Just steal it is one childs philosophy, here or elsewhere,
another doesnt give a rats ass, just plays guitar all day
third has found that demanding a needed item about 300 times a day, writes notes about his demands and posts them everywhere (not large demands) and wears my wife down, I just snarl at him to get a job.
The little one learns well "they dont do it I wont! either" track is the latest. I dont buy candy or treats. My wife doesnt have the sheer will I have to totally ignore their screaming whining bitching.
You do realize that your example was based in a "everything is mine" culture as my wife is from the "we have something, share it out to everyone" philosophy.
The everything is mine comment is simply an assumption on my part that the family parents worked so between them "owned" the household and the kids had no say.
