For most parents, it's easier to give in than it is to say no.
Recently on Dr. Phil, there was a woman who was buying ridiculously expensive things for her 17 year old daughter. Designer clothes/purses, computer, cars, etc... SHE HAD NO JOB. The daughter didn't ask her mother how she was paying for these things, and really didn't care as long as she got what she wanted. Turns out, the mother stole the clothing & purses and worked out of her house as a prostitute while her daughter was at school. SHE WOULD RATHER PIMP HERSELF OUT THAN SAY NO TO HER CHILD. That, I find truly amazing.
