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.

"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.
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.
Jo Choto 4 years ago
After the first TV, my child would no longer have TV or Fortnite. The end.
Honu 4 years ago
After giving a reasonable consequence (which could include paying for the TV depending on age) and some serious discussion in which the child would have to display an understanding of why that behavior was not acceptable, I would be inclined to give them another chance. I would explain to them that, if they broke another TV, then that was it. The console is gone. The TV is gone. Max breakage: 2 TVs. Not 5.

Nah. Maybe would’ve replaced the first tv AFTER he learned to control his temper but on breaking the second I’m afraid I would have binned the game and refused to let him have it again.

One can only hope that when they do grow up their future children are EXACTLY the same. Maybe then they’ll learn!!!!

Did the poster explain why the TV's were broken? I mean was it done in anger or just some sort of playing mishap? In either case the behavior should have been addressed after the first broken TV.

Then they obviously have a much bigger issue to deal with that is already out of control and professionals should be called in.

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."

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

I think most of these are probably just badly parented “normal“ kids.

I was just thinking the same thing. If the parent's had said "no" every once in a while and followed through with consequences to bad behavior, most of these kids wouldn't be on this thread.

My son then 4 really wanted a kinder egg. I said no. He started to pull the wrapper off in front of the cassiere. So, now I have to buy it. Jokes on you, you little clown, now it's my egg. It tasted very good haha. He never tried to do that again 😂

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.

The vast majority of kids are lovely, decent, small human beings. But these horrible monsters do exist. Most of them will grow out of it. The rest turn into Donald Trump.

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

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".

Generally shitty parenting leads to shitty kids, that’s not exactly a revelation.

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.

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.

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..
