“Mom: Unacceptable”: 50 Examples Of The Most Entitled Parents, As Shared By This Community
Few people are arguably more annoying than entitled ones. Expecting others to drop everything at a second’s notice just to help them out or demanding preferential treatment for reasons only known to them can surely lead to some rather frustrating situations.
Some people develop a sense of entitlement after becoming parents; for some reason they believe that having a child works like a privilege pass in certain circumstances. That’s why their entitlement often becomes a source of inspiration for internet memes, providing something to giggle at—or maybe relate to, to those who’ve ever encountered an entitled parent in the wild—when scrolling away. Continue to move down this list to find memes about the latter, as shared by the ‘Entitled Parents Memes’ subreddit.
Bored Panda discussed the topic of parent entitlement with a developmental psychologist, author Dona Matthews, who was kind enough to answer a few of our questions. Scroll down to find her insight in the text below.

A disease considered wiped out in humans is back thanks to anti-vaxers.
My elderly mother told us how the 9 year old girl next door died a horrible death due to measles back in the 1950s. Onset of a rash to her brain swelling to the point of herniating her brain stem in 48 hours. In the days before the measles vaccinations. At least the girl wasn't put at risk of getting autism.
And That’s A Fact
YES, I can't say how important this is, NO MATTER HOW YOUR CHILD TURNS OUT, LOVE THEM AS MUCH AS YOU WOULD LOVE ANY 'NEUROTYPICAL/ABLE BODIED/CONFORMING' CHILD, THEY DESERVE IT AS MUCH AS ANY OTHER
I really do that. Vaccinate and love my ptsd-hurt child! My father took care of those children and adult with severe disabilities in the 1960's after diseases that we can vaccinate against today.... why are people so stupid not to vaccinate?!
Load More Replies...Whilst the others can be a bit difficult, I really don't understand the issue with LGBTQ or trans kids. They aren't bothersome more than a regular child would be, they're literally just there having a different understanding of love or gender than we do. Why the hell is it so much of a bother for people to have a son with a husband or a daughter who is now a son? You literally don't lose anything, not even your nerves!
As a parent who is an atheist, I’ll speak honestly for myself. For me, I think I would experience a feeling of loss of who I thought my child is. If one of my children is trans, and doesn’t feel comfortable identifying as such until they are older, I’ll love them just as much as I always have and will; I would still have to adjust, and it might now be as easy as I want it to be. This doesn’t mean I’m transphobic or lack acceptance, it means I’m a human whose understanding of the beings I birthed was incorrect. I’d feel guilt that I may have done something that prevented them from embodying who they truly are. I would support them, and love them unconditionally, while also feeling a sense of loss despite not losing my child. They’ll be who they always have been, and I’d have to adjust. This is just my opinion as to why some people struggle when their child tells them they’re trans. If one of my children is gay, I wouldn’t have the same reaction because it’s not the same.
Load More Replies...My child has just been diagnosed with inattentive adhd and it’s harder for her than anyone. She’s creative, talented, articulate, determined, kind and all round fabulous. It’s just hard to see them struggle when you love them so very much.
If you had a child by choice, remember that your child had no choice in being born. Taking care of them - which absolutely includes loving them properly - is precisely what you signed up to do.
Me, an autistic, non-binary child with anxiety and depression and like 10000 health issues: 🤘👹
Karens should love their children more than they love asking for the manager.
I am just so sick and tired of people thinking a child with autism or a child who is neurodiverse is any less than a neurotypical child. People like that need to wake up.
But they are different, and that’s okay. Parents need to love them the same, find acceptance with what is, and acquire resources that support their child’s needs.
Load More Replies...Then there are the parents who say their child has issues & the kids actually don't. OMG, how could you let my child that whole bag of cookies? They are allergic to peanuts, gluten, & milk. Yet here we are looking at you kid not in the least bit sick. Their medical records show their allergy tests were negative & here we are with you still telling us they have them.
agreed. i knew early on (aged 3) that children weren't for me. I struggle to deal with them in general, but i can barely take care of myself and all my health conditions, i couldn't deal with a kid, or give it enough attention and things. but if you choose to have a child, you also have to understand everything that comes with that. not to make people mad, but it's the same with pets. you might not get the perfect pet. they wil get sick, it'll cost you money. if you aren't prepared to deal with those things, dont get it.

