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."

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!)"

I remember the good old days when u got £2 a week pocket money, but only if u did ur chores.
I remember it was $1 and I was so happy when it went to $2, and I could earn a whole extra dollar for extra chores. And that was the 90's.

"I'm aware this ISN'T a first worlds problem"... ummm, yes, yes it is. In fact it's a huge problem when entitled kids expect expensive things when there are kids in every country that don't have enough food to eat!
Oh come on, "I can't buy my sixth Dior handbag" just CAN'T be a first world problem! /s

Here's an idea. If all your friends can talk about is what they got when they went shopping and how much money they spent...maybe you need to find some new friends that aren't so superficial? My friends and I never went shopping together. We went to movies and to the coffee shops sometimes...but mostly we hung out at the beach or each others houses. Oh...and that $500K your parents earned...emphasis on THEY EARNED..not you. They have the right to spend it or give it to whom they wish. If they choose to not give you any..then that's their right.
WEll, it sounds like this kid got some mean, but effective online parenting.
I was thinking that too. They should of implemented the value of work and money at a younger age. They enabled her and now she's an entitled brat. So her parents are half the blame.

Back in the late 60's, my dad was going to give me 75 cents a week to clean up after the dog. That was actually pretty good money for an 8 year old. However, my older sister, just learning new vocab words told me it was demeaning. I had no idea what that meant, but told my dad I couldn't do it any longer because it was demeaning. I thought his head would explode. But my sister ended up doing it for nothing, and he still gave me the 75 cents. Gotta love siblings.
😭😭😭😭🎻 It's the old "World's smallest violin playing just for you!" thing. Love the way she rates major designer brands. Apparently "Zara" is lame. It's been almost THREE WEEKS since she's been shopping! Oh the humanity! Time for the parents to have her get a job. Maybe outside employment, or at home. I bet there's grass needs cutting. Weeding, that kind of thing. Save on lawn maintenance. They can even buy her a brand new lawnmower. I'm sure there's a lot of things around their wonderful house that need upkeep. Floors, bathroom, pick up your own towels. Oh, BTW, all for minimum wage. Credit card? Nooooo. Time to learn what a bank account is. Yep. You can have a debit card but you can only get to spend what's in your account. You can have a credit card when you can pay the bills yourself.
Get a job. Your parents have money because they earn it. I hope they find a nice charity to leave everything to.
Is it too late to send them back when they reach this level of entitled, selfish, douchebaggery?
So what makes this entitled little moron think he/she is entitled to any of the parents' money??? Facepalm award would be a daily thing if I would get that attitude from that ungrateful little ba%%%rd!right!! Get a real job and then start complaining about how hard it is to make money and then see how you would react if some no-good little moron would say they're entitled to your money. I'm sure the parents didn't make that much over night. They had to work their way up and most likely give some sacrifices along the way. OMG, my hands itching to land in one of those entitled little stinkers face. I want to feel the burn in my palm, so someone feels the burn on their face for a very long time. Then you can run to the authorities and claim child abuse. You'll have to share a room with several punks like yourself and forget about privacy or anyone respecting your personal property. Ha....in your face. Go ahead and try me.
She is definitely the a*sshole. But her parents should probably talk with her, because if it was all right before but not now, what's changed?
Just because your parents are making 500k doesnt mean they are rolling in money. Maybe they are living beyond their means just like this spoiled little brat. I noticed that the only job she was willing to do was wash dishes for 500.00. She really ranks herself highly. Funny part is she cant figure out why she got a facepalm award. Sounds to me like she's to stupid to be breathing the same air as the rest of us.
this kid is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYY to spoilt like please send her to a 3rd world country for a week and see how much she appreciates what her parents are doing when she gets back
take a reality check kid, its your parents money not yours, selfish little brat, go back to your room, take a look how the rest of the world lives, you could ask your parent to send you to the poorer parts of a 3rd world country to bunk with a poor family for about 6 months, lesson #1 shut your mouth and think before you whine to the greater public.
The person who gave the advide of washing the dishes for 500 is a genius.
Oh my gosh. “Almost 3 weeks” - that poor girl! Such bad parents. Ok but seriously, so many things wrong with her post but the saddest is she is completely clueless that she’s the ***hole. Glad to see her parents trying to finally reign her in, but obviously in a way she’s totally unfamiliar with. Also, are kids nowadays just completely materialistic??
Excuse me?! First of all, that's way too much for dishes. Second of all, you're ungrateful. I get five dollars a week for doing mine and extra chores. Third of all, you should feel terrible! You literally called your parents assh-les and the worst parents to ever exist? I'd never put money on that card. In conclusion, you are the biggest assh-le, end of story.
I'm curious what period of time she's proposing for her dish washing duties. Is that $500 for a week? A month? That's maybe an hour's work each day if I'm generous, so even if that's every day for a month, she's expecting over $16 an hour to do something most kids her age are expected to do as part of their regular chores. She should already be doing the dishes. Sounds like her parents have figured out they've raised an entitled brat and are trying to put the brakes on way too late.
My generation didn’t get allowances. I babysat for 50 cents an hour and bought a lot of my own clothes.
Yep. I didn't get paid for chores. That was work we all owed to the household to keep it nice. It's not like my parents got paid for housework, either. I'm guessing she doesn't have any chores since she's offering to do the dishes. I was expected to do the dishes starting from when I was about 8. Tall enough to reach the sink = tall enough to do dishes. Before that, I was still expected to set/clear the table and help with whatever task my parents asked me to do while making dinner. By the time I was her age, I could cook dinner on my own if need be. Chores helped me learn basic life skills as well instantiating the value of being a contributing member of the house. Plus, pitching in was part of family meal time. We spent that time together, talking to each other.

