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!)"

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.
Yeah, I'd that lil smirk would quickly be turned into an ugly cry face when all that stuff went back or was donated to less fortunate kids, along with a whooooole lot of the stuff she already has.
I think it's too much to also donate the things he already owns, but the things he ordered should definitely be given away. I'm sure an orphanage would be very happy about all these things.

Idk where this is but in Germany kids are "eingeschränkt geschäftsfähig" meaning that they can't legally agree to any kind of contract (e.g. buying online or in store) without their parents consent. If they do anyway the parents can simply undo the contract as it was never legally binding anyway. An exception usually are in store purchases up to a certain "pocket money" amount.
Children under the age of 7 are excluded from any kind of business at all

Yeah BULLSHIT. My girlfriend orders amazon a lot and its from my account so she cant even buy me stuff with out me knowing. You get an email notification every single time something is ordered. And your bank account notices too
Depends on whether or not you're diligently and consistently checking both those things. Some people could 100% not notice for the 1-2 days it takes for an Amazon package to be delivered. Just because you don't think you would, doesn't mean that everyone else has a situation exactly like yours. SMH

I've seen this story before and I don't get it. You get a confirmation email from Amazon seconds after you make a purchase and have the opportunity to cancel the order. You also get an email when it's shipped, with another opportunity to cancel the delivery. This is most likely a fake photo opportunity designed to get Likes on social media.
My email provider's spam filter can get overzealous. I've had to approve some senders three or four times before they stopped filtering those mailing lists. Could have been that the emails failed to make it to Mom/Dad.

Honestly this one is funny. She's little and I haven't had any issues in returning on Amazon. A teaching lesson, sure, but not a brat.
Looking at all the replies from parents here is disgusting. Yall shouldn't have kids if doing this once makes you want to abandon and hurt them what the actual

I would rather see the picture of her face when you confiscated everything and sent it back...you did do that right? Right??
I don't think this belongs here. She looks really young, she probably doesn't fully understand what she's doing. Kids do this kind of stuff all the time.
Yep. This is a good opportunity for her parents to teach her. We don't know from the post how they handled it. If they let her get away with it, then she's further on the road to being an entitled brat and they would have only themselves to blame.