All I can think of is the dancing people carrying the coffin 😂
The really sad thing us that it could easily be someone else's child, who can't get vaccinated because of a medical condition, and depends on herd immunity to save them from disease.
There are countless examples of parents’ sense of entitlement—just take this mother demanding that other children share their toys, for example, or this one annoyed at some kids at the playground—which is why people are far from surprised when another similar situation unfolds.
“We’ve all run into that parent, the one who demands to go ahead of us in line at the grocery store or restaurant because their child is getting impatient, or the one who wants to switch seats with us because their child wants to be at the window or on the aisle,” developmental psychologist Dona Matthews told Bored Panda in a recent interview.
“That parent is probably entitled and demanding in other areas of their life, too, but at the very least we can know that in these cases, they’re using their child as a proxy to ask for advantages.”
Biggest Brain Time
Why do people keep saying this about autism and vaccines? Is it because they can’t read? Over and over and over and over and over and over and over again, there’s been NO correlation found AT ALL. (And I’d like to add that in cultures where they don’t have vaccines, the autism rate is the same as in places where vaccines ARE available.) My only guess is that those people can’t read … unless they’re reading dipsticks who insist there IS evidence of a connection between vaccines and autism? I have a feeling it’s anecdotal, as there’s no evidence for it ANYWHERE.
I loathe anti-vaxers so much because I trained as an infectious diseases nurse in Australia back in the late 60's. I've seen the damage that so called mild childhood diseases like measles and chickenpox can do and don't even get me started on polio. Did you know that measles can cause Encephalitis and chickenpox can invade your lungs, not to mention your genitals.
Load More Replies...Wouldn't this not effect the ratio, since the children who die are the same ratio of autistic to not? Unless vaccines are for some reason more effective for autistic people?
True vaccines have been around far longer than the rise of autism. Want something to consider? How many illnesses and conditions have exploded since flu shots began to be shoved down our throats? I never met an autistic person or anyone with food allergies until the 80's. That's about the same time they started pushing the flu shot. I know doctors that tell their patients to avoid flu shots and the jab as if were the plague.
Seadog... Think of the catastrophic flu epidemic of 1918 and the various plagues throughout the ages. Autism has been with us for hundreds of years, but undiagnosed, there are many sad cases of "strange" children being locked away, often by their own parents. If there are doctors who tell their patients to avoid vaccination, they deserve to be struck off. You need to take a reality check.

My daughter started teaching primary school this year. She just finished uni and this is her probation year, she had to meet one of the children's father and she said that the guy was misogynistic and threatening (he got in her face and was yelling at her......glad I wasn't there, I would have went absolutely ape on him). She says that her pupil is just like his father. The boy is 4!!!
Load More Replies...“My reaction to that kind of entitlement depends on the parent’s tone,” Matthews continued. “If they’re apologetic, and express appreciation for the fact they’re asking for something I don’t have to give them, I’m usually happy to comply if I can.
“But if the tone is demanding, I find I dig in my heels, and will comply only if I feel like it. I’ll be polite, but might say ‘No,’ maybe with an explanation (e.g., ‘Sorry, I’m in a hurry too.’ Or ‘Sorry, I selected this seat and am all set up here.’)”
It’s arguably safe to assume that most people would react differently to a demanding and appreciative tone, especially when it comes to parents with children. If an apologetic dad asks to cut in line by the nearest bathroom, because his little one really needs to go, that’s a completely different story from an aggravated 'Karen' yelling that their child deserved this plane seat they didn’t book or pay for in advance.
Fucking Karen Am I Right
Found out this was from 2019. He lost the first case as it was in Canada. This was after his two boys (at the time 8 and 13) had just got over whooping cough (is preventable by vaccine) and there was a massive resurgence in measles at the time in North America. He had to pay court costs to his ex wife, around CAN$34,000. He then said he would take it to the US Supreme Court as his ex wife now lives in the US.
Since when do you need both parents permission to get a shot? What country is this post from?

