Welcome to r/EntitledKids! The subreddit where people share stories about all the spoiled and whiny children they encounter. It's hard to accurately describe its menu, but here you will find a range of behaviors that vary from small daily displays of spoiled-ness (trying to blow out your sibling's candles on their birthday) to full-on schemes (ordering $300 worth of toys without your parents knowing) that are supposed to get the world dancing according to your tune. Here are some of the all-time most-upvoted posts you can find on the sub!

Saw This On Facebook Today, Made Me Giggle A Bit
Parenting expert Amy McCready calls this type of behavior “The Me, Me, Me Epidemic,” and believes it happens in tiny little ways every single day, even when parents aren't conscious of it.
"We've all known kids (maybe even in our own families) who feel entitled to have things go their way, who expect the best of life without rolling up their sleeves, and for whom gratitude is not a part of their attitude," McCready wrote in TODAY.
"While these kids can be hard to live with now, over-entitled kids eventually become high-maintenance employees and demanding spouses with the same childish attitudes, only on a greater scale. It’s a big problem because kids who feel entitled to call the shots all the time are unable to handle it when things don’t go their way (like here in the real world)."
The good news? She says it's totally curable.

Nice Try Kiddo
"While we can point fingers and blame social media, reality TV, and a host of other outside influences, one of the biggest factors in the spread of this 'epidemic' is us — the parents," McCready explained.
Of course, moms and dads want the best for their kids and none of them intend to raise an entitled child, but McCready believes that often in their loving attempts to do the best for their little ones, people over-parent.
"We over-indulge, over-praise, and mow down any obstacle in their path with ninja-like swiftness. And when we do? We rob kids of the opportunity to do for themselves, learn from mistakes, or overcome adversity."

Kids Smash Glass Artwork Whole Parents Stand Back And Film
Stupid parents. There are those rope barriers There for a reason.

This is so sad :( In fact children can be so understanding if you explain them in a true way.. This is all their parent’s fault for not teaching them such simple life rules
I HATE wen people do this. I am an artist and I feel for the time and effort the artist put in to it. For a little brat to smash it is just mean and it pisses me of.
Same. I do a lot of ceramic artwork, and people like this (as well as folks who steal artwork) are the reason I was so reluctant to have my art displayed a few years back. Thankfully, nobody messed with it in ways they shouldn't, but still.

Not really the kids in this situation alone...huge blame to the parents also.
They should be charged with criminal mischief... at least a HUGE fine, and probation, to make sure the parents are starting to understand that they're parents.
I am so happy to hear this. I hope you don't have to go to the trouble and expense of a trial...hopefully the loser parents will realize they wont fare well in court, and just pay up (probably thinking that you're mean for not seeing how cute little Pugsley was being)

This kinda reminds me of those 2 parents that weren't watching their child as it made it's way into the gorilla habitat at that zoo in Ohio.
Oh no this is horrible! Why are they even allowing children into a glass museum?
Because it is assumed that the majority of parents control their kids and have taught them right from wrong. Unfortunately that's not always the case but it's unfair to assume all kids are bad because some have crappy parents.