she is a bit to young to know much better so this one would get a pass from me, but if it was my cousin she sure wouldn't get any of it
tbh that's actually kinda hilarious, I understand that this is bad but she is a little kid and probably did not see what was wrong with doing that, but the little s**t grin is hilarious
omg im laughing that face is hilarious. Thinks she's a wee genius. I remember one morning i got up went downstairs to find my phone had a notification that my $900 power wheels was being packaged for delivery lol Thankfully the store was gracious about the whole situation and cancelled it. Then the next day same thing from wayfair lol Cancelled easily as well. We had a talk with kiddo and he hasn't done it since
Okay but this is why you don’t give 6 year olds the Amazon password!!
It's Amazon, every one of those toys are returnable to have either the money put back in the bank account or credit on Anazon. I'd immediately take the auto fill credit card info off of the website and remove the auto fill cookies. Unless she takes the credit card ne t time she won't be able to order. If her parents allowed her to keep even ONE of those toys, they are fools and get what they deserve with what they are creating.
I just ordered 50 lol weirdly realistic dolls....that's all mommy, please don't get mad at me i'm just a little baby
And this is why parents have to STOP using their phone as a babysitter. My kids NEVER have my phone and if they do they're playing ONE game that I also play and know is safe for them and I'm sitting with them the entire time. Plus, I don't save my card info anywhere and don't peruse Amazon or anything like that so I don't have any of the apps with my subsequent card info saved. Parents, this is entirely YOUR fault if this happens to you and your kid is under seven. Parent your kids and stop just handing over your phone. People made it work before cell phones. Figure it out.
Nope!!! They would have been put straight back in the van and if he didn’t take them as returns I would put them in the garage till the van came to collect them. I’d also be tempted to give one or two away to some random kid just to see her face lol
I was thinking “This is kind of hilarious, it must have been a misunderstanding.” THEN I SAW THE SMIRK.
my baby cousin once bought a couple of concert tickets for $600
My son aged 10, got a PayPal account in our name and proceeded to order $3,000 worth of online game products. He changed the password to our online bank account too, so we wouldn't find out. The bank still sent us our statements by mail. It took me 3 weeks to work out the new password. He used to steal my credit card and buy stuff online too, I had to keep getting new ones that I picked up at the bank. If they were posted, he'd get them before me. According to the bank and police, children under 24 years old, and living at home, are not considered to be breaking the law doing this. I had to put a bomb up PayPal's bum as the security given was our home address and phone number, all available in the public domain. They have since changed that. My son is now 25 and still addicted to online games, fortunately he pays for that himself these days.
Sounds almost like my daughter. She ordered toys online. She got on my phone while I was asleep. The website I had previously ordered from store my card number, and I guess since it was in 1 website or was also in another. I have it set up to get emails for orders. I got 10 different emails about MY orders. Some I could stop but a few I couldn't. These were done @ 3am, by 10am when I got the emails some had already shipped. But got sent back. Saved $500
Oh, she knows what she did. This isn’t the normal subconscious “kid clicking something they want without realizing what they’re doing” or thinking it was free. The face and pose alone says that.
Amazon accepts returns. It's all going back. Of course, I have Amazon order notifications, and would've known immediately if an order had been placed, and I would've cancelled it.
Just return them all. Punish the child, and make sure you leave your cards somewhere secure!
Send them back and don't let this little brat near any electronics until they find intelligence.
Send them all back, unopened, marked "Not ordered; return to sender," and make little girl help lug them into the post office, and write an apology to her parents.
Yes I've heard a story like this before. America's Home vids has a thing where this kids ordered a whole $400+ Lego set on his mom's phone. This is not funny. It means that your child needs a very stern talking to, and even if this was another person's idea in their head, they still went through with it, against their parents' wishes. This needs to be stopped, so let's ejucate so that young brats get stopped before it happens.
i would donated the toys to kids and let other people take care of the kid.
Only donate them if you can't return them. There's no reason for her parents to lose that much money to that brat. We have Amazon's family w/prime that way if you order gifts no other family member can see what you bought and with Amazon Family the parents credit card number is frozen to only their account. The kids can't access it.
This happened in my state. The mom told the news that the child was grounded for a month and that everything was returned... Whether she followed up? I don't know
Honestly I would have made her go to every house that has children in it and I would have made her surrender a package each and then I would have made her watch them play with the toys
My daughter made a "wish list" containing 59 items on Amazon by putting everything in the shopping cart. Thank God I did not have 3,900 on my card ... she has never bought stuff for roblox without my permission though and I say no A LOT!! Thats why I THINK it was an accident/laziness... but I was PISSED nonetheless..
When my niece was younger (she's 19 now) she bought an aeroplane or helicopter on ebay.(can't remember..but it was an aircraft). Her mum had to tell the seller to cancel the transaction, this was around when eBay was in it's infancy so it was really difficult for her to get the money back and it was thousands of pounds that she didn't have!
Pick a company that hires children get application show kid pics of this company and the location geo tag where it is compared to where there friends are cause they sure as hell don't care where home is and then start listing their "choices" and make them go with you to children's hospitals to donate that sh stuff they bought.
I’d load them from the pavement yo my truck immediately and with her in the car, drive them directly to a donation site. then for the next 6 birthday and christmas she would get nothing other than a nite that showed her what her outstanding balance owed was… $ 300 - 50.00 per celebration And tell her debt is paid
Wouldn’t have accepted the order and they would have gone back to Amazon free of charge! Child would have kicked up a stink and I’d have stepped over child and ignored her, gone back in the house. I don’t deal with overreacting kids. Passwords and access to phone and accounts would be changed and tightened so this couldn’t happen again.
Stupid parents again. Kid knows their card details, and has access to their cards. Good swift kick up the bum should suffice, and no toys.
I would've immediately printed return slips to plaster on the boxes. Luckily, Amazon has a great return policy.
I would have had GREAT fun marching her down to the post office to return every one of them. Let’s see how smug she would look then!!!
My nephew did that once, but he didn't understand the concept of money. Everything was returned, and he had to carry everything to the post office.
The parents ended up donating the toys ... https://www.cbsnews.com/news/6-year-old-spends-over-300-on-toys-using-moms-amazon-account-now-shes-paying-it-forward/
I would have Told the Driver to Return them and If HE WOULDN'T I would have Donated them all to The Poor Kids in the Neighbourhood!! She would also Lose her Cell Phone ;Games & Computer or Television Privileges!!
Open long enough to get the return slip, and send them back. Any postage you have to pay, she either has to repay or it comes out of her hide. The computer comes out of her room and any accounts she has are closed. She can do her homework at the DR table, under supervision. Your computers are locked. She will never see the light of day again.
well... how old she is? I think she do not understand she did something bad. This is why you shoud put some protection against children to be able to purchase anything. I look at the twitter acc. The little girl decided to donate those toys to children hospital. I think this is actually a story with good ending where the girl understand she did something bad, and the photo of her in the hospital after donation.... She looks really happy, I'm proud of her.
I mean, look how young this girl is. It's entirely plausible that she wasn't trying to be an a-hole, she just didn't fully comprehend what she was doing. My son was making in-app purchases on a game without realizing it was costing me actual money until I talked to him about it. Very young kids don't have a good grasp on how money works.
I wonder how far I could kick that kid? And I'm not a violent person. But something about her looks very kickable
if I were her parents, then one more wrong move and I am sending her straight to the foster care.
Aren't you a peach. Testing boundaries... FOSTER CARE! Lol omg

REminds me of the time my childhood friend (he's a much better person now, I promise) stole his mom's credit card to buy about $1,000 worth of whatever the Fortnite currency is, and instead of grounding him, the mom just? got another job? like "no biggie, let me just go work twice as much as I already do (she's an airline pilot) so I can pay the bills my bratty son caused"
If I was that parent, "Oh this is wonderful, how did you know Timmy next door was having a party, and you ordered presents for everyone!"
AND THIS is the reason kids are being complete jackasses these days, they need to learn to stick with what they have and that they don't need more! It's hard in the beginning but it pays off in the end!!!
If you don't think you can be a good parent or know you can't be a good parent, use rubber

"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.

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".

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.
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 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.
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.