That’s Just Under 1.3 Billion Today, That’s Literal Effort To Be That Entitled
and that mum paved the way for child pageants and family youtube channels…
SOME family YouTube channels are ok, in my opinion. My friend’s family had a YouTube channel, but they didn’t use it to make money off of it and the kids were completely alright with being filmed. The only reason they had the channel, really, was to document their vacations and/or other fun stuff they did together so they could share it with others. As long as the parents aren't using the kids to make money or something, it might be fine depending on the family's personal values or whatever.

He sent notice to Jackie’s father that he wanted to see him about a role in his next film. Coogans dad thought Chaplin wanted him for the movie. When he learned it was for his kid he said “that twerp? Why would you want HIM?” JFC.
In the scene where Jackie has to cry because he’s being taken away from Chaplin he was being silly and wouldn’t cry. So his dad pulled him aside and told him that he’s going to send him to the workhouses for wasting Chaplins time. Which, of course, made him cry. After they shot the scene Chaplin asked Jackie’s dad how he made him cry. When he told him Chaplin was horrified and banned him from the set forever.

if aromatherapy, homeopathy and waved Ng crystals around were that effective as medical treatments surely all hospitals would use them "sir you appear to have an open fracture but not to worry we'll wave a crystal over it while you smell this essential oil.... you'll be right as rain in a jiffy"
Exactly. It's soooo much cheaper and would save them so much money, while also being EXTREMELY easy to sell.
Load More Replies...It’s important to pay attention when a parent is simply being an entitled jerk and when there are actually valid reasons for their seemingly rude or aggravating behavior. Dona Matthews shared with Bored Panda that she doesn’t think entitlement is ever excusable, but there are times when parents can have legitimate requests for help with their children.
“If a child or parent has special needs, and the parent is doing their best to manage a tough situation, then I want to be part of the village that supports the family in coping as well as possible with their challenges,” she said.
Your Kids Are Humans Too Karen
My parents give the excuse that since as babies we used to scream it’s okay for them to yell back at us
“if your child can talk, why hit them? and if your child cannot talk, why hit them?” meaning talking is a better option than hurting them, and if they’re too young to talk, they’re too young to understand punishments
Load More Replies...Ever notice how its the calm parents who have the calm kids and its the loud obnoxious parents who have the loud obnoxious kids.
The calm parents and children are us. It took a while to have our neighbors believe our children actually lived with us. We never screamed at them, but they got disciplined all right.
Load More Replies...People often confuse gentle parenting with neglectful parenting. It isn't saying No to your kids it is communicating about WHY there are rules. No "Because I said so" but WHY. It is also getting down on their level. I like the term Responsive parenting better because it is more accurate
Permissive parenting is also confused with gentle parenting. Permissive is just "I never say no to my kids" which is pretty bad
Load More Replies...They also have no concept of logic when they are toddlers. Children are children, adults are adults. You don’t need to scream at them to discipline them, but treating them like adults is just dumb.
Toddlers are perfectly capable of logic on their own level. (does biting hurt? yes, would you like to be bitten? no, why bite someone else? kind of scenario) I have talked through everything with my little girl since she could speak before she was two, (obviously in simple terms she can understand) now she's 4 we can talk to her as a little adult and explain things to her and she understands, we can ask her about how she's feeling or how others might be feeling and what she should do. Not that we don't get tears on occasions but they're short lived and i can think of only one meltdown in the last 2 years because they're so infrequent.
Load More Replies...Also don’t tell them not to feel a certain way (e.g., don’t be scared). That doesn’t work for adults either! It won’t work for kids.
Sometimes you can't reason with small children. They have to understand boundaries. I agree never belittle a child, never, but shout at them, it's sometimes necessary, or would you rather see them put their hand into boiling water?????
If you scream at your child about everything, it won't listen when it's really necessary. Like if it runs into the street and is about to get hit by a car, for example.
It? Kids are not things. They are people. Just say they or them if you can't specify gender.
Load More Replies...We’ve raised 2 sons over the last 26 years and never had a serious argument with either. We’ve never been a family that fights, shouts or disrespects one another. Our kids are our best friends.
I was screamed at (I hate you and wish you were never born), kicked, hit, punched. And as a result, I never hit my son once. I screamed his name at him once when he was putting a butter knife into a toaster to retrieve a stuck piece of toast, risking electrocution or like when I did it as a kid, a strong shock. But never hit. I would sit him down and explain to him what I thought he should/shouldn't do. He treats his kids the same way so maybe I stopped a trend.