My mother would use the "can't afford it" thing a lot when I was young. Didn't understand that she actually meant "it's not in the budget and there is no money for _that_". From the beginning I thought she was lying because she worked as a doctor and had her own clinic.
I'm extremly lucky. I get 20 dollars a month, pretty much unpromted. Of coarse, if I do something incredably stupid, I don't get money for the month, which is fair.
My parents gave me money for goods grades not for chores. If i needed clothes they took me shopping and I got to experience the rush of bargain hunting at the clearance rack. My mum was a home maker and my dad had a good job but they imparted on me the importance of delayed gratification and balancing work and wellness. Money i don't waste gets to go to the disney fund. While my friends wore the latest styles every season, I got to go to disney for a couple of weeks every year.
I not only had to watch my sister every single day for no money, but I also paid rent for the privilege of having a bed time at 20 years old
You must live in a little world of your own. Most kids earn extra on top of their allowance by doing chores or babysitting/cutting neighbours lawn etc but this is probably beneath you. You have a long long road to reality
parents making a combined 500k a year are definitely spending the bulk on housing and cars. that is not enough for shitty designer stuff
Bro if he’s the age between like 8-15 he can do chores around the house or babysit but if he’s 16 he can have like a real job 😐
I dot get an allowance and I still make money by babysitting and mowing lawns
It is quite simple. You are the arsehole. Get a part-time job and pay for your petty image-consious crap yourself. That way you might learn the value of things as opposed to the price...,
How old are you? If you think ur old enough for$500 on a card, go get a friggin job.
I received 5 bucks a week in the early 80s, mom said I could buy school lunch, or pack a lunch n pocket the 5. I bot a carton of cigarettes with it each week. Cause it cost only 5 bucks for a whole carton, so I smoked my lunch instead. Had my own bit o Anarchy then!
They may make 500K but you have no idea what expenses they have and that's actually their money and they can do whatever they want with it and if they don't deem you need some, then you don't get any. Simple as that.
Wow…we make less than $60,000/yr. My kids have to do chores for free and get clothes from Walmart a couple times a year. Eventually they will get a small allowance for bigger chores-not because they “deserve” it but so that we can teach them to connect work=money and teach them personal finance skills. My kids will grow up to be functional people… seems like these parents are loving parents with good income, who wanted to bless their daughter-but then realized what a mistake they were making in how they handled giving her money. They are trying to fix it. I hope they succeed.
This is so f*cked up! My children are 19, 18, 18, and 12. We never gave them pocket money. The three elder all work as well as study...they're not materialistic and have a realistic idea of what they and we can afford...
I call troll. No way can someone be this entitled AND think Reddit is going to be on their side
They could simply get a job and earn their own money for what they feel they deserve for being useless tool.
I don't get allowance, I don't ask for it. I'm grateful I have a roof over my head. If you want money make your own, get a job. Even if its just a paper route or mowing neighbor's lawns.
What makes me really mad about this one is that they call their parents "The worst parents to ever exist." DO YOU WANT TO F*****G BET, KID? I HAVE SOME STORIES THAT WOULD PUT YOU IN LINE AND I DON'T EVEN CALL MY PARENTS THE WORST TO EVER EXIST BECAUSE I KNOW THERE ARE WORSE OUT THERE. WHAT THE F**K YOU LITTLE S**T?
Kids are so Unappreciative of everything these days even there own parents (mine as well) I try so hard to instill hard work and value in them but the way this world is today its like everything we try to teach them just goes up in smoke.
if a wash the dishes after dinner from Monday to Friday and clean all 4 of the cat litter boxes 3 times a week i get ten bucks I'm 20$s away from buying pokemon arcus
I get $10 a week for tking care of 4 goats and 23 chickens morning and evening + whatever other daily chores (washing dishes, doing laundry, etc)
This poor kid will have a harsh, harsh awakening when reality knocks pretty soon. Life will NOT be easy for this one. Oh dear.
I remember weeding entire properties or painting my grandparent's house for 20 bucks. Some one needs to teach the lil mooch how to work.
Your parents should drop you off at the closest homeless tent city for at least 12 hours to see if that makes an impact on your selfish attitude. If it doesn't, repeat step one until it does.
It doesn't matter if the parents can afford it or not. They said no. End of story.
I've always said that nice houses need nice money. I bet that kid has no idea how much might be spent or owed by their parents.
You seem to forget the money is your PARENTS nit yours. You sound like a spoiled selfish girl.
I get like $50 for cleaning the entire house, and that is fine for me.
