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!
pico diablo 2 years ago (edited)
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.

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.

Asking For Christmas Help

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
Nikki Sevven 2 years ago
'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
GoGoPDX 2 years ago (edited)
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.

Wants Art But Has Parents In The Hospital And Kids To Feed???
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.

Teachers already do half the work raising other peoples' children, they're salary is garbage, a bunch of that salary goes back into the classroom in the form of supplies, books, and buying snacks for these children that are not their's...the audacity a stranger would have to approach their child's teacher to ask them to give even MORE?!? I wish it was legal to crack these types of people in their head with a hammer.

I feel bad for this child that her mother is completely insane. When I was a professional nanny my rates started at $20 an hour. And this nut job thinks $175 a week is too expensive?? Plus no one is going to work with those ridiculous demands or even read this crazy rant.
BlueEyesWhiteDragon 2 years ago
Yeah, I got to that part and it redeemed her a little for me. But, just because she's apparently willing to be low-balled because she likes her company and coworkers by $3/hr don't mean she gets to low-ball a baby sitter by just about that same amount.

Local Babysitting Group, ~$2/Hour Opportunity!!
Rebelliousslug 2 years ago
I would love to see the explanation. Obviously, you won’t be getting a full nights sleep because of something going on with the kid. And whatever it is happens consistently enough that the parents cannot handle it themselves so I’m guessing awake every night for extended periods. So they’re basically looking for a night nanny.
