Family: you can’t live with ‘em, you can’t live without ‘em! Siblings may cause your blood to boil when they tease you, and parents might get under your skin by trying to control too many aspects of your life. But at the end of the day, they’re family! As long as it’s clear that they truly love you, you can’t help but love them back.

But just because someone is family doesn’t mean you have to let them walk all over you or make unreasonable demands. In that case, feel free to call them out online! Below, you’ll find screenshots and photos featuring shockingly entitled behavior from relatives. We hope this list doesn’t remind you of any of your own family members, pandas, and keep reading to find conversations with Rachel Garduce, LCSW from Modern Therapy and Al Hoberman, MT-BC, LCAT from Zencare!

As immediate family, you'd think she would have been invited to the shower. This is just a slap in the face.

I don’t get it either … is it „sorry forgot invite, but you’re close family so it’s understood“, or „you looked at me weird five years ago so you’re banned from my house“? In neither case there would be a discussion.

Your sibling had a baby, you buy a gift! this is not a gift for the party. Coming from a culture with no baby shower at all, we buy gifts without expecting anything in return. Having said that, SIL shouldn't ask for a gift. A gift should be received, not asked for.

Completely destroy them – the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivitets and Jebusites – as the Lord your God has commanded you. - Bible Deuteronomy 20:16-18

    Make it your rule, right from the start, that they will be sorely mistaken to expect any gift of any kind. In my lifetime, I must have spent close to 100K on gifts and loans to family. What have I received in return? Embezzlement of close 35K the old b*****d father stole from me and not one single "thank you". F**k them all.

    To learn more about what it’s like to deal with an entitled family member and where this behavior comes from, we reached out to a couple of experts on the topic. According to Modern Therapy’s clinician Rachel Garduce, LCSW, “Entitled behavior often originates from upbringing, societal norms, and individual personality traits.”

    “If individuals are consistently favored or their needs were met without effort, they may develop a sense of entitlement. Factors like age, race, and socioeconomic status also shape how others treat them, influencing their entitlement levels and opportunities,” Rachel explained. “Additionally, entitlement can serve as a defense mechanism against insecurity, where individuals seek validation and control to compensate for their own internal doubts.”

    Parents are under NO OBLIGATION to leave any amount of money, sizable or not, to their kids. This selfish, greedy ðick should get nothing, even if an only child. I'd give it to a bum on the street or a good chaity , before id give tf to his crappy kid. My dad died when I was 11 years old. My mom remarried and recently lost him to cancer. My brother's and I have all told mom she doesn't owe us anything, and that she should use some or all her money on herself and enjoy herself. She saved it up, it's hers. Sure, inheriting money would move but it's absolutely not necessary. I'm just glad we still have her, after losing our dad so long ago.

    I worked extremely hard with my family from a young age to care for the aging generations, and I still didn't feel worthy of the small but generous inheritance I got when everyone had passed away. I thought, they'll probably leave me the house, and that will be more than enough, and if they don't, I have a job. But THIS PERSON WANTS WHAT? I would trade every single item, possession, and cent that my family left to me to have them back, even for a short time. You can't put a price on family. Unless you're this guy, I guess.

    We also got in touch with Zencare, an online therapist directory and the simplest way to find your ideal therapist, and Al Hoberman, a New York-based Licensed Creative Arts Therapist and Board Certified Music Therapist, was kind enough to weigh in on the topic. Al noted that, "Entitlement can come across as overconfidence, but turned on its head, we can see it as an expression of some kind of need.”

    “Maybe it’s wanting to feel special, to be cared and provided for, or to know that you’ll be there for them,” the expert explained. “Wanting a lot is a sign that someone feels that they’re lacking a lot, whether they’re fully aware of it or not.”

    In the end, I just left because she had the keys to my house. I changed the locks the next day.

    Some parents find it really hard to let their kids be adults.

    As far as why entitlement is often directed towards family members, Rachel says it might be because of how a person grew up and what they learned from their family. “If their needs were always put first, they might expect the same in adulthood,” she explained. 

