It’s well known that beggars can’t be choosers. But as you probably already know, the opposite happens too.

In the minds of choosing beggars, they feel more entitled to things than the rest of us. While we stand in lines, they go straight, while we pay for a purchase or service, they think they can get it for free. Don’t ask how come it’s fair, because it’s not!

And there’s a whole corner of Reddit dedicated to sharing such infuriating examples, known as the Choosingbeggars subreddit. This time, we take a look into the cases when parents get desperate for things and try to use their kids to gain things free of charge or with a hefty discount. Scroll down through the posts and let us know your thoughts in the comment section!

"You look fine" - that was probably the worst thing that person said. Guess what - pain is invisible.

Whether we like it or not, our parents plant mental and emotional seeds in us. These seeds grow as we do. In some families, they are seeds of love, respect and independence. In other families, it’s fear, guilt, obligation and toxic mentality.

So while it may be hard to wrap your head around why exactly some parents use their kids to get special treatment, this often happens with controlling parents. Controlling parents tend to be anxious, paranoid and possessive. They like taking things into their hands and knowing what’s best for their kids. Sometimes that means they don’t allow their kids to nurture their personalities and forbid them from taking interest in things, like playing guitar or joining a soccer team at school.

Susan Petang from The Quiet Zone Coaching, a certified life coach, told Bored Panda that hobbies give us a release from the responsibilities we all have. “They allow us to blow off steam, grow our curiosity and intellect, and can even lead to career paths that will be joyful instead of monotonous.” Her advice to parents is to encourage their children's hobbies because the lesson that hobbies teach us is one of self-care.

Susan also explained that as our children grow, they slowly start to separate from us. For controlling parents, this may be a particularly challenging time. “From the 'Terrible Twos' to the pains of adolescence, the purpose of the journey is to teach our kids how to be independent, happy, and healthy adults who give something to the world around them.”

However, the life coach warns that if you're making all the decisions for your children, they're not learning how to make decisions for themselves. “You're not going to be around forever to advise and guide them; they have to learn to do it alone.”

"My Kid Hasn't Eaten Since Yesterday"

megoon- Report

Kristen Brown, a spiritual and empowerment author, life coach and mentor, argues that “it is imperative to set appropriate boundaries with those who are draining our energy, disrespecting our lines, minimizing our value or attempting to control all aspects of our lives - even when it's our parents.” No wonder that kids, after growing up with toxic families, choose to emotionally detach from them as they get older.

Moreover, pathologies of families are carried through the generations until someone (and it's probably you) decides, "It ends here!!", Kristen argues. “Somewhere in the midst of your dysfunctional family, you knew in your soul this is not right and it desperately needs to change.” This is what she calls a pioneer spirit which drives us to speak up. “You may be the first and only one who ever speaks up. However, your boundary setting could be the very thing to open their eyes to this destructive pattern and heal it once and for all.”

This has nothing to do with the post: I remember my teacher giving me a white, grey, and brown crayon to color my Christmas Tree craft when I was in third grade. The craft was supposed to be a gift to our mothers. I still have the artwork. I remember watching her pick the colors for each of us out of a box. When she rolled three crayons towards me, grey, brown, and white, all the little kids looked sad for me, as if I was the unchosen one. Joke's on her, because my mama loved that bleak tree!

If your son isn't concerned about his gender identity, why is he having a tantrum over purple? Sounds as if the kid and the parents are wildly insecure about "gender identity" if a purple marker is a trigger. Can't wait to see how the kid turns out. Getting a head start on toxic masculinity

Aside from the sheer bigotry, that person comes across as totally unhinged. They keep on repeating themselves, write in all caps, and throw in random ellipses and other punctuation for no rhyme or reason. Perhaps they're having a stroke, which would be a first "PARENT SUFFERS STROKE AFTER HEARING THAT THEIR MALE PROGENY WAS OFFERED PURPLE MARKER IN SCHOOL. Doctors think that there may be brain damage, but the family states that the person has always been like that".

Many years ago, my Kindergarten class and the 1st grade class next door to me did PE together. One 1st grade boy definitely had a "girls aren't as good as boys" attitude that irritated his teacher and me no end. One day we got out the Nerf footballs, and my colleague mentioned that he was being particularly nasty toward girls that day. Did I have a girl that I could pair him with who could teach him a lesson? I did indeed. He got pissy about having a girl for a partner, but I told him to hush, and to stand some distance away. Then I told her that we wanted her to show him girls COULD play, and to throw that ball as far and as hard as she could. She hit him dead in the chest with a beautiful spiral pass. Shut him up but good. One of my proudest moments. She still remembers it too, and she's in high school now. (And is a damn good softball catcher, she'll make a name for herself!)

I'm on the fence about this one. I mean using colors for a picture be it purple or blue shouldn't matter. But i mean if the kid decided he didn't want purple then the teacher should have just given him a color he liked..i don't think gender would have anything to do with it. on the other hand purple is a neutral color and the mom needs to take a nap.

I think home schooling is in your son’s future…. To spare any other teachers from having their time waisted from a “parent” like you. Boy/girl colors ? Pastel colors for babies started in the mid 1800’s. Pink only became considered a girl’s color in the early 1900’s. Of all the things a parent could take the time to teach. On the other hand I hope the kid stays in school, If only to keep the him from spending time “learning” things from his parents.

No, this kind of weird gender stereotype is why so many kids are gender confused. You can be a boy and like pink. You can be a girl and like camo. You can be a boy and do ballet. You can be a girl and go hunting or whatever US people think is the manly equivalent of ballet. You can be a male nurse, you can be a female construction worker. You can be a stay at home dad, you can be a CEO mum. If there's so much fuss about why so many kids think they might be trans or non-binary, have a look at the stereotypes they have around them. The stronger and narrower the stereotypes, the more a kid who likes the 'wrong' things is going to be confused about their identity.

With kindergarten teachers today being upset they can't talk to 5 year olds about their sex lives anything is possible. It's really sad that democrats want to indoctrinate small children into accepting pedophilia. South Park did an episode about Catholic priest where the priest said the the church doesn't have a kid toucher problem they had a kid telling on them problem. Totally describes todays democrat/socialist/communist.

Did anyone notice that conservatives went absolutely insane about school being out for Covid? They literally do not want to raise their own children. And that's why their kids always turn out so badly.

I would buy this man a cutlery set for every holiday for the rest of his life if he were my father. The weirdest, most unsellable set I could find. I would revel at the frustration in his eyes with every unwrapping.

There are people who would KILL for free childcare and this person won't do it because of some paperwork?! LAZY AF.
