Being a mom is a hard job. It takes a lot of mental and physical energy to constantly be there for someone who relies on you 24/7.
In partnerships, moms are usually the ones that take on the brunt of childcare and housekeeping duties—and there are a lot of them. Single mothers are often under even more pressure. They not only have to take care of their child and keep their house in order, but they’re also the only bread-winners in the family.
All that is to say that we should appreciate mothers as they do work very hard.
However, some of them can sometimes be a little too pushy when insisting on gratitude. After all, being a mother doesn’t make you more deserving of the good things in life. And one should not expect to be treated with exceptional kindness and generosity simply because of their familial status.
The list below has some of the most infuriating examples of entitled mothers ever. If you decide to scroll down and see it, be prepared to get angry.

While you might think that entitlement is a completely negative personality trait, it is actually not all bad. In fact, we all have a sense of entitlement and it’s actually good for us.
Healthy or normal entitlement is learned when we’re still babies. By giving us warmth and responding to our needs, our caretakers teach us what sort of treatment to expect from others. This usually teaches us boundaries and the concept of “giving and receiving” in relationships.

“I’m A Single Mom. Let Me Buy This For 15% Of Your Asking Price!”
Other types of healthy entitlement can be transactional. For example, when you work, you expect for your employer to pay for your job. When you pay for something, you expect to be delivered a service or a product. Same applies when there is any sort of rules that people need to follow; you expect everyone to abide by them. You expect the doctors to treat you, and the laws to protect you. All of these are normal.
When we are describing someone who is entitled, we are talking about a person who has excessive entitlement. Those are the ones that expect special treatment from everyone around them.

There’s no clear answer for why people start feeling excessively entitled. One of the theories is that it is related to a person’s attachment style. Scientists propose that an anxious attachment style that manifests in clinginess and fear of rejection is associated with the feeling that you deserve better. Usually, these people have exaggerated needs and fears and demand them to be met.

This relates to a theory which claims that people who were wronged in their lives demonstrate an exaggerated sense of entitlement. Children that weren’t given enough emotional support try to meet their needs outside of their familial relations. This type of behavior shows in the patterns of entitled moms.

Single mothers have to sacrifice a lot to give their children a good life. They often don’t receive much gratitude from people in their family, so they seek it in the world around them. Their need to feel appreciated takes priority over consideration of others. So, they go on the Facebook market and push the sellers to give them free stuff or scream at service workers, demanding the respect they crave.

Excessive entitlement can lead to criminal behavior. Studies have shown that believing that you deserve special treatment can lead men to abusing women in relationships. This can be physical or sexual violence. Those are the type of guys who think that women are indebted to them because they were treating them nicely or bought them a drink or dinner. When they don’t get it, they feel betrayed and could even take what they think they are entitled to by force.

Entitlement is also associated with infidelity. In those cases, people might think they are entitled to a certain kind of attention or even sex. If those people don’t get it from their partner, they believe it is only fair to get it somewhere else. They often don’t exhibit much remorse about their actions because they feel they were justified.

In the worst cases, entitlement can even lead to a person taking another person’s life. In a paper published in 2002, researchers analyzed how entitlement led to a student attacking his teacher. The teen perpetrator’s mother showed excessive adoration for her child, believing he was very smart and destined for something great. The scientists believe that the constant praise made him feel like he was better than others and deserved special treatment from everybody around him. Once he didn’t get it, he resorted to gratuitous violence.

Mother Demands You Only Buy Specific Gifts For Birthday And Holiday. For Context, The Child Is Like 4 Years Old
I used to do similar when my daughter was younger but I was a lot more relaxed with it. If someone asked me what she wanted I would suggest two things but neither was more than £15. I never sent a list out in advance though and if we ended up with duplicates oh well! Most presents were crafty things so it didn't matter if everyone bought the same thing.
All in all, it is safe to say that taken to the extremes, entitlement can have really serious consequences. And while the mothers on this list are not physically harming anyone, their ignorance to the needs of others is definitely unpleasant. In other words, they really know how to ruin someone’s mood. We do hope these stories didn’t ruin your mood, but, instead, are going to inspire you to stand up to excessive entitlement when the situation arises.

Why Is It Always The Moms Looking For Nanny’s?
It’s a pity that the people who need to see these kinds of posts probably don’t read them, or why this kind of behavior is beyond unacceptable and absolutely abusive , if they do read it.
'I'm a single mom so I must be treated really special' is all I have been reading here :(. Thankfully, I'm sure it is only a small percentage of single moms that go on these 'entitled pleas'. I do feel sad for some that don't have family to help them though.
Me too. Like, the posts to look for a babysitter offering a very low pay. If it's really what they can afford, this is a social problem. It means they have no family net to rely on, need to work, have nobody to look after the children. A real welfare state would take care of some of these issues.
Load More Replies...Overly entitled dad's exist too. People like to act like it's only the moms who are a problem even though dad's can be as well.
Why are only 'dad's' possessive in your world and not 'moms'?!
Load More Replies...theory: most of these posts are women who think people owe them stuff. I'm think these are the kind of women who used to look cute and got everything handed to them and then got knocked up and left behind or just plain old and now can't comprehend why people are not giving them free stuff anymore like when they were young and attractive.
Lol lol lol I had my first entitled Mom encounter a few days ago. She just straight up asked what I would do about the prize of something. Said if I would pay the shipping fee myself, then I would make her kid very happy, because she is a single Mom. Told her no can do because I‘m a single Mom too. No answer. I‘m not a single Mom, but If you try play that card, I have no sympathy

I work with single moms. Some of them feel absolutely entitled to getting things free. It's not my problem that you had a kid that you can't support.