    “Cultural norms also play a role. For instance, if a culture values certain family roles, individuals might feel entitled to specific treatment within their families based on those norms,” Rachel added. “These dynamics shape their expectations and perceptions of entitlement within family relationships.”

    My Entitled Aunt Forced Me To Take Care Of My Spoiled Cousin

    My Entitled Aunt Forced Me To Take Care Of My Spoiled Cousin

    My family decided to have a family reunion, and my entitled aunt drove up to me and my roommate's front porch and just dropped my spoiled cousin off. He was there for a week as she wouldn't drive back to get him. In the week that he was there, he threw fits and temper tantrums because we wouldn't bend over backwards for his demands, and we ended up driving him back to his mother's (my aunt) hotel room, and she ended up telling the family I punched her even though that's further from the truth.

    my bio mom would do this. she would surprise us with pets and then when we got bad grades, or she drank too much, or was just having a bad day she would either take it to an animal shelter or dump the poor critter on the side of the road out in the country somewhere. she made us go with her and the poor baby kittens were meowing the whole time. made us take them out of the crate and leave them there. i never wanted another pet as long as i lived with her after that and refused to bond with any animal she brought into the house. she bought me a dog when i was 15 and when she kicked me out at 17, i took my dog with me. we lived out of my car or at friends houses until we had a stable place to go. if i had left him there she would have dumped him. he died in my arms when i was 25 from a brain tumor. he was a good dog and the best friend i ever had.

    There was a story on here last month about a woman who refused a date with the guy who would later become her brother-in-law, and apparently this dude was some kind of psychopath and spent like 15 years biding his time before launching an elaborate plot to convince her husband she was cheating, which ruined the marriage. This mother is the kind of person who would try something like that. Only she probably wouldn't wait 15 years, or be that smart about it. She'd be one of those r/JustNoMIL people who sneak around taking pictures of the husband and then go to her daughter and be like, "I've got evidence he's cheating!" but it's literally just a picture of him eating at a restaurant with a woman, who turns out to be his cousin.

    Al also noted that this entitlement can be a bid for connection. “Just like a young child who is all smiles at daycare and then comes home and has a meltdown, we tend to show our most difficult feelings around people we trust,” the therapist explained. “So if a family member is asking a lot of you, it may be an unconscious way of asking, ‘How much can I lean on you and have you still love me?’”

    “On the other hand, if someone has grown up in an environment where this kind of behavior was rewarded, or they observed it in others, it could be that this is just what feels normal to them,” Al added. “They might not even see it as special treatment, it’s just what they’re used to doing.”

    Parents should take their kids consent seriously. On top of this, I feel bad for all these kids who worry about d**kheads making fun of them for pictures posted online. The image of and striving for "perfection" and the effects it has on these kids' self-esteem is incredibly troubling. Little girls are doing a retinol skin care routine at 10. TEN! I'm tired of this BS. If you're raising a bully, f you. If you put out into the world only photoshopped or carefully curated pictures not indicative of real life, you're part of the problem.

    As a parent, we have to go from sharing photos of our kids on Facebook or whatever for friends and family to enjoy, to having to ask for consent to post them, which is not something we navigated ourselves as young people so it’s a learning curve. With mine I figured that once they were old enough to have a social media account of their own I’d largely just stop posting pics of them (actually I stopped when their friends started having social media accounts, which was before mine did.) I’d never post pics of other people’s kids though, even babies. And I’d never post their pics to something like X that is more open to the public (yes I know anything out there is technically in the open but you have more access to controls with Facebook). We also have to remember that selfies with our kids should not be used as profile pics, no matter how proud we are to show off our babes

    If anyone out there is struggling with family members making you feel guilty for not meeting their demands, both experts recommend setting clear boundaries. “Assertively communicate your needs and limits while understanding and validating their feelings,” Rachel told Bored Panda. 

    “Remember, you're not obliged to fulfill every demand, especially if it harms you or compromises your own well-being. Seeking help from a therapist can guide you in managing family issues effectively. It's crucial to prioritize your well-being and assert your boundaries in these situations,” she explained.

