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."

There ought to be some kind of punishment for parents like this. Maybe take their wine and twitter away until they can prove they have control of their little cretins.
It IS ILLEGAL! It's called destruction of private property and the store owner can total up the cost of damaged goods and sue the parents for it. More than $500 in my state is a criminal offense.
Load More Replies...Easy solution, grab a couple of carts, fill them with all the items and invoice he parents. They are okay with the kids playing with the toys, then they bought them.
Yeah if not that’s a destruction of property charge where I’m from you just don’t do stuff like that though......ugh
Load More Replies...I worked in retail..but I've never seen a chaos like this..if you open the box you pay for it..if you damage an item you pay for it..
And above all..I have 2 kids (2y.o and 5 y.o) ..the NEVER touch anything in shop without my consent..I tell them "until we pay it it's not yours ,you will oper it when we are outside the shop" ..no opening of toys , no eating of food.. if a 2 years old can understand it without tantrum every child could.. the few time they tried to make a scene, we left the shop, it lasted very little... and I NEVER leave my children unsupervised...my children, my responsibility
Load More Replies...At first I was just perturbed but then I realized the items were out of their packaging also and now I'm very annoyed.
that looks like (almost) every thrift shop. it's already covered in fecal matter and mucus to begin with... now go back there and organize it again for the 97th time
I have never in my life gone shopping on Black Friday.
Load More Replies...As someone who works retail, there is a smidge of blame to be put on the store. Obviously the workers can't be everywhere monitoring everyone, but the fact they let it get to half that point is a little on them.
That's not the point though! The point is that you don't do that and you don't allow your kid to do that! I've worked retail too and it's exhausting to hunt down every stupid customer that cannot behave
Load More Replies...I do a lot of thrift shopping and have seen aisles like this. It isn't caused by one kid or one family. It is more a chain reaction where one kid didn't put something away, but it isn't a huge mess and no one thinks anything of it. The next kid comes along and starts to play, then another, and because no one put anything away, they don't think they need to either. Enough kids and it eventually culminates into this. My bet is that it took most of the day for the aisle to descend into that chaos.
I’ve definitely been in stores where the huge mess was caused by one family. Usually the parent is just like “go play in the toy section” and the one or two kids decides to pull everything off the shelf.
Load More Replies...Sooooooooo scary that entitled, selfish parents who have no regard or respect for others are raising these type of people! What’s going to happen when these children enter adulthood and become the majority of our society?
I swear there needs to be some sort of application or test in order to be allowed to conceive and be a parent. Some people should definitely not be allowed to have and raise another human being.
a little off-topic fun fact; people used to have to fill out requests for reproduction, to be reviewed by the king. the paperwork, called 'fornication under the consent of the king,' became the beautiful acronym we still use today.
Load More Replies...Keep in mind that this probably isn't one kid, but all the kids over the course of an entire day. Yes your kid should not make a mess/clean up after themselves, but it's unrealistic to expect a parent to clean the whole lane just because their kid walked down it. I've not seen thrift stores like this, but usually Marshall's/ Burlington are disaster zones like this.
I blame parents who let their children do this. And parents should also pay for damaged items.
If i even tried to do that when I was young, I'd be dragged out of the store by my ear. My parents wouldn't let me even roll my eyes at them. Look where I am now though. The parents that let their kids scream and carry on until they get something are ruining their children. Sterner parents are good.
Corral the parent before leaving the store and have them pay for everything. "I didn't do that!" "Your kid was partly responsible and you got caught!" (just like some traffic tickets).
Load More Replies...Goodwill/thrift stores in general looke like this in the toy isle 85% of the time
1. I would spank this kid 2. I would give all of its toys and make her parents pay all that 3. I would throw her in a trash can
There's just one reason I rarely worked for the public. It contains people.
The toy aisle at my drug store looked like this daily and the boss wouldn't let me clean it up; too much time away from other tasks!
I don't understand this at all, much like parents who let their kids trash a restaurant and leave the mess for the staff b/c "it's their job." Everytime I let my son play with toys like this, he picks up. We leave things as we found them and sometimes, in better shape.
This is just poor parenting and a refusal to teach your children to behave. If my sister and I had done this, we would have been in so much trouble.
this basically describes my room when I was 4, and it is literally happening in a store- wow.
