me as a kid; if you let a child have whatever they want, they'll grow up expecting everything to be their way. Eventually, they'll want people and they cannot be bought.
You do no good to a child raising them without parenting them. gotta feel sorry for the girl, though. Its not like she stood a chance.
I wouldn't necessarily see that as a good thing...
are they on benefits ?
Well we used to have Charlene on here and her 14 yo daughter. She must have been close to the most spoilt.
Anyone would think they were starving or beating her.
This is such an inconsequential story, I'm amazed anyone can get so riled about it.
And I would not allow an 11 years old to dress like that :eek:
What kind of name is Brogan anyway? I thought it said 'bogan' at first, Aussie for 'chav'.
I thought it was a boy's name at first!
I don't know Charlene or her kid. SO can't comment on their lifestyle.
it says in that article they have a joint income of 30,000 a year does it not ? Half their income goes on the one daughter... disgusting !

And it's origin is Gaelic (:mad:), probably because the Irish for shoes is "brógaí"
*edit* Sasha Bennington.
I've seen Brogan used as a girl's name before, and for a girl quite unlike this one.
I'm a bit torn; I don't think her parents are raising her very well, but at the same time, the self-righteous tone of the Mail gets on my wick.