    My Entitled Mother

    My Entitled Mother

    She always felt like she was entitled to see how my body was developing because she was my mother and "created" me. I had no privacy, and I still have problems years later from her barging in on me while I used to shower. I spent most of my childhood feeling deep shame and crying a lot. I didn't realize this wasn't a normal thing till a few years ago (I'm 31 now). Oh yeah, she'd be laughing the whole time, too. I still don't understand what she got out of it.

    wow I thought I was the only one who had a mom who did this. granted mine only did it once but it was still scaring. I was a private kid and at around 12yr old she made me show her my body in the bathroom. took my towel and everything saying she was my mom and she had a right to see my body since she made me. she flung so much guilt at me for not wanting or "trusting" her with being comfortable being naked around her. Im 44 and just now feeling more comfortable in my body and being ok with being nude around my partner. that stuff stays with you.

    WTF wow! When my son had a bicycle accident aged 14, he ended up with little bits of gravel in his leg and groin area. After removing most of the gravel, the doc told us to clean twice a day and look for any gravel that was coming to the surface for a few weeks, and remove with tweezers. This was obviously uncomfortable for both of us but he couldn't do it all himself and I didn't have anyone else he would feel more comfortable with doing it. One evening, the towel he was "covering himself" with slipped a little but and I saw his public hair. He was embarrassed and I felt so bad that I had seen it, but neither of us knew what to say. It was so uncomfortable, I can't imagine any mother wanting to see "that part" of her son become an adult. So wrong.

    “It’s a common misconception that setting boundaries is about getting the other person to do something you want,” Al says. “Actually, it’s about figuring out what your limits are, and deciding how you’re going to respond when they’re crossed. Then, importantly, you communicate that decision ahead of time.”

    “Say I have a parent who keeps giving me unsolicited parenting advice. My first step is to tell them it’s unwelcome, and ask them, firmly but kindly, to stop,” Al suggests. “Next, if they persist, I might say something like, ‘Listen, if you’re really not able to stop, I’m going to end our conversation. We can talk about something else another time.’”

    My Younger Brother Wants Me To Turn On My Hotspot At 4 In The Morning

    My Younger Brother Wants Me To Turn On My Hotspot At 4 In The Morning

    Oftentimes, we make deals where he buys an energy drink or something, and I let him use my hotspot at 9 PM and leave it on during the night. My brother claims that at 2–3 AM, he goes to bed. Last night, I woke up to him spamming me a ton of messages, wanting me to turn it back on at 4 in the morning. This is the last time I’m going to use my hotspot. He’s 15 years old, by the way.

    I mean, apart from the crimes against the english language - which might, MIGHT be due to autocorrect - she's not wrong. We build immunity by being exposed to viruses. Which is EXACTLY what vaccination does, with the added benefit of the virus being dead, inactive, or otherwise rendered (mostly) harmless, so our immune system can train to fight it without going through the actual infection. She knows the first part. If she new the second part, she should be pro-vax.

My husband ended up in hospital this January with pneumonia and empyema after catching flu - we both have the vaccine every year. When the hospital ran tests they told us that his variant wasn't included in the quadrivalent flu vaccine for 2023/24 winter.

    I worked at Lowes when they tightened the rules for the discount to military person + spouse + dependent children only. You would not believe the entitled temper tantrums fron 2nd cousins twice removed that had been mooching their relative's discount. I'm the child of a 2-tour Vietnam veteran whose fatal illness was linked to the chemicals he was exposed to over there, and I had to listen to these yahoos rant that they were OWED a 10% discount for cousin Eddie's/ step-uncle Fred's service. Unbelievable.

    As the wife of a veteran, who doesn’t get or expect military discounts, I think you need to talk to your father-in-law and ask him how he feels about you stealing his honor.

    There's nothing hard to comprehend here, a private company wants to give a discount to veterans whenever they shop and that's the company's prerogative. The US, as a whole, also has Veteran's Day to celebrate all service members. AU and NZ companies could give vets a year round discount too as a way to say thanks but choose not to. A thank you to vets just one day a year is good enough for those countries, so what if another country says thank you 365 days of the year?