We had some lovely little monsters that would come into the library an do this also. Always right before closing after you'd just tidied up and readied things for the next day.
I want to know where the parent were when this was going on, and where the store employees were. If this were my store, the entire family would have been 86ed after the first toy hit the floor.
yep that's kmart, well actually any store with toys, happens more often than you'd expect.
This is due to parents using the toy isle as a babysitter while they shop. Happens at my store all the time.
I have of course broken things by accident as a kid (and adult too ha) but never in a million years would I have thought something like this would be okay..
I feel sorry for those having to tidy it up, I wonder if the parents let their children do this at home. Of course not, so why elsewhere.
I would've asked them to leave. You can't just open the damn toys like that
I used to work at a Walmart in Toys section and my departments assistant manager would always respond to this by informing the parent that they can either clean it up with their kid or he would call assets protection and have them charged with destruction of merchandise and let me tell you LEGOs are not cheap. Best manager I ever worked under.
Are we all in agreement that the perfectly calm child in the middle had probably nothing to do with the shredded toys everywhere? A child that created that much destruction Is not in control, and would likely be on the floor crying after. Also, it appears to be a thrift store? Note how parts for things are in ziploc baggies? Perhaps many children played in the aisle that day, and their entitled PARENTS didn’t require that they clean up.
This has to be a ROSS DRESS FOR LESS in the U.S. I say this because I've personally experienced seeing this chaos in person. I don't understand how parents think it's ok to treat any store as their personal toy bin so they can shop then proceed to leave a disaster in the end. My kids always wanna look at the toys at ROSS and are gobsmacked when they see how the "Toy AISLE " was left before they got to see anything. This just a shame. 😒
I don't know. Kids their age don't really know better in a toy section. If they just cleaned it up, it might be fine.
Here you have to pay for a item if you take it put of the box without asking the employee flrst (include makeup. If you don't see a tester you can't open one yourself without paying for it). I thought it was like that everywhere. I mean it should be. Look at all these toys, taking out of the box, they can't even sell it... The parents of the brat who did this should paid for every single thing AND clean this mess up! WTH is wrong with some parents, where is this okey to do??
Little shits. Makes you wonder how long the parents were in the store and JUST WHAT THE HELL THEY WERE DOING while the kids ran amok. I would have called the cops.
Someone would be hurting really bad and be sore from cleaning up their mess.
This is definitely a thrift store and everything will just be toss d back on shelves, it was already out of boxes etc. This is ridiculous but no way parents should pay.
if i worked there and i saw that, i would simply no longer work there.
I would have quite right on the spot if I had to clean that up
That took a LONG time to do. I have 4 very wild children and we have to work very hard to keep them corralled while we shop-it is a continuous, exhausting effort until they grow out of it, but you just do it and shopping just takes twice as long-that’s how it is with kids. Even so if I spaced out I still can’t imagine them doing this. I can’t imagine how long the child must have been left alone to be able to do this-this person has a neglected child and was not prepared for parenting…
This happens all the time at Ross....I always had to pick up after people who let their kids do this...
Probably just 1 or 2 kids that have a parent that doesn't care because it's not their house.
Whatever kid did this should have been made to spend the entire day cleaning this and should never have been allowed to leave until the job was done well and was checked off by an employee. What lesson did that child learn, ugh.
Sooooo many of these is the Parents not giving 2 shits about what their children are doing
The associate might have tried to stop the rampage but the parent(s) we're probably as basmd as the kid
Who needs to talk to teens about sex? Just show them this picture everyday and tell them "When you have kids, this will be your house every day you come home after 8 hours of work."
I work at a thrift store and once I was putting away toys in the toy section and a little guy, about four, started helping me. I said "Thank you so much for helping." I also think that if we could play "Clean up, Clean up, everybody everywhere," a song we sang when I taught preschoolers in the toy aisle, we'd get some kids to clean.
This is why most games are now in cellophane or plastic packaging. To prevent mini dinosaurs ruining everything!