YOU'RE the problem, not her. And before anyone jumps down my throat - yes, all this is obvious to any reasonable intelligent human beings. Which is why I'll keep repeating it as often as possible.

It’s difficult to answer why some people feel entitled to certain things just because they are a parent. “That varies from one parent to another, and from one situation to another,” the developmental psychologist pointed out. “Sometimes it’s temperament—some people are just more demanding than others, regardless of the situation—and sometimes it’s concern about their child’s ability to cope with less-than-ideal circumstances.”
“Sometimes that concern is legitimate—the parent may be dealing with a particularly challenging child—and sometimes it stems from a parent’s need for more effective parenting techniques,” the expert added.
Let’s Be Honest, It’s True
Unfortunately, it’s anything but “the last time.” 😞

Back then they didn't have available vaccines for everyone. If they could have done they would've. That was different. But today we have all the tools to be healthy, yes they aren't perfect, but also a sickness won't harm you for s life, or it won't have long term consequences. Please vaccinate your children. Its very important.
"Why should I vaccinate my dog? I don't even vaccinate my children!" Was a real question I heard from a customer (vet tech here). After informing her of the pros and cons she is now really contemplating on getting her dog vaxxed. Doesn't want it to have longterm illnesses or even die unnecesserily
This Is Accurate
Any time I see those highlights I know my customer service day is about to suck.
I know someone who drives a car like that. She has 4 kids with 3 fathers. Not judging..just...funny
Of Course It’s A Karen
And even if it did make them "look like a Muslim," would that be such an issue?
My daughter knew a girl in school who's parents were fuming over a Muslim family moving a few doors up from them. I met the Muslim family & they were wonderful people. They rejected everything nice I had to say about them. Now the guy on the other side of us is a prime example of white American man. Oh, you mean the one going to prison for molesting teenage boys?
Some of the posts shared by ‘Entitled Parents Memes’ clearly show that such parents often affect not only their own lives and well-being but those of their children as well. Their actions can have a strong impact on the offspring and can set an example, which might be far from the best one for a developing mind to follow.
“An entitled parent is acting as a model for their child, and is effectively teaching their child to feel entitled, too. As time goes by, that rarely goes well for either one of them,” Matthews said.

Teaching children that they are entitled to some sort of preferential treatment might not be the best choice for many reasons; and there clearly are better things to fill their heads with.
“There’s considerable research showing that an attitude of gratitude has many benefits, whereas an attitude of entitlement brings with it negativity and unnecessary problems,” Dona Matthews emphasized in a recent interview with Bored Panda.
In a piece for Psychology Today, she pointed out that an attitude of gratitude leads to more energy, a greater sense of optimism, greater resilience and better capacity to overcome setbacks, a deeper sense of contentment, and deeper empathy, which can be essential for trying to tame a sense of entitlement.

Oof... I knew some passive-aggressive parents who would unleash their kids in other people's homes hoping some damage would happen. They'd pretend to be friends, but then let their kids do these things in their hosts' homes. One of the couples had an expensive imported rug in the living room. Their guests allowed their children to lay on the rug, draw pictures on thin paper using permanent markers. The parents looked at them, noticed them, but ignored them. The hosts didn't want to say anything. To me it was a bizarre war and another reason I never invited any of them to my house. Thank God I divorced and no longer have to associate with them. Yikes.
I have no problem ordering kids in my house anymore. If they're parents don't like it, too bad.