    “Entitlement is a complex issue and shows up in different ways and situations. Dealing with it means understanding yourself, setting boundaries, and talking openly with others,” Rachel shared. “It's also helpful to figure out why you feel entitled or why those around you feel entitled, as it expands your self-awareness or your understanding of others. It can enhance your relationships with people. By working on these things, you can handle entitlement in a positive way and improve your connections with others.”

    My Aunt (Very Low Contact) Continues To Ask To Spend The Night At My And My Boyfriend’s Place After Openly Attacking Us At A Party She Wasn’t Even Invited To

    My Aunt (Very Low Contact) Continues To Ask To Spend The Night At My And My Boyfriend’s Place After Openly Attacking Us At A Party She Wasn’t Even Invited To

    My aunt showed up to my family’s New Year’s feast at my parent's house completely uninvited. She has purposely not been invited the past few years because of some particular nasty or toxic behavior she’s shown at New Year's feasts in the past.
    Our relationship hasn’t been great for a while since she has become a lot more angry and intense over the past few years as compared to the fun-loving aunt I grew up knowing.
    It’s also not like she can’t afford a hotel room for the night since she and her husband are incredibly well-off financially.

    Texts From My Sister When I Already Had Plans And Couldn’t Watch Her Kid

    Texts From My Sister When I Already Had Plans And Couldn’t Watch Her Kid

    We both live at my grandma's house. I work nights (7 PM - 3:30 AM), and she works days. I told her I could be free after 2 PM to help our grandma with my niece if needed. I made plans for a weekend a week in advance, and she texted me at almost 2 AM to tell me she worked at 10 AM and needed me to watch my niece. I told her I wasn't going to be home because I had plans that weekend. This was her response. I chose not to engage because, in the past, engaging when she was like this just led to telling me what a horrible person I am.

    No, it's not "toxic". Sure, teens generally don't want to spend time with their parents, and it's part of the parenting job to accept and adapt to that. But it's not "toxic" to feel hurt at being ignored and unwanted except as a free accommodation, food and laundry provider. And it looks like OP feels the parents they don't want to be with should be obligated to fund them through college, too.

    Emancipate. If you move out and support yourself you will be eligible for more student aid. I went through that because they take your parents' income into account when calculating your eligibility. My father didn't want to take out any loans so I couldn't go at 18. When I was 34 and applied for aid I was eligible for alot of help. Plus, if your mother is this kind of clingy, moving out would give you freedom from that.

    That's like when my parents dragged me to my stepsister's for Xmas one year when I had strep. I had started antibiotics still felt horrible and had a fever. I just remember sitting in a chair not talking at all because my throat hurt and wishing for death. So fun to be part of the family holiday.

    My inlaws drag the sick nieces and Nephews EVERYWHERE. Heaven forbid they pass out sad and unwell in their own bed or couch at home when they can lay out on the couch in the middle of a family gathering with a bunch of other kids around...

    Me, my kid, and my sibling all got sick with something over the summer that was taking a long time to get over. Our mom, already knowing we were sick, texted us one day and asked my sibling and I to go clean our heat pump filters in case that's why we were actually sick, because she wanted to come visit each of us that day. I reminded her that we at our house had just gotten a new heat pump installed a few weeks ago, so the filter hadn't had time to get dirty yet. She said "Do it for me anyway. I get to ask because it's Grandparents day today" We had a back and forth, ending in my saying "No we're not checking the filter, we are actually sick." And she said "I'm coming over anyway, sick or not ;) I'll wear a mask to make you feel better" She did in fact come over. She's grown so weirdly pushy it's thrown us for quite a loop.

    My in laws never turn down an opportunity to go to an event, meal, or any get together - no matter how sick they may be. I finally lost it when my MIL and FIL showed up sick to dinner knowing I was going to visit my elderly parents later that week - I explained the danger they were putting my parents in and I told them they were never to show up sick to anything I am attending ever again. It didn't work they all continued to get together no matter what, even during Covid because "it is family" but my husband and I just continue to ask if anyone is sick before we go and/or leave if we show up and someone is ill.

    Being a recovering addicit (5 years) i would have loved that opportunity! Obviously this person just wants to manipulate their family. By the way the private and expensive rehabs have the same type of people. No matter what kind of Rehabilitation Center is chosen, the person who's going has to want it.