Ohhhhh you can even ask my daughter No Way in Hell would She have ever even tried that she knew if she did she would never be allowed to go shopping or anywhere with me in public again her choices would have been stay home with a sitter, go to a friend of mine who had 3 daughters older than her so pecking order well established or no one goes until we run out of everything period Good behavior gets rewarded this shhh stuff here nope no tolerance AND I'd ask store management if we could stay and clean it up and if there was a damages bill I would need it itemized and she would have to earn the money (on my cousins farm) to pay for it herself ... kids learn fast when you make them pay for things themselves
My store? I'd make the parents buy ... every ... single ... one of these items, as they are now used...
I volunteer in an op shop, and the toys that are for sale end up like this. Parents tell their horrible children to go down the back and play. Then the parasites all walk out and leave a mess.
I worked at Ross Dress For Less for a short stint, and this is exactly how the toy aisle looked at the end of the day. I hated getting stuck with that section to clean after closing, as it took forever to pick up. Needless to say, I didn't stay with them for very long.
Happened every single day at the Salvation Army thrift store I worked at.
i use to worek in a thrift store and while the mom's shopped the kids just destroyed the toy dept.
Looks like every thrift store mid day and beyond. Bunch of nasty gremlins pulling toys out all day and not putting them back
Parents leave their kids in the toy department when they go off to finish their shopping. It's not a day care center but they don't care...they just have peace and quiet while the kids destroy the toy department. If any department needed locked cabinets this is it. Look but don't touch.
Just noticed the people in the photo. Are they the ones who caused this? I would blow up the photo and post it on the shop window with the words BANNED FROM PREMISES.
Hell no. I would’ve called the cops on the parent and banned her/him and the brats.
I don't understand how that family was allowed to get away with that. Was no one working in the store at the time? I've worked in Retail as well. If you open something, and take the content out of the packaging you are required to buy it. That kind of situation is why stores have managers. Why is everyone so down on thrift stores? I've been in many of them and never seen a mess like that. More like the Dollar store. I have seen some of those stores look about that bad
Of, f*ck no. I'd have those kids picking that stuff up or bar them from the store.
. If they had a security camera there, I would have followed their progress through the store and when they checked out, gotten their information, and sent them a bill with pictures attached with a note 'pay for the damage or see you in court'. I would not have let this one go. I see the little s**t in the picture.
Looks like they dropped the kids off here and left to go shopping, yeah it’s the parents
Some of these things can't be sold anymore and they should pay for them
Lazy ass parents using the toy section for a babysitter while they shop and they don't give a flying flip what their kids do.
My parents would have spanned me soon as I opened the first box, and warned me as soon as I took the second toy off the shelf without putting the first back. These parents know nothing about control either because they are too young to have kids or never were taught. But I agree, catch them in the act and charge the parents
no f*ing way! Hate to be the one to clean it up. I'd make the kid do it.
This is just a picture. To blame the family that is in it, is just ridiculous. Every parent knows, areas like this be it in a shop or library…. Kids are messy .
is that the f*cking firehouse from richard scarry in the middle there
How is the shopkeeper not noticing for that long? Looks like a 9.0 earthquake just happened,
Not ok. That little s#*% needs to clean that up! The employees definitely don't get paid enough to clean up after ur kids tornado. Such bad parenting. I'm sure that kid got whatever toy she wanted after that too.
You're beyond ridiculous if you think that one child did all that it's obvious it's a thrift store and more than one child did that

Stupid parents. There are those rope barriers There for a reason.
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!)"

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.

Load More Replies...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

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.

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.

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.

Idk, there’s a whollllllllllllle lot that grow up just as bad, millions of people. How else do you explain the whole Republican Party?

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
And some of these kids are acting this way because of peer pressure. They have school friends who act like this & think it's the only way to be accepted in the "cool group".

Most of these are apt but some could be neurodivergent and not aware of their impact - just a consideration
Can't we move all these "parents" and their spawn to an isolated location so everyone else can live in peace? If not, then the older human in these mobs of chaos needs to carry cards with their insurance info for lawsuit purposes. Entitlement means food, bed, medical, school as possible.
Mars. Send them to Mars in the first settlement colony. I've read that the first colonizers of Mars won't survive. Good way to clean up the gene pool.

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).
