I am tired of hearing people projecting their fears onto children! I'm sick of hearing adults voice their negative expectations of their children.
Never say a child is bad, demanding, or spoiled. This is an awful thing to say to a child who knows not what he does. When a 1-3 year old says 'fuck you' because they heard it in their environment, they are not bad. They're just repeating what they see. If you are a parent and your child is parroting negative environmental inputs, change the environment. Step it up. Switch daycares, stop cursing, stop hitting, laugh more, et cetera.
Practice not giving attention to your unfounded fears, and practice imagining the grand possibilities. See your child as full of potential, and not a time-bomb waiting to set off.
