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
That kid learnt the disappointment that will face many times in the future😅
All the candy they had left, $24. The look on their faces, priceless. (From the Mastercard ad they *should've* made!)
had chinese takeaway lasy night: $24. Got home, missing an item: Riceless.
Load More Replies...Sounds like something I would have done. I bet the moms face was priceless when she realized the tantrum that was to follow. Haha
I've ordered all the pies at McDonalds because of disrespectful little A$$es were being horrible to their mom and even ordered the last of a meal on an airplane I didn't want because the nasty bitch behind me was so nasty to the flight attendants and others. AITA? Yes sometimes
It's not the kids fault, he's been programmed to behave that way, by his lazy assed parents. Reap what you sow.
they literally got 12 Hershey bars- and that was all on their receipt. 🤣
If it's near Halloween you can hand them out to trick'er'treaters
Yas! That mother truly thanks you even if she didnt realize it at the time. You gave her an out, sometimes thats what us moms need when our brats are about to melt down. Its easier to blame a stranger than be the mean mom😉 If I was that mom I would have said no freaking way and ate one right on the spot...."Im a B**** you say? Take your ass to the car"🤣
I’d have been horrified to see a parent hit their child (spanking is unnecessary and proven permanently harmful)-however…equally horrifying is mom offering the candy bar. My kids would have lost the one I was already going to get them. Awesome what you did w the candy-kids need to learn they can’t have whatever they want and aren’t entitled to anything.
Just remember that an adult is responsible for this so let’s not call kids monsters or brats. It just feeds into the whole “kids are aholes” mentality. It’s really not cool to publicly post this stuff.
Someone needs to give this selfless hero of the people a medal. And insulin.
Well done. I can honestly say that I HATE these ignorant females (calling themselves mothers) who give in to their rotten, mannerless, entitled little stinkersjust to keep them from having a fit in the store. I'd take that little s**t and give him a reason to cry and scream once we're in the car and then a "touch-up" at home as a warning for the next time I'll have the misfortune of having totake him along.
Well done. Some brats just need a good slap. Sadly that is illegal now and we are faced with a generation that has no respect for authority, parents or anyone else.
I love it! You could always have a neighbor kid sell them house to house (to people he knows) for what you bought them for. Good job!👍👍
Thank you. That kid needed someone to do something my husband would totally do something like that and that’s why I love him so lol
I call that "philanthropic pettiness", or pettiness that makes the world a better place. 🤣
I love your attitude. If the kid's parents aren't gonna teach him about life, it's up to the rest of us to educate him.
If it had been my kid, he would not have seen a candy bar until he left for college.
Sad that the mother gave in. My kid be picking his butt off the floor!
I've heard about a hundred variations of this one. I doubt any of them are true.
Kids get away with too much nowadays. It seems the parents would rather give in to their demands than explain they can’t have everything they want. Good for you. I think I would have done the same. Little toerag
Beautiful! Learning the world doesn’t revolve around you $24….no Priceless!
Well at least you stepped up, crying and throwing a tantrum almost normal child behavior, but calling his mom or any adult figure out of their name is over the line, so I thank you
Dark chocolate. I bet the kid would have complained after biting it.
I lived next to a similar mother a long time ago. They were all inside (with the back door open) when I heard her youngest, not yet 4 years old at the time, say "kutwijf" -translated the equivalent of "you stupid c**t"- when he asked for crisps and she said no. Like really extremely rude. I was waiting for her to say something back, but no, she went and gave him crisps
My son has autism and calls people bitch when he gets upset. I wouldn’t give him what he wanted after calling me that, but this person should learn to mind their own business
See, the difference between you and that so-called "mom" in the anecdote is that you would be portrayed in the anecdote as not giving in to your child but doing other things instead, e.g. removing your child from the situation. I have friends who have children with autism and they manage to accommodate the condition without raising spoiled brats, something this "mom" clearly wouldn't know the first thing to do.

Load More Replies...I LOVE that! I never let my kid get away with tantrums and she is a super nice adult, not the entitled Karens we get now adays after the "don't discipline your children" balloney. When i hear a kid throwing a tantrum in a store i loudly mutter parenting advice from the next isle over. Extremely passive aggressive, i know... /shrug Just trying to help. >.>
I feel you just fulfilled her wish..I bet she was praying that the candies disappear somehow so that she doesn't have to buy em for that shitty kid. And how the threads 9f fate unfolded that you felt that urge to waste $24 on something that silly which instead could have been spent on something that your family might have liked so that everyone was happy. Instead you choose ego over happiness. I'm not saying there wasn't any fun doing so trying to 'teach' them a lesson. However, the way I see it, it probably only served the mother's interest. Whether she is a shitty mom is a secondary part of it. Sweet revenge could be you coercing the kid to buy a ton of candy to teach the mother a lesson to not give in.
Ah yes. Vengeance obsessed Boredpanda.....We know nothing about the mum or how s**t her day could have been, maybe she's not got the energy to fight the kid over something so simple, but because her kid's being a brat she deserves for things to just get worse.....The kid's not going to understand this punishment.
A child calling his mother B*tch needs to be dealt with at that moment. Being tired or having a bad day sucks but if it is not dealt with the kid will do it again.
Load More Replies...Being spiteful is just making the situation worse. I agree the child was behaving badly. But for an adult to behave childishly and behave that way. Was misguided and taught us that being spiteful is justified. When it's not. We humans definitely need to do better. I know I'll get down voted for saying this. But our behavior matters and it can with guide us and influence us all in the right direction. Or in this case, the wrong direction.
I was at an inner city grocery store and heard a mother yelling at her 3 year old "you better sit your mother f*k'n ass down or I'll beat your f*k'n ass!". Really classy!
I hear people talk to their little kids like this all the time! It makes my blood boil. I wouldn't talk to my animals the way I hear some people talk to their children. I just don't get it. I have kids too, I know they can be frustrating but they need guided and disciplined with love and patience. Yes, its hard to be patient sometimes but it's part of being a good parent!

This is petty and childish. Don’t applaud this. Sure that kid shouldn’t be pitching a fit, he’s a little asshole. But can you imagine the shitstorm that mom was in when there were no candy bars left? Mind your business brutha you were a diick too when you were little
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.

"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.
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."

This Happened A While Ago, Still Not Really Sure If This Person Was Messing With Me Or Not
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.

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.

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.

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.
