How to treat a very demanding son?

How to treat a very demanding son? I wish the question can be any easier than this. I have no idea too. I usually spoil my son anyway. Whatever they asked, I normally just give it, in fact I decided to buy the toy well before he asked me. 
I told you earlier, I am spoiling my son. I wonder I will do it again for my twins? Wow.
Anyway, see here Josh playing on one of his favorite game, Sherlock Holmes. Does he really use his thinking side brain to solve the puzzle?
Here you can see he is playing the counter strike 2(CS2). Yes, he can play it better than my colleague! However, the one thing I don’t like when he’s playing this game is that he is always choose the terrorist and he always killed his teammate. I cannot remember how many times I heard the the computer voice saying - “Hey, what are you doing! I am your friend!”. Most of the time I argued and told him not to kill his friend. Guess what his answer, “Yes kill friend, myJosh wants friend’s machine gun”. Duhh. Sometimes, I have enough of his attitude. I just lift him up from the chair and switch off the computer. I told him, no computer game until you learn how to treat good your friend. He cries afterward, obviously.
Well check this shot again.
He is back and he is playing his other favorite game, the Adventure Rabbit. He said that playing Papa’s computer is much nicer than playing with the big computer. I asked why and guess what he said? He said, “See, Papa own computer screen - nice, big!”. He was referring to the lcd monitor of course. My laptop has the higher resolution compares to the desktop computer and he insisted I should change the desktop “big computer” monitor to something like my laptop. And guess what I would do? I am giving you a hint here. I want him to like the desktop PC so that my laptop is free and just for me.

Papajoneh, I also treat my son like that. As parent, we *heart* our children and always have the soft side for them. If we teach them how to manage time and not abuse it, I think it is alright.

well, if that’s how u treat Josh, most likely yr twins will be treated d same…….i mean d spoiling part but but but what would make the different could be d financial part, hehehe !! No more buying a single toy…..everythg will have to be double or else u will risk……u will know by then !!
i really couldn’t believe yr boy is so good with the PC at his age, 3………even with my boys approaching 5, i still reckon that i exposed them to PC too early, i don’t know???

Guilty as charged.. I also spoil my son too much. Until my mother gets upset. But the only thing he can’t get away with, is being rude to his elders.. Habis kena “bit” oleh mummy dia.

@flsam -
flsam - thanks for understanding. yes parent job can be so stressful. balancing between giving and teaching while taking out some freedom and holding ourselves. If money no problem, i think my son really spoil to the max now. Hahaha.
@jacss -
jacss - I hope i do justice to everyone of them. I really like seeing them happy. honestly. I still remember my parent struggle to meet my demand. Yes, financially i will struggle more with the twins. I hope they’re not so demanding like his brother Josh. Thats why more sponsored posting just because of them. LOL.
About the pc exposure, i think and i believe children should be familiarized with the pc as soon as possible.Just ensure what they’re learning through the pc is a good one. I regret teaching Josh the counterstrike game. Quite brutal. Killing people
but i noticed my son can do the shape matching, color and even learn few english words from the games i exposed to him.minus the CS2 game of coz.
@Shemah -
Shemah - yabah. I like to manja my son. I think everyone in my family knows my style… they said im sure gonna be bankrupt. Hahahaha.. Yep we need to “bit” a bit to teach them where’s the boundary.

Wat, he is already into CounterStrike?! LOL
We all have our parenting style, the main thing is our kids will grow up responsible and I think when we care about our kids, regardless of whether we spoil or be too strict with them, we will make sure in our own ways to instill the right values, dont you agree?
In short, the strict parents don’t always bring up better kids

@Jewelle -
Jewelle - Yes, and now playing Call of Duty. The war game!
I agree on that. I thought about it last nite. I said to myself, it is better myJosh follow my style than other people style. I know I am not a good father in a way that should be done to your child. I really spoiling him.. but at least I know he’s following my foot steps.
Yes, there’s not definite answer to one’s future even to our own children. The only thing we can do is try try try and hopefully they turn out to be ok. I pray to GOD for that, Amen.

This is my personal experience and my personal opinion only: I am an ICT graduate and have been working in the ICT line for about 15 years. I might be an ideal candidate for PC games, and yes, I was a kaki once, but have stopped playing computer games for 10 years already. My kids play very minimal computer games, like a few hours in 1 month. And only in one of those arcades. At home, only educational games are allowed. Never those violent ones (FPS etc). To me, games are supposed to be played out there. I bring them out to play football, basketball, badminton, swimming, running, cycling, camping, kite-flying. Anything other than staying indoors and watching too much TV.

My son just like your son when he playing shooting game. He like to kill his teammate too, aiks so many time keep on telling him but he said i like. I stop him playing Playstation but he go for the online game..haha..what to do, nothing to do at home and i lazy to play with him so let him be just for this 2 years. When he goes to stnd.1 i dun think he got time for game anymore..so pity him.