This isn't about entitled kids, this is about parents, who for some reason, can't be bothered with actually parenting their children. I would be right down there at eye level with my son, explaining the importance of being respectful of other peoples things, ESPECIALLY irreplaceable ones that you might find at a museum. If that didn't work, I would physically carry him out of there, because sometimes kids just don't understand, and you have to remove the temptation. I cannot even imagine standing by and letting him destroy... anything really. Taking a video?? Wow. So unbelievably lazy, and I fear for what kind of person this child will grow up to be having those examples to look to.
that place has a video of that happening as an example to not touch the art
I truly hope that was some.kind of performance art.. otherwise that going to be the most expensive exit thought the giftshot ever..
I hope that piece was quite experience because the parents will be paying that off for a very long time. You break it you pay for it!!
No parental control. No respect for anything. God help the human race
Seriously, what kind of parents are they and what kind of kids are they raising?
Dude that piece may have taken someone over 40 years to perfectly make and you just watch it happen those parents should be ashamed
This isn't a case of "I turned my head away for two seconds". The parents should definitely be blamed in this situation. I hope they were arrested, charged, and made to pay damages.
Reminds me of back at Thanksgiving, where some friends of mine and I went to a cool conservation center/garden thing. We came across 2 kids trying to hit one of the geese while the parents just took a video. I hope the goose bit them, they deserved it -_-.
"Mommy, can we pls DESTROY this art masterpiece?" "Sure honey, but let me get my camera out first. I want to catch every second of this criminal action!"
Stupid parents raise stupid children to become stupid parents that raise stupid children. It's a vicious cycle.
Thankfully there are times when the kids rise above what they came from. It doesn't happen often, but it does happen. Sometimes kids grow up and become amazing people and parents because they realize their parents were s**t and did a s**t job raising them. Usually the people that do change want better for their own kids, or choose to not have kids for fear of raising them how they were raised.

I hope they make the mom pay for it!!!! You broke it you bought it!better yet she should be sued and made an example of!
This is why teams of art gallery, museum security guards work in close proximity of each other-to prevent this from happening.
One can only hope that security caught up with these loser adults on their way out and handed them the choice of payment or jail.
So they're filming proof of the kids' act of vandalism. Brilliant.
WHAT???? They stood by and let the kid break up the glass art? I hope they were made to pay for every bit of it.
A lot of parents don't understand the responsibilities of having children. Like, if you're not prepared for the responsibilities, why bother?
parents enabling children to commit crime, what were those mothers thinking, that its ok, seriously...
Ahh, we can't bring art back..they are significant for a reason. I think the parents need to be taught a lesson since they couldn't teach their kids on the importance of having ropes in museums or the significance and importance of the display. They deserve a very hefty fine.
These people should not have children. They don't know how to raise them. Taking a video while your kids destroy things is not the proper response.
"haha look at little bill! isn't he adorable! I got to film this!"
Clearly this is the museums fault they are using ropes as pretend barriers. If they valued that piece so much they would have protected it like all the museums in NYC do with glass barriers.
That is not only absolutely stupid, or destroying someone’s property, but really dangerous since there is glass
Im a pretty passive person, but i wanna put that child in a headlock rn.
Hopefully they will be able to find a clearer picture of the mom then post it online asking if anyone knows who they are then if they find out prosecute the mothers for criminal damage
Are we sure those two are the parents? It could be one person telling the kids to stop and another filming to provide evidence. Also, although the child definitely should NOT be behind the ropes, there is no evidence here that the art is glass or that anything has been smashed.
Watch your kid. Oh, and by the way, you'll have to pay for that. Just lemme put you into a mental hospital. Thanks!
This is child abuse. The parents are involving their children in a crime and morally corrupting them. I am not sure how old they are, but they really should be taken away, and the parents need to be criminally charged. Those kids deserve better. It’s going to take many years of good parenting (by someone else) to undo whatever moral damage has been done.
They made their own evidence to remove these brats from their custody.
Should have been arrested for enabling vandalism then pay restitution.
I hope the AH parents have to pay 3 times the amount that the s**t of a kid broke! Someone worked very hard at creating that and you think it is funny!? It can't just be recreated!! Parents should also get their a** beat along with the brat child!
man i get so pissed off at stupid m***********g ass parents >:(
I hope the parents were arrested, prosecuted, and forced to BUY the smashed glass art pieces!
I would charge the parents the price of the art work. Many times, art works are worth more than your house.
Shoulda tied the brats WITH the rope. Wtf is wrong with people. Lazy parenting and obnoxious brats.
WTF?? I think we may need to not only beating children but beating parents as well..
Too bad that glass didn’t slash those kids wide open. Mama would’ve been ther when she s**t that turd in the world, and there when it left bleeding and screaming! Too far?
Why the hell parents take kids to museum? I doubt kids are interested in art. And if you have no choice but to take kid with you, you should make sure they behave.
No. This is what happens when people are shitty parents or people who shouldn't have children do. That could be what these parents thought too "well if they cared they'd have security guards". No. This is not the fault of the museum!
Load More Replies...For everyone's sake, McCready suggests considering these five strategies:
1. Expect more and give your kids some credit. "They can and SHOULD make meaningful contributions to the family. Expect your toddlers to teens to do Family Contributions (not “chores”) on a daily basis and expect them to take on increasing amounts of responsibility through the years. After all, they are part of the family and everyone’s contributions matter. When you hold your kids to a higher standard, they WILL meet it — and often exceed it. What they’ll get in return will be life skills they need to head out into the world as happier, more successful and self-sufficient human beings. And you? You get to know that you helped to make that happen. (Way to go!)"

