30 Infuriating Encounters With Parents Who Think They’re Above Everyone Else (New Pics)
Beggars can’t be choosers, or so the conventional wisdom goes. But what if one wanted to forgo not just conventional wisdom, but common sense in general? Parents can go a little crazy over their kids, but some take entitlement, demands, and absurdity to a new level.
This internet group gathers the most egregious examples of absurd entitlement and we’ve picked the best examples of parents in particular. Unfortunately, many adults think that just the fact that they have kids entitles them to special treatment and free stuff. When this delusion collides with reality, sparks can fly, so scroll down and get ready to roll your eyes at the most bizarre things parents have demanded without any real justification.

What A Deal! Yoy Can Earn 52¢/Hour!
Fixing the post ... $25 (per day) ÷ 13 hours = $1.92/hr. ... ... The OP mistakenly divided 13 by 25 ... ... ... [Edit: This assumes a 5 day work week, ... but even if it was only for one day of work, $125 for 13 hours is $9.62/hr. which is less than minimum wage in 34 U.S. states.]
All these stories fall into the broader category of ‘choosing beggars,’ people who don’t seem to have the means to get what they want but will also turn down a good deal just because it isn’t perfect for them. On the surface, there is a sort of logic at play. Imagine going to a food court and asking every single table for a free meal. The vast majority will, at best tell you ‘no,’ some will probably flip you off and call you crazy. But you don’t need everyone to give you a free meal, just one person.
So by attempting this sort of ridiculous strategy at scale, you might find at least one person who will give you what you want. This is perhaps annoying to most of us since the average person wants to be helpful and polite and will feel bad for saying no. But it’s generally a waste of time that could be used to find or acquire the cash to just buy a meal yourself. In this article, we have a special breed of choosing beggars, not one that is playing the odds, but one that, for some undiscernible reason, thinks they are entitled to some sort of special treatment.

I seriously couldn't handle this much entitlement. Something would snap and I'd try to set her ego on fire. Metaphorically or physically.
But Muh Kids Birthday
Love It When They Get Called Out
The common thread is that all of these are parents. And not just normal parents, but deeply entitled parents. This combination can be amusing from a distance, but deeply annoying if one has to deal with them up close. Studies show that entitlement is associated with poorer social engagement, more inappropriate behavior, and, most importantly, decreased emotional regulation strategies. If we can be permitted to flip the logic here, people who are socially inept might not even understand just how entitled they are acting.

The origins of entitlement are pretty varied. Some use it as a bizarre coping mechanism to counter the fact that they haven’t gotten what they wanted in life. If we romanticize a belief in karma or cosmic justice, people who are down on their luck might believe that the universe, or more specifically a Facebook marketplace seller, owes them something. This is never actually the case, but it leads to a cycle where they think they are mistreated, leading to more entitlement. The engine for this whole psychology is simply delusions.

This Grown Man Whining About A Baby Sitter That Asks For 3 Dollars An Hour
'Babysitting' is when you're there for a couple hours while the parents go out to dinner. If it's M-F from early morning to late afternoon, it's daycare.
On the other hand, people who grew up spoiled internalize the idea that they just deserve special treatment and struggle to comprehend that random people who don’t know them aren’t going to just hand over items or large discounts. We can all relate to the disappointment of not getting what you want, but most well-adjusted adults also understand that it’s generally the default setting. I wake up with the desire for a four-month paid vacation pretty much every day, but I don’t lose my mind when it doesn’t just materialize out of thin air for me.

This Choosing Entitled Parent Wantz Zoo Staff To W*nk Of An Elephant.. An Actual Elephant!... So Her Child Doesn't Ask Questions
Why are parents so freaked out about talking to their kids about bodies, sex, and stuff that is natural and part of life? Any question my Son has ever asked, we and we have given an age appropriate honest answer. We want him to grow up with the correct knowledge, trust us, and feel comfortable talking to us, so when he is older, he can feel will be more likely to talk to us about this stuff. Why would it be so hard to just say " that is the elephant"s penis" A 3 year old knowing what a penis, testicles, vagina, vulva, etc. is is not a bad thing.
She Would Probably Not Pay Either
It’s not just internet users that suffer from aggressive and entitled parents, research suggests that their children, the ‘card’ these adults often play, also end up doing worse. Parental engagement around the house tends to bring positive effects, but parental engagement at the child’s school was connected to lower academic performance. Potentially worse, the wrong kind of parental engagement also teaches this entitlement to the kids, who will no doubt then embody it in the future.

