Both my ex and I are pretty bad about spoiling our son. I don't splurge on myself much, but with him I do. I don't know if its good or bad. My ex is worse, she buys him designer everything.
Probably since he's our only child when you have just one you tend to do that more.
I really spoiled my ex-wife and I think it wasn't a good thing because she completely lost her sense of values from me doing that. Anything she wanted I would buy her. She was so down to earth when I met her and became less and less so as our years together grew and she acummulated more and more possessions. She started becoming dependent on buying things to provide her happiness fix. That's not a good thing. I know a lot of guys do that and you end up one day where your wife has everything and she starts saying I'm not happy more and more.
