Ah, family. Can’t live with ‘em, can’t live without 'em, right? They’re supposed to be there to provide unconditional love and support us any time we need help, and in turn, we are expected to do the same. Sometimes, however, our relatives have a hard time understanding that just because we’re family does not mean that we can be taken advantage of.

Below, we’ve gathered some of the most obnoxious examples of family members being entitled, from the Choosing Beggars subreddit, that might make you appreciate your own family a whole lot more. Be sure to upvote the posts that you find particularly ridiculous, and let us know in the comments if any of your relatives have ever been choosy beggars.

Then if you’re interested in seeing even more of these annoying family members that you'll be thankful you don't have to celebrate the holidays with, you can find Bored Panda’s last article on the same topic right here.

As an avid knitter and crocheter, this makes me livid. The amount of time it takes to craft a bedspread is obviously not understood by this ignorant woman. I'm sure the DIL considered it a thoughtful gesture.

    SIL once asked us to buy a $250 “art supplies kit” for her 5yo for Christmas. We had no kids and bought gifts for 18 nieces & nephews plus their 5 sets of parents. We rarely got anything in the way of gifts from any of them. That was the year we said screw it. We said thanks for the suggestion, gave every kid a $20 gift card to B&N, and announced that we’d no longer be buying for anyone over the age of 18.

    Think of all the strangers we tell children are allowed to sneak into their house/bedroom. It's no wonder some kids get freaked out every now and then. I used to be afraid that if I slept with my mouth open the tooth fairy would steal all my teeth.
