Survey: Mpls Parents Spoil Their Kids, St. Paul Parents Don't

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- Minneapolis and St. Paul often have friendly rivalries, and a new survey is sure to have parents in both cities talking.

Children in Minneapolis are ranked fourth on the list of cities that spoil their kids the most, according to number-crunching website bundle.com.

Bundle "examined spending by households with children at stores that sell toys, clothing and other services for tots, kids, and teens." Parents in Manhattan and Brooklyn had the most spoiled kids (by far). The next up on the spoiled list were kids in Miami, Fla., Minneapolis and Tulsa, Okla.

But on the list of least spoiled kids, St. Paul came in second, right behind Madison, Wis.

Milwaukee, Wis., Indianapolis, Ind., and Columbus, Ohio, rounded out the least-spoiled list.