Found This Gem
Sounds Like Someone Needs To Either Stop Playing, Or Get Anger Management...
If that is a child then the parents need to stop buying him TV's or ban him from playing fortnite.
2. Give up on giving in. "Do you ever say YES when you really want to say No? Cave at the candy counter at checkout? Pacify with the treat when your kid is throwing a fit? It’s time to turn over a new leaf and have the courage to say “NO” and mean it! You’ll teach your kids that life won’t always go their way and that’s OK. You’ll be establishing — and sticking — to healthy boundaries. And your little ones and big ones will learn that fit-throwing, eye-rolling, and pouting isn’t going to do the trick. Now, for all of you who struggle with this — repeat after me: I’m NOT being a bad guy — I’m being a good PARENT. You can do this!"

I would have tried to return them or donated them just to teach a lesson. Although I'm curious to know how kids are purchasing things online? If a child can do it, what's stopping others who may get hold of your phone. Not very secure.
3. Hand over the reins. "Every time we rescue our kids from their mistakes, intervene on their behalf, or smooth the way so things are easier for them, we rob them of a learning opportunity — the chance to be responsible, to figure it out for themselves, or to face a scary situation. Little by little they just stop trying. It’s time to hand over the reins to their rightful owner. Instead of rushing the homework to school so your kids don’t get in trouble, let them know with love (and plenty of training so they can be successful) that it’s their responsibility to remember what they need each day."
Instead, let them know that having their own conversations with teachers, coaches, and peers about issues that arise is a powerful part of growing up. "You can help prepare them by role-playing so THEY can have respectful conversations and learn problem-solving skills," McCready said.
"Trust in your kids’ ability and turn over the reins so they can learn from their successes and failures. You’ll be there to support them — but they’ll feel so much more empowered by handling things on their own without you intervening or rescuing."

This Happened A While Ago, Still Not Really Sure If This Person Was Messing With Me Or Not
4. Shut down the ATM. "Instant gratification is king in today’s society. 'I want it, I get it. Now.' The best way to fight this phenomenon with our kids is to stop handing over $20 whenever they ask for it."
"Set a specific allowance amount per week and a list of expenses your child is now responsible to cover. Little kids can use allowance for 'treats' when they go to the store, big kids can be responsible for school lunches, school clothing, and entertainment. Allowance is an essential tool to teach delayed gratification and fiscal responsibility — how to spend wisely, save, budget, and give charitably. How will our kids be successful with a real paycheck and bigger expenses if they don’t learn those important life skills at home? Teach them the tools and help them flourish."

5. Un-center their universe. "The research is clear that those with an 'attitude of gratitude' in life are happier, less depressed, take stress in stride, and see life with healthy optimism. In our over-indulged culture, we know that gratitude takes practice. It’s something we have to teach our kids."
Try to model for kids and let them know the world doesn’t owe anyone anything — we all have to do our part to make it a better place.
"Help kids learn to appreciate their circumstances. When you practice daily gratitude rituals at home, actively seek to do random acts of kindness, and find opportunities to serve others throughout the year (not just during the holidays) — you are helping to set your children and your family on the path to a much more rewarding life," McCready concluded.
Of course, these tips may not solve all your problems. Every child and every situation are different. But they can lead to huge improvements.

