With that in mind I think it’s totally okay.
Just to talk a bit about my experiences as a bit of a spoiled child in my early upbringing: I am a second child so my parents already had a bunch of stuff. Also I’d say my parents were upper middle class with no monetary issues to worry about (as long as they stayed married). My mother was very very very very VERY keen on us, my brother and me, learning instruments.
Our toy collection included a ukulele, a xylophon, a glockenspiel and even a real violin. My mother had secret hopes for the violin.
She send us to something called “music school” which should help develop musically. We did lessons as kids in which we clapped syllables, played songs on the glockenspiel, learned rythm. My brother went on to learn keyboard but quit after 2 years. I never continued anything apart from trying to learn guitar at 18. There again - my mom immediately paid for private lessons.
While it is really nice to be supported in any way I want looking back and thinking on it not having to do or prove anything to get all the doors opened might have something to do with quick loss of interesting/never really putting time into it. It rarely felt like I was doing it for me and a bit pushed onto me, except for the guitar thing.
That’s just my perspective I wanted to share. If there’s motivation and interest coming from him - great. Just don’t be dissappointed if it doesn’t happen.
P.S: I was spoiled, but rarely a brat ![]()
