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!"
A Child In My Daughters School (They Are Both 14)
I have an irrational hatred of people who say 'I could care less' when what they actually mean is 'I couldn't care less'. Really grinds my gears. Particularly when it's coming from a self-indulgent tiktoker.
The little shyte is just parroting his moronic parents. Every effort to talk some sense into this brainwashed escaped pubic louse is a waste of time.
Agreed. While this person is only 14 and therefore allowed a little grace with regard to stupidity, they are definitely repeating sentiment taught to them by the parents. 🙄

Her parents are who we need in this world! They are telling the truth! Covid is stupid, and we should be living our lifes! Not wearing a god damn mask and social distancing all the time! So how about you f*ck off!
Load More Replies...yeah you have one life and you will get to keep that life if you wear your mask
She needs to spend less time worrying about masks and more tome worrying about her grammar.
Let her be she has a right to live her life…for the short time she’ll have it
I despise COVID deniers & people who think they have "the right" to kill other people because they don't want to be inconvenienced. It takes everything I have not to laugh when they die of COVID.
It could be blown out of proportion however I wear a mask & take precautions out of respect for those vulnerable & for those that have died.
I recently had the new strain of COVID. It was terrible and left me with an autonomic heart condition for life. People keep saying that the new strain is just a “bad cold”. It’s not. Please don’t think that the new strain isn’t dangerous. Some people even if previously healthy will get very ill, please continue to be aware.
Me, sitting over hear, trying to reign in my negative thoughts: "Don't hope she dies of covid. Don't hope she dies of covid. Don't hope she does of covid. I hope she dies of covid... Damn it! I'm a terrible person!"
Ppl are losing their lives bc of this and families are being torn apart bc otherwise healthy strong family members are dying everyday tape a mask on this kid and put her in a bubble and don't let her out of her room. Make her watch videos of what our health care workers are seeing everyday.
ok hon. please dont take up a hospital bed when u get covid. save it for someone who actually deserves to live in general.
You are stupid and dumb like all the democrats in this world.

Almost all of the kids in the world has caught Covid, and haven't went to the hospital! Kids are fine and safe with Covid! Most kids don't even have symptoms! Covid is a light flu to a child! The only children who has died from Covid had health problems! So how about you shut the F*ck up!
Load More Replies...Wonder if she has any beloved grandparent or older, health challenged loved ones? If so, perhaps tell her to sit in a dark, silent, room ALONE for an hour, and imagine it being her loved ones LAST DAY ON EARTH because a selfish teen couldn't be bothered to make a TEMPORARY measure. Her loss of a bit of her selfish personal time isn't worth saving someone from a lifetime of long covid, or death...death is FOREVER little girl...imagine that quiet dark room FOREVER and how selfish you are to wish THAT on someone you CLAIM to love.

I wouldn’t call you selfish. I would call you stupid, but eh, what do i know ?
Oh, the irony of saying 'you only have one life' while talking about endangering your own and others' lives.
My daughter just got over Covid. Thank God she was vaccinated, so she had a mild case. My granddaughters mother, out of state wasn't vaccinated and now she has no mother. She's 8 years old. Try not to be so flippant.
Oh so you COULD care less? (Sorry could vs couldn’t care less is a big pet peeve of mine)
While Covid could have been handled better, and wearing a mask is not fun, it is still a guideline with the best intentions and even if you don't agree you can be respectful of others preferences or beliefs. if somewhere says don't wear a mask don't wear a mask you don't have to wear a mask but if someone says that you have to just suck it up and do it. I am almost deathly allergic to paper masks so instead of going without and using it to my selfish advantage, I got a clothe mask to wear instead, and while I still hate it, I wear it because I care about others more than my damn self. But the moment I step outside I'd rip it off 😅.
You mean people who are old and have health issues are dying.

true, you only live one life, but if you just listen to literally almost everyone, you can live a longer life, then, when covid is over and you are vaccinated (you should probably be, you are 14) then you can continue enjoying it.
Read the bible, find Jesus. Then you won't have one like you have another everlasting life.

this makes me hope that 'Im going to live it while i got it' doesn't go on too long. This is the mentality that really should get out of the gene pool.
I rather liked in the UK only having 1 cold in 12 months, rather than 2 or 3. It was a lot cheaper. Oh and Covid not nice, my mum had it over Xmas, and one of my friends was hospitalised with it.

I agree with her for various reasons and I'll tell those reasons to anyone who asks. I'd just phrase it... Alot differently
We have a lot of problems with COVID and schools around here but this week I just figured out what the problem was. They all wear masks at school, but come time to go back home, everyone is talking together without their masks on ... How come no one figured this already?
Clearly repeating the drivel her parent(s) have been saying. Monkey see, monkey do...
Print this, and let her know why. Then keep it, and when and if (WHEN is far more likely now that the second morph of Covic is racing through the population, that you will show it to her when she is in the hospital. Better than that, WAS SHE VACCINATED? IF NOT, WHY NOT? And are you, her parents, vaccinated?
Yes! We need more people like this tiktoker! 6 feet, masks, and all the other things to help "prevent" Covid is so damn stupid! Everybody, I mean everybody in this world is gonna catch Covid! Even if you wear your dumba** mask or stay 6 feet away! So lets live our life! Life is too short! Plus only democrates want to do all this f**cking Covid stuff! F*ck democrates! Especially Biden! He did nothing to help this country! NOTHING! And Trump did so much for this country while Biden is just making the country worse! We need more Republicans in this world!

that moment when the arrogance level is 150 and the IQ is equal to a potted plant. no, wait, the potted plant actually has a brain cell.
Trouble is, saying it's to protect others is precisely the kind of selflessness an entitled kid (or adult) can't bear and thinks is encroaching on their oh so important 'freedum'. If they thought it was for themselves, they might be, MIGHT be, more inclined to do it. Being good to others is not on their radar
There's a reason some parents keep their kids locked up in the cellar... I am beginning to understand why, the more i read this column...
spoiled brat thinks she knows everything about life to think this way. She should be made to visit all the graves which people had covid
The people who has dyed from Covid were either very old or had health problems. Everybody else who are not old or have health problems never dyed from Covid. So how about you f*ck off!

This character couldn't even write his selfish statement properly! He obviously doesn't care about anyone but himself.
Read these two eminently readable books: . "Pale Rider" by Laura Spinney about the 1918-19 Spanish Flu; and . "The Plague Year" by Albert Camus about the 1665-66 plague in London. You'll find that nothing much has changed. Some people of the time believed they were government conspiracies, refused to wear masks, refused to isolate, held protests, fled to the countryside. It is a sad indictment that many of us seem hell-bent on repeating past mistakes, and who consistently refuse to learn from other's mistakes - worthy contenders for Darwin awards.
Eww this kids parents obviously suck balls. This is just them repeating what they're hearing at home. So gross.
I love idiots like this. Go live your life as you please... taking care of dumbass's like you, who have no idea of how sick and devastating this illness can be will be your Karma.

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.

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.

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

Everyone of these kids need a spanking. No you don't beat them it's called discipline. Parents start when their kid is a baby. How else will they learn respect, morality, empathy. Otherwise they end up like these unreal kids.
Most of these kids need parenting which is not their fault. Some kids who throw 'tantrums' are autistic or have other conditions. It's hard when you have a child who looks 'normal' but will act much younger than their age. Please try not to judge if you don't know.
I think most of these are probably just badly parented “normal“ kids.

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

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

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

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

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