It really doesn't take a whole lot of correction to keep your kids from being entitled brats. You only had to do that one freaking time! He learned his lesson. I asked my mom about how she taught us this stuff since I can't even remember a time where I didn't know better. Same as you. We tried to push that boundary once or twice and she just never allowed it. She was very clear that you cannot give in once, especially not the first time they try it. If you do, they'll know they can push you.

I once read a story about how a photographer went to a village somewhere in Africa and took pictures of the people for an article. The children were fascinated by his camera especially when he was able to show them the pictures he had just taken of them on the little digital screen. The next day when the photographer returned he saw the kids posing and laughing in front of another kid who had a cube shaped rock. When the reporter asked what they were doing the mother of one of the kids laughed and said "they're pretending to have their photo taken. One of them found the rock and is pretending to take photos with it and then gives it to one of the others to have a go at pretending to be you taking the photos". The reporter thought it was hilarious. But that's the difference between these cultures. These spoilt brats here are just as their parents made them in a way. The Me me me gimmie gimmie gimmie attitude should be nipped in the bud as soon as it surfaces. Then they will know not to act this way. All the technology is still out there and all kids want it but not all kids are spoilt ungrateful little brats, and that is all to do with how they are brought up. I just think that it's sad that there are kids in this world who are nasty like this and yet on the other side of the world there are kids. who found more joy then they ever did by playing with a rock pretending it was a camera.
I do blame most on the parents, but there comes a time when you give them independence. Some people are just bad, sociopathic and what not.. I thank people like this for outing themselves early..shame. we'll never see Mars

Parents, please make sure your children are actually ok! This is making me mad reading about these unruly hellions because their parents don't know how to be parents!
I told that lil f*cker not to peek out the windows as I unloaded his 8th birthday gift, the year's ultimate toy, Mattel's D-Rex pet dinosaur! As I lifted it out of the trunk, I saw the front curtains part just enough to throw a shaft of light onto the darkened sidewalk. My son was peeking, and saw his surprise gift! The next morning, he sobbed dramatically through the Walmart parking lot as he made his way to the returns desk with the still unopened toy.
The kid that wanted to blow out the candle, I think I've heard that story. The family has a tradition in which all the cousins blow out the candles together. But the birthday boy didn't want to participate, so his father said 'okay'. However, that brat still didn't acknowledge that fact and tried to blow it out, but then cried when he couldn't.
One time I was babysitting a five year old at my house. I refused to give the kid candy, because he was already off the walls hyper. He then wanted to watch Teen Titans. Well, I told him I don't have Cartoon Network on my TV. I went to the restroom and was gone for all of maybe 7 minutes. In that time, the kid slashed my ballet shoes (which cost about 90 dollars) ripped my tutu (which cost around 130 dollars, it was my costume) and was about to snap my Mardi Gras mask in half (40 dollars) when I caught him. I immediately called his parents, and then when his mother did come, she blamed me. You know why? The kid's explanation was "She told me to sit on the floor and stay there for hours!! She also didn't let me eat!!" Not true. I gave him crackers, and a whole entire meal. I also let him watch Star Wars for six hours, which he loved the whole time.
I was a horrible, entitled, child and teenager. It wasn't my parents fault, or mine, it's just how I processed the world around me (thanks internet) and my own emotions. The good news is that I - and most grown up brats I know - am a much better adult, having experienced how destructive negative attitudes are (and my parents still love me).
My daughter is like one of these kids. I don’t give in. For example if she wants 2 sweets and I say 1. It’s very hard though. She goes to about midnight or more. Won’t stop. She throws things hits us all and her language. And her dad just got her a phone for Xmas. Not any discussion. Nothing. She’s on TikTok Snapchat everything. I’m furious. She’s been a nasty child since coming back. He had them this year.
Don't wait to start putting limits on your kids' behavior. Start when they are toddlers and don't give into the tantrums. Not ever.
Are these really, really, really real? What about their parents? Are they wet floor cloths, or what? IF these are genuine stories, I think we'd better prepare to have ourselves an overpopulation of psychopaths the very near future...
Oh wow I know times has changed and the lessons from my childhood would be absolutely illegal but dayum! If I pulled any of these stunts as a kid, I would probably get slapped so hard I'll be eating out of a straw for a month. And then there is the leather belt whipping.
I don't think you necessarily need corporal punishment to correct these behaviors. I learned to behave without it. My parents were very consistent in rules and consequences. Those consequences tended to be loss of privileges. Time outs. No TV. Grounding, so no going out with my friends. That sort of thing. I learned at a young age that pitching a fit was going to get me the opposite of what I wanted.
Load More Replies... Please back off the blanket statement. Some people have kids with brain injury or autism or sensory issues, which are neither the parents or the kid’s fault. These people should be allowed out in public. Unless you have walked a mile in my shoes, keep your opinions to yourself. Have you ever been scorned for making a cute little girl dramatically wail (aka rightly punishing her) in public? Sometimes parents just can’t win, no matter how hard we try.
I hear a lot of people say it's all on the parenting. Take a moment and think back to how you thought and behaved when you were 5, 8 or 15. I'll accept that perhaps at under 4 it is the parents, but over that age you are dealing with the expression of the same sociopathic genes of the parent(s), and no amount of empathy and understanding will turn them into healthy people.
I think it may be time to revisit the argument on whether on not people should beat their kids, and we might think about if beating a few parents is acceptable as well..
They will grow up to be the pricks that make the world a f****d up place. Kill ‘em now.
Everyone of these kids need a spanking. No you don't beat them it's called discipline. Parents start when their kid is a baby. How else will they learn respect, morality, empathy. Otherwise they end up like these unreal kids.
Most of these kids need parenting which is not their fault. Some kids who throw 'tantrums' are autistic or have other conditions. It's hard when you have a child who looks 'normal' but will act much younger than their age. Please try not to judge if you don't know.
I think most of these are probably just badly parented “normal“ kids.

