3-year-old tries to blow out older sister's candles on her 10th birthday, parents squabble over relighting just to pacify him: “I won’t allow my son to be one of those spoiled kids”

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Parenting is no easy task. It's not only incredibly difficult, but it's also forever. The eternal ties to your tethered child keep you in a cyclical spiral until your untimely day of disintegration. When you marry someone and decide to have children, you don't always talk about children or parenting. You may not see eye to eye on parenting. One of you may want to raise your kids with tough love, lots of discipline, and the sense of pride in everything that they do. The other may want to expose their child to the arts and fine culture, to make them educated in sophistication instead of blue collar tasks. Or one may want to raise them with free love, no sense of responsibility, and a lack of consequences in general. It's important that before you get married and have children that the two of you discuss what you actually want from your forever relationships.

In the story below, the parents argue over parenting. The mom doesn't want her younger son to be spoiled in comparison to her daughter, but the father wants them to get the same things at the same time. Read the full story below for all the juicy details.
