"Choosing beggar" is an online term used to describe people who make unreasonable or entitled demands. And there's a whole subreddit dedicated to this colorful bunch.

Perhaps somewhat surprisingly, parents make up a considerable number of them. So we at Bored Panda decided to try and see what their requests are usually about. Turns out, child care is arguably their top priority.

To show you that some moms and dads need a reality check, we compiled a collection of moments when they tried to get someone to watch their kids for (basically) free.

I remember that story. The husband was informed and did pay the babysitter.

Even though they're getting called out for the way they go about it, parents who are sending kids to daycare know that it can be a huge chunk of the family budget.

For example, in the US, the average cost is about $10,000 a year, but it's more than double that in many places across the country.

    It is never wrong to ask the parents for references from prior babysitters. The look on their face will tell you a lot. If they give a reference, talk to them! In my day, the other teenage babysitters would be straight! Poor tipper, crappy snacks, lots of housework, handsy when taking me home...you knew who not to work for. The great parents rarely needed new sitters.

    According to the US Labor Department, the average price of preschool and daycare is up 6% from last year and nearly double the overall inflation rate of 3.2%.

    Big parts of the problem can be attributed to increasing labor costs and rising demand with more parents going back to the office post-pandemic.

    This was what my ex friend paid me to babysit her 3 year old daughter while she worked. If the daughter was sick I was still expected to babysit which usually got me sick. If my friend was sick she would expect me to hang around for two hours while she decided if she was going to work and when she didn't I did not get paid for wasting my time. She had the audacity to call me entitled because I was getting $25 instead of $22 per day like the cheap unsafe daycare in the area. She still thinks she was doing me a favor.

    Child care is gaining resonance in economic and business circles, but it's losing ground in the political arena.

    Funding put in place during the pandemic is set to run out this month, and advocates warn that once the US hits that "child care cliff," some centers will either have to raise prices even more, cut staff, or shut their doors.

    Okay but it's kits beach in Vancouver. it's crazy expensive to live there, the houses are huge and gorgeous. you get to use the entire house house as well as you don't pay for food. In exchange you do light household chores like as if it were your own house, and babysit 2 nights a week. As a mother of 2 boys, only having 2 nights a week to be watching kids.. I mean, 1k a month doesn't sound so bad now lol

    We may smirk at these mostly desperate people, but the reality is working parents, especially single parents, are trapped where they have kids but are barely living paycheck to paycheck. As a social benefit to our country, the government should provide daycare for those who can't afford it. That's why the couples today aren't having kids. They just can't afford them. And the Constitution demands that we provide for the Common Good! Oh wait, that's radical far left communism talking. It's just not christian to help the downtrodden and Joel Osteen needs it more than they do.

    On top of that, babysitting rates rose 9.7% in the US in 2022 — a bit less than the 11% hike seen in 2021, but still outpacing inflation for the second year in a row.

    A shortage of babysitters and higher pay that those remaining are able to command are creating seismic ripples in the labor market, keeping some parents at home or in precarious care arrangements.

    Five weeks pregnant? There’s still time to rectify this problem. Getting pregnant when you can’t afford it in any way, shape, or form is a dumb mistake, but there ARE solutions that don’t involve having to rip others off to get them to raise your kid for you. If you go the adoption route, you can even *make* money. I wanna implore her not to keep this baby. What if it’s not healthy? WTF will she do then? I’m terrified thinking of what she might do!

    So even though it's hard to sympathize with someone as entitled as most of the parents in these pictures, their opportunistic "hunts" for people to look after their kids can be interpreted as signs of a bigger problem.

    51% of U.S. parents say they spend over 20% of their income on child care, which is far more than the 7% that the federal government defines as "affordable."

I think it speaks volumes that she's aware of how odd her request sounds and acknowledging it should indicate that it's more of a "private and personal matter" that she's willing to explain . Needless to say I am personally more curious than weirded-out by this one.

    I guess paying for a babysitter for a couple of hours twice a year is too much to ask.

    "Please no hate comments"... I think she's had difficulty in getting people to work 4am - 4pm 5 days a week (60hrs).

    I think babysitting very young babies and toddlers is not something you leave to an inexperienced person or just anyone! Some of these have absolutely pissed me off, first time anything on Bored Panda has really annoyed me!!!

    Some of these are outrageous, Social Services/CPS agencies should monitor these sort of ADS because I'm honestly horrified by the lack of disregard or thinking that some of these people have for their kids welfare, a child abuser/pedoz will gladly accept the terms offered or do it for free!!

    Yeah, I don't really have a problem with this one outside of the chirpy tone (makes me think this would not "be a great fit" for my dour and sarcastic child), but it's basically cooperative babysitting between mothers, and it could actually provide the training for someone "looking to get into babysitting" that the earlier post promised.

    When I was 12, our neighbor hired me to watch her kids while she cleaned her house. She'd also have me go with her when she was shopping with the kids because she needed a second person to keep an eye on them. She explained to me that her mom never gave her responsibility, and she struggled to know how to balance simple tasks while caring for the kids. She paid me more than she needed to. This was late 80s. I made bank working for her, just hanging with the kids while their mom was in the next room.

    She is very independent for her age? What does that mean? My daughter is almost four and she is very independent; good luck convincing her she can't do what she wants to do and that's a lot of work.

    That is not an insignificant amount, especially if the time commitment is not that much. However, there are other expenses in life so you would also need another job or source of income. A lot would depend on how much and how consistently they expect help.
