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

Saw This On Facebook Today, Made Me Giggle A Bit

queenboogie67 Report

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.

I wouldn't call this guy entitled, he is to young to understand how selfish he is. If his parents won't let him get away with it, he will be just fine.

"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."

Kids Smash Glass Artwork Whole Parents Stand Back And Film

Kids Smash Glass Artwork Whole Parents Stand Back And Film

colerarso Report

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!)"

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."

ADVERTISEMENT

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."

Yeah, I mean my hobby is crafts, but playing with vulnerable people's heads for shuts and giggles is a 'hobby' too. For a very disturbed person. At least it's only 'slightly' morally questionable 🙄 that person needs to work on their "put yourself in someone else's shoes" part of their morals

Wow, ok I'm humorous with people and have a dark sense of humor, but if you can't see this is actually cruel then you should probably be the one getting help. I'm all for depression and anxiety being overblown right now considering it's actually a human emotional state and everyone does feel it. People do forget that it has to go on at a certain base for a certain amount of time to be considered an actual problem. However, I'd never look someone who is telling me they are depressed or anxious in the face and tell them how little they were. They already feel little. I might WANT to especially over something I find stupid or little, but I wouldn't. Much less get a rise out of it. That's usually what separates empathy from sociopathy.

If you can afford it, buy it. Then give it either to someone else in the family, a charity shop or, just to be the most vindictive, some random little kid. Just don't give it to your kid

Really shouldn't have continued to engage. Block the kids number and move on.

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.

They’re clearly just horrible people. I hope