EN: to have someone be spoiled/petted
This is when a lola sees her apo and declares, 'Hayaan niyo ako!' It's the act of letting someone else (usually a grandparent or tita) spoil the kid rotten. 'Gusto mo ng Jollibee? Gusto mo ng bagong laruan? Sige!' It's basically outsourcing the spoiling.
From `ipa-` (causative prefix) + `layaw` (spoiled, pampered).
This is a causative verb. It's different from `layawin` (to spoil someone directly). `Ipalayaw` means to allow or cause someone to be spoiled, often by a third party.