You are an entitled little girl and you need to earn your own money. Gucci? Chanel? Jesus kid, go ask for a job and you'll maybe get a discount. My youngest daughter wanted something or other and complained she was going to call Social Services because I was a bad parent. I tossed her the phone book (we had phone books back then) told her to go ahead and call them, but if she stepped one foot outside the front door with the social worker, she wasn't coming back into our house, ever. She changed her mind.
Haaa, sounds like you need as much materialistic stuff as possible, so go to the local Truck Stop and sell your ugly ass. You will then have enough money and pride as a Lot Lizard to buy anything you want at Dollar General. You sure as hell ain’t worth Gucci!
First of all, I NEVER EVER used vulgar language to my parents. If I did, I would have been sent to my room for a month after having my mouth washed out with soap. Secondly, if you are too young to get a part-time job, you are too young to be shopping online. Finally, if you are begging your parents to put money on your credit card, you have no business wearing Chanel, Gucci, Prada, etc.
Jesus, what is the matter with kids these days that just won't hear no? Maybe it's a generational thing (I'm from the early 90s) and my playmates wouldn't throw tantrums of this kind either), maybe it's lack of parenting, but when my mum said no to something I wanted, I'd simply say okay.
Obviously goes to an expensive school if all their friends buy designer clothes, have unlimited funds to go shopping online, and obviously can’t wear clothes from last season. They need a job to appreciate money. Or at least a very limited allowance. They also need new friends.
I was a spoiled rotten kid on a much lower scale but parents/grandparents don't realize the damage they cause by indulging every whim. I couldn't shop with girlfriends and enjoy myself if I wasn't getting something. It is something that still embarrasses me today. Thankfully I didn't do the same to my kids.
Poor little demon. I got a job at 15. After that I was expected to buy my own clothes with my whopping 2.00 hour part time job. Also was expected to not be selfish and not share with my younger sister. At 18 I was expected to pay rent, my child support had stopped. It's so very sad you can't shop for your favorite designer brands. I can't imagine ever wasting my hard earned money on a stupid label with a name of a person I don't know. If you had a creative brain cell you can find really great ensembles that are reasonably priced, are unique and creative, and they will look good on you.
Whoever you are.... regardless of your parents income the truth is that it’s not entirely your fault that you’re ignorant and have an entitled outlook on life, you’re parents should have helped you to learn better values & morals. Sorry but you’re all assholes for not being there as support for each other & to grow as people and as family.
The generation has a problem..he has an entire bunch of friends who have bad parents, and being unable to realise that, O feel sorry for this guy. I feel sorry for the parents to realise this about their kid. Hopefully he'll grow up soon and have better friends who know value and requirement of money. It's lucky to be born in rich family but it's not a privilege to spend what's not yours. He should apologise profusely to his parents to have got such understanding parents, while his entire friends batch ruin themselves to their doom.
Jeeze if you’re friends are all wearing Prada just rob them for it. Kids need to be more resourceful.
This reminds me of when I did phone sales at night for several weeks because I needed to buy a calculator.
Firstly, I would slap that face silly until she cleaned up her language,.
I never got money for doing chores. To be honest, why should I get paid when my payment is living in my home? (sorry if it’s offensive to some people)
I remember being 16 and needing money for stuff I wanted......so I got a job.
That much? I remember mom rolling a nickel into the gutter where I slept, once a week.
Yes. Yes you are the a**. A self-entitled one at that. Get a job and EARN those things! Brat.
I think you need a world tour to help you understand privilege. 1. You get to speed 3 months in a gulag in Siberia. Next you'll fly 1st class to a Chinese work camp. To top this off. You speed e
I never get pocket money, which is fine, since I don’t do every chore regularly, but often.
Yeah I knew some kids like these growing up. The gap... just hurts. So bad. Especially when you're working 6 hours until midnight after school for $27 a day and surviving on 6 or less hours of sleep. And then, you see these kids get $400 outright a week, excluding expenses, and for just existing.
I thought I was lucky/rich for getting $30 a month....different time I guess o.O
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."

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.

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.

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.
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.

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..
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.

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.

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.
