11 ways to raise spoiled and corrupt politicians in the Philippines

If there's one thing that the country is rich in, it's not just land and water resources but also spoiled and corrupt politicians.

If you are one of the exceptional few who want to raise children who are rich in material wealth but poor in morals and values, then follow these 11 simple tips.

Make sure your child grows up obstacle-free

As a parent, you understandably want your child to be the best in everything he does. So, when a teacher gives a less than stellar grade, badger her into raising the grade. Then, do your son’s homework, answer his take home quizzes, and come up with excuses for the times when he purposefully failed to submit a project.

Spare your child of having to deal with obstacles. After all, he is absolutely perfect, and you want him to know that when he gets into trouble, you’ll be there to bail him out.

Buy your child the latest gadgets

Why let your child settle for an iPhone 5 when you can give him an iPhone 6? As a parent, it is important to provide the latest models of everything to your child so he will grow up accustomed to acquiring unnecessary material things. You do want him to turn into an adult who will lavishly spend on "wants” instead of "needs”—regardless of where the money comes from.

Always give your child money

Instead of teaching financial responsibility, take the easy way out by always giving him money. After all, why should he learn about budgeting and saving when you, his very own automated teller machine, are around.

Now the foundation for an adult who opts for easy money versus an honest day’s worth is laid out.

Teach your child that as long as the job gets done, the process doesn't matter

Say you give your child money to buy materials for an upcoming project. Instead of buying everything he needs, he decides to buy only the "essentials" and keep the change for himself. When you find out about it, don't be surprised if he explains that he needed the extra money for so and so and that you shouldn’t be upset since he handed the project in anyway.

Your child is right. As long as he submitted was what required, his dishonesty about the misuse of money can be overlooked.

Don't be consistent with rules and consequences

One way to raise corrupt politicians in the Philippines is to let your child grow up with rules and consequences that aren't consistently enforced. This practice fosters the notion that rules aren't set in stone and that they can broken because there are no consequences.

Refuse to let your child help with household chores

Between playing games and wreaking havoc at home, children nowadays simply have too much to do to be bothered with household chores. Your child is lucky to have someone to always pick up after him.

Forget fostering proper time management, discipline and a sense of community, let future spoiled and corrupt politicians in the Philippines grow up thinking that life is all about fun and that we don't need responsibilities.

Let your child grow up with the "customer is always right" mentality

Nothing screams "spoiled" more than an obnoxious level of entitlement. Teach your child that everyone, from the waiter at the restaurant to the nanny, must cater to his every whim, regardless of how inconvenient and unnecessary it is.

After all, said individuals are being paid for their services, so what your child wants, your child should get. That way, when he grows up to become a person of authority, he will feel that everyone should bow down to him, right or wrong.

Do away with teaching manners and treating people with respect

"Please," "thank you," and other signs of respect are things that your child can do without. If and when your child joins the roster of spoiled and corrupt politicians in the Philippines, you want to make sure that he is insensitive, condescending and disrespectful to those who work for and with him.

Ignore your child's disruptive behavior, even at the expense of others

Even when other parents are politely asking you to hush your child so they can enjoy their meal out, ignore them. Your child has every right to throw a tantrum in a restaurant, for as long and as loud as he wants. After all, how dare the establishment not have the food that your child wants! Not only does the establishment come off as incompetent but insensitive as well!

Teach them to be dishonest—no matter what!

Even when guilty of breaking home furniture, chinaware, or his cousin's toy, teach your precious one to deny all allegations.

Dishonesty is a trait that all spoiled and corrupt politician wannabe's must master, so teach this on a daily basis.

Raise your child with a me-centric personality

There are articles on the importance of children’s self-confidence, but as a parent who wants to raise spoiled and corrupt politicians, you must take this to a whole new level.

Teach your child to always put his wants and needs before others and completely disregard other's feelings and well-being in the quest to get what he wants.

Your child should grow up thinking that the world revolves around him, and anyone who doesn’t cooperate doesn’t deserve to be a part of his life.