Add in the general ignorance of everyday life and you get people who think fifty dollars is enough for a week's worth of work with kids, that gaming systems should just be free, and next-day home delivery of items that they demand a 90% discount on. The cocktail of deranged and entitled does create some potent viewing experiences, but one can’t help but feel bad for the individuals who have to deal with these people. Even worse, the kids that will be raised by them in the fantasy world where one can get expensive items free of charge based on the concept of cosmic justice.

I was shocked at that age. Course if she wants 20% of his allowance it isn't much.

So she wants to naturally conceive a baby with an underage boy, he forfeits all parental rights, but has to pay 20% of his income for the kid. I seem to have lost my ability to do math because this sure doesn’t add up.
Oh no don't worry , the maths isnt wrong but the woman is

Wait 'til this pedophile finds out what the income of the child is. And what the punishment is for banging kids (assuming you're not a rich, white man).
You say that but the would be mum could just as easily be a 17 year old themselves.

You will remain completely anonymous throughout the child's 18 years of life. What, she's going to murder the child when it hits 18?
So, 20% of your income for the next 18 years? THAT is one expensive whore.
Forfeit all parental rights and still pay child support? Not in the USA! And 16 WOW!
Heh, if you forfeit your rights you don't have to pay child support. Maybe do your research before being a twât
I'm not sure where you are (maybe not US), but in the US, relinquishing your rights to a child does not guarantee that there is no child support. Ultimately a judge gets to decide that. Source: I dated a guy who had relinquished parental rights (him and the mother) to the maternal grandmother due to their age and lack of responsibility (I wasn't aware of this when we started dating). The grandmother just asked the courts for him to relinquish rights with no support, the judge decided there should be support and thus, there was...but only from him, not the mother. A simple google search will show the same if you look at .gov sites or other reputable sources.

She wants sex, a baby, and child support. Millions of women in the world are only getting 2 out of 3 even with a court order, and she thinks she'll get it all by advertising?
So she wants to rayp an underage boy, then have him pay 20% of his non existent income and then kill the child off after 18 years? Someone definitely shouldn't be breeding
So you want a sperm donor to sign away all parental rights yet still pay child support. Doesn't work that way.
Very much hoping that 16 is legal in the country this person is in…
the blonde or light brown hair made me feel weird. do people actual prefer the color of a donor's hair color or weight?? or are people just wanting the 'perfect' looking child?
I remember that being a thing in the 80s/90s, when I was a teenager and became aware that sperm donation was a thing. People looked for hair/eye color (skin color too), height, weight, build, level of intelligence, degrees/careers, and a plethora of relatively uncontrollable personality traits. So bizarre.

“Throughout the child’s 18 years of life.” It’s your birthday, Timmy. Happy 18th *pulls out shotgun* sorry pal…
Translation: "I am offering some young (and terminally dumb) hottie the privilege of having sex with me, no strings attached, for as many times as it takes to produce a baby, after which you will f-off and pay me for 18 years but get no further benefits, not even knowing your child or admitting you have one." Yeah, that sounds like a sweetheart deal for sure. The sad part of all this? She probably WILL find someone that young who is horny enough to take that offer and regret it later, thinking they can dodge the CS. The one saving grace here, is that if she waits until birth to get him to sign away his rights, he can change his mind and not sign at all. And it would serve her right.
If parental rights are terminated, so is child support obligation. How do I know? I'm the child of a father who couldn't be bothered to pay $50/week in the 1980s. Eventually, my mother took him to court to revoke his parental rights. (Not just for that, but he failed in many other ways.)
That's not how it always work - dated a guy long ago that was paying support for his daughter after forfeiting his right to the maternal grandmother. She didn't even ask the courts for support, but they imposed it anyways - but not on the mother of the child (who had also forfeited her rights). Difference is it sounds like his rights were revoked, whereas this guys were relinquished/forfeited and maybe that slight change of terminology made the difference?

I lost it at “American background” I guess she doesn’t know how America works
I think she's trying to say she wants the sperm donor/statutory rape victim to be mostly caucasian without actually saying it.

This thread had me feeling stressed, gobsmacked and horror-filled (re: the babysitting ones). It was like watching a car crash and being unable to look away... 😲
To quote one of the posts, "These beggars be choosing"
Only got about a third of the way through this. Many of these are laughably fake, and the rest are just showing people being lousy humans. No thanks.
Agreed. Most of these are fake. The earlier versions circulating on other sites are better and more believable