The reason it’s so important to teach gratitude over entitlement is because children will reflect what they see, hear, or are taught. That’s likely why quite a few millennials nowadays are considered entitled; and, according to Inc.com, the parents are partially to blame.
It pointed out that over 70% of American adults think of the aforementioned generation as "selfish," and 65% believe they are "entitled." It continued to emphasize that entitlement is typically a learned behavior, which emerges when parents believe their precious children are entitled to everything.

Well, you were very brave telling your mother the truth. Parents either shy away from it or they go into attack mode just to avoid having to asses the validity of what you said. Obviously your mother felt threatened by what you said and probably even more so if you do indeed do not get married. Following into your mother's footsteps is the ultimate evidence for your mother that she did a good job. Get married, don't get married, have a boy/girlfriend, don't have a boy/girlfriend....it's your life and your choice. You can't live your mother's life nor can she live yours. You're the captain of your ship.

This is sad. I watched my belittled, screamed at, blamed, punished, ignored and laughed-at niece grow up into an addict. I tried but wasn’t with her 24/7. I’m not saying everyone that’s treated badly ends up like that but it’s more than a coincidence. Can we please just say out loud it matters how you treat a child?

She says "Shame on you for acting like children, you're fully grown adults, have some respect!" and I was so confused and I said "But we are kids". She starts arguing with us and at one point starts pushing my friend backwards with her hand. The lady stops, looks at my friend and says "if you're a kid then why do you have the body of a woman? huh?" and proceeds TO STARE AT MY FRIENDS BODY. At this point I was ready to throw hands and taekwondo this lady to the floor but a security guard came out from one of the stores and asked what was going on
since we were making a big commotion. the lady tells the guy that we were disrupting a children's area and had to be kicked out. The guy asked for our IDs but we don't have Ids so we had to show him our Zip Cards (Kids Transport cards in London for those who don't know) to prove that we were kids.

My (adult) boys and I are flying across the country for my mom's 80th birthday in a couple weeks. My boys are *tall*. Like TALL. 6'10" & 7'1".

I'm almost hoping someone demands our seats for whatever reason because then my boys will just stand up and ask what the problem is. Trying to intimidate someone with that kind of height takes b@lls.... b@lls that most people don't have. And it's always so satisfying when an entitled person gets taken down a notch... or five.

She Calls Her Lawyer Everytime
Americans don't have universal healthcare but they all have a lawyer. :)
Two older boys were playing on the sidewalk when the little girl next door came running up to play. The girl was about five years old and quite demanding. She grabbed onto the toy the boys were sharing and wouldn't let go. The younger of the two boys push her away. She landed rather hard on her behind. Instead of crying like most kids would, she jumped to her feet and yelled, "I'm going to sue you!" Yep, her mother made a living by filing lawsuits. These were often settled before going to court. I think she was in cahoots with her lawyer.

Another Ep Meme Cause I Have Years Of Repressed Emotions Against My Mother And Comedy Is One Of My Few Coping Mechanisms
Omg check! Early intervention is an insurance policy against a lifetime of misery. I have PTSD, MDD and GAD, the latter since about aged four. I was straight onto it when I suspected my seven year old might be anxious. Again, I am extremely privileged to be able to afford to get her help. Not everyone can.
Actually, it happens very often that parents do not want their children to be checked for mental illness. Not just because they don't want their child to have a label, but also because they just can't be bothered because they think it's just nonsense or because they feel that mental illness in their children is a comment on their parenting and their way of life and they feel threatened by it. Regardless, there is no excuse for not getting your child the help it needs.

Load More Replies...See my sister-in-law was like this with my nephew and niece, her two oldest. Nephew saved up and bought a phone off a friend. She took it and literally smashed it with a hammer (posted it on Facebook too!) My wife and I had to start giving them gift cards at Christmas because my SIL would immediately take cash so they wouldn't "lose" it and turn around and spend it on herself. She probably owes my nephew several hundred that she "borrowed" over the years but she's got him so manipulated now that he still lives with her at 21 and pays the rent on the house they live in. My niece is so F'd up that my wife and I are slowly teaching her that she doesn't have to spend every dime that her husband makes on frivolous things, that bills need to come first. On the flip side of all of this, my SIL let's her 14 year old daughter have all of the things my niece and nephew weren't allowed to have (phone, Facebook, etc.)
This one is dumb. See, children are incomplete idiots, who often lack the capacity to consider the long term consequences of their actions. So if they're failing school because they spend every waking moment glued to their phone, or computer, or console....then they don't get to have that thing anymore! Yes, some parents abuse this mindset, but that doesn't mean it's never, ever valid.
well, just an idea: how about you supervise your children and their usage of media? ho about you explain to them, why they're not allowed to use their electronics in this moment? how about they are free to do what they want when their homework etc. is done?