Oh wow I know times has changed and the lessons from my childhood would be absolutely illegal but dayum! If I pulled any of these stunts as a kid, I would probably get slapped so hard I'll be eating out of a straw for a month. And then there is the leather belt whipping.
I don't think you necessarily need corporal punishment to correct these behaviors. I learned to behave without it. My parents were very consistent in rules and consequences. Those consequences tended to be loss of privileges. Time outs. No TV. Grounding, so no going out with my friends. That sort of thing. I learned at a young age that pitching a fit was going to get me the opposite of what I wanted.

These people should be allowed out in public. Unless you have walked a mile in my shoes, keep your opinions to yourself. Have you ever been scorned for making a cute little girl dramatically wail (aka rightly punishing her) in public? Sometimes parents just can’t win, no matter how hard we try.
I hear a lot of people say it's all on the parenting. Take a moment and think back to how you thought and behaved when you were 5, 8 or 15. I'll accept that perhaps at under 4 it is the parents, but over that age you are dealing with the expression of the same sociopathic genes of the parent(s), and no amount of empathy and understanding will turn them into healthy people.
I think it may be time to revisit the argument on whether on not people should beat their kids, and we might think about if beating a few parents is acceptable as well..
They will grow up to be the pricks that make the world a f****d up place. Kill ‘em now.
Everyone of these kids need a spanking. No you don't beat them it's called discipline. Parents start when their kid is a baby. How else will they learn respect, morality, empathy. Otherwise they end up like these unreal kids.
Most of these kids need parenting which is not their fault. Some kids who throw 'tantrums' are autistic or have other conditions. It's hard when you have a child who looks 'normal' but will act much younger than their age. Please try not to judge if you don't know.
I think most of these are probably just badly parented “normal“ kids.