    True. She is not ready to come clean, she just wants a phone and most likely money aswell. Helping her with that is not going to do anything towards getting clean. Been there done that, still ashamed of myself. 10 years clean.

    Before anything else, they're still people. Humans even. No, not all addicts are the same. But, when treated like some generic cutout of an addict, there's no reason to act any different, it won't be noticed anyway. Same with "they've got to hit rock bottom" - if EVERYBODY around them acts as if that was necessary, it becomes so, and only reinforces their prejudice further. What if ... if an addict was treated like the person they still are, and said addict, aside from swallowing a few pills a day or so, what if that person acts like a person, still? That cousin, probably, will still suck, no matter how sober they are - sobriety can't replace decency in a person. Drugs may dig out the worst in people, but whatever is surfaced there, was there before and will remain afterwards.

    It is so much harder than that, a lot of the time. You see someone you've known most of their life, someone who was kind, smart and good become somebody else, entirely. And you want to believe that other person is still in there. Sadly, a lot of the time, no amount of hope or good intentions will help until they... hit the bottom. But I get why people go to such lengths trying to get their loved one back.

    Guilt Tripping Me For Not Being Able To Spend $130 On A Mother's Day Gift

    Guilt Tripping Me For Not Being Able To Spend $130 On A Mother's Day Gift

    My mother has become increasingly greedy about gifts since I started making money. But I asked her for a vacuum cleaner for Christmas, and she told me I was crazy for asking for such an expensive gift. To be fair she did get me one, but she made a big deal about me asking for it. I feel like she always finds the most expensive thing she can and asks me for it.

    And people called me "selfish" for saying years ago, "don't buy me presents anymore, I'm not buying anyone else presents". The first year they got pi$$y because they ignored it and gave me something after I said not to. The second and subsequent years, they thanked me for saving them the hassle and expense, NOT having to buy me anything. It didn't affect any relationships.

So looking at what I could see (brands) socks, weber, lotion, Keez Beez hot sauce ... at least $150, not sure about the dreidel or the things to the far left - and not sure what the HECK she blacked out - that is still a very nice gift!

    I used to know someone who always had to one-up. Whatever you were suffering, she had it a hundred times worse. Whatever you were celebrating, hers was a hundred times better. I stopped hanging around her a couple decades ago.

    So what?! Nobody cares about your great grandson. This is about that fresh little munchkin. Some people just cannot let others have to he spotlight for even a day. 🙄 pathetic. Imagine what she’s like to deal with in person.:

    That and I'm not sure why anyone fails to also have Multifactor Authentication enabled these days as well, especially for apps with access to money. Does cash app not have this option?

    What should Cash App support do exactly? Your phone, which you left on/without password/without Cash app password/easy password/shared password, is your responsibility. Sister's action was not okay, but as long as you cannot prove it wasn't you, or you left your (virtual) money unprotected, they won't help. Read the contract you signed with a click on "Read and agreed".

    Why wasn't your phone or app password protected? No wonder support won't help you.

    password/fingerprint security? I mean, if she/he'd lost their phone, it would otherwise be open season.

    When I was sixteen my friend and I lightened our brown bangs with some peroxide. We want to have blonde streaks in our bangs but it just made them a little lighter brown. My mother acted as if she saw me advertising myself as a prostitute or a drug dealer. She told me she was going to dye it back before anyone saw me because they'd think I was cheap. All of the blonde girls in my highschool had dyed hair! Mine was only lightened slightly. A few months later one of her favourite women's tv hosts had lightened bangs and suddenly she thought I was a trendsetter. I never forgot that she treated me like a whore.

    That's a way over-dramatic run-on sentence for something that is not a big deal.

    It’s a small hole ffs. My daughter asked for hers to be done for 2 years. I said no, dad said it’s her body so it’s her choice. I took her to get it done and dad went ballistic. Apparently he meant she could get it done when she was 18. Told him to be more specific when trying to be the favourite parent.

    I personally detest body piercings and can't understand why anyone would have it done. However, it's the daughter's right to do what she wants and the mother is going off the deep end with her ravings.