What rubbish! Of course they tell you that "only weak people don't forgive" because it benefits them and not you. You're not weak by any stretch of the imagination. On the contrary, your parents are weak because they can't live with what your father has done to you and they should. You are in no way obligated to forgive anyone or anything if you don't want to.

Based off of all of these posts, that's definitely a good thing. It is still expected for a mother to have custody of the children even if she, if she's totally honest, would rather share custody or have no custody at all. However, both parents retain responsibility for their children so the one who doesn't have custody should pay child support of course.
went through this as a child myself, during 70's /80's felt like a tennis ball,it wasn't about myself or my brother's welfare but about both parents trying to f**k each over and egos... royally screwed me up to the point I have had struggled in romantic relationships ever since and felt it was better to leave my son with his mum (who I couldn't fault as a mum or person at all and was the best place for him, didn't want him or her and myself to go through what I had gone through)

Load More Replies...I kinda feel bad about this, but I really don't have an opinion about them. There are bad parts... (1. The time my baby sister was vaccinated and screamed so loud no sound came out. She couldn't walk for a YEAR and had to be put through extensive physical therapy. None of the doctors would listen to or help us - which is why my mom abandoned vaccines. 2. My cousin died and went brain dead after getting the COVID-19 vaccine. No, it WASN'T an allergic reaction...) but there's also good things? (1. It's helped some people, 2. It helped my aunt.) So, honestly, I'm not even an adult - no where close - but I feel majorly conflicted right now.
I'm sorry for what happened to your family members, but what they've experienced is extraordinarily rare compared to the majority. I have had so many vaccines in the past few years (covid, HPV vaccines/boosters, loads of mandatory vaccines for school etc.) and the worst me and my friends have gotten out of them is a sore arm and maybe a bit of dizziness if they were scared of needles. I feel protected; I'm now much less likely to get a certain type of cervical cancer, among other deadly diseases. Vaccines work. Bad personal experiences don't mean they don't work. For example, if you got into a car crash and your seatbelt injured you, it doesn't mean seatbelts don't work. I hope you have a nice evening. :)

That's why I'm not on speaking terms with some of my relatives but hey, good riddance to scummy cretins, I'd say.
Question: do all boys have a booger wall or was my stepson special? : D
As an apartment painter, I'd say the booger wall is a lot more common than I suspected before painting over a few of them.

The vin diagram has so much overlap, it usually just looks like Circle. That's why. However, this BP list, at least on my viewing, says "entitled parents", not "Karens".

The time my baby sister was vaccinated and screamed so loud no sound came out. She couldn't walk for a YEAR and had to be put through extensive physical therapy. None of the doctors would listen to or help us - which is why my mom abandoned vaccines. 2. My cousin died and went brain dead after getting the COVID-19 vaccine. No, it WASN'T an allergic reaction...) but there's also good things? (1. It's helped some people, 2. It helped my aunt.) So, honestly, I'm not even an adult - no where close - but I feel majorly conflicted right now.
I'm sorry for what happened to your family members, but what they've experienced is extraordinarily rare compared to the majority. I have had so many vaccines in the past few years (covid, HPV vaccines/boosters, loads of mandatory vaccines for school etc.) and the worst me and my friends have gotten out of them is a sore arm and maybe a bit of dizziness if they were scared of needles. I feel protected; I'm now much less likely to get a certain type of cervical cancer, among other deadly diseases. Vaccines work. Bad personal experiences don't mean they don't work. For example, if you got into a car crash and your seatbelt injured you, it doesn't mean seatbelts don't work. I hope you have a nice evening. :)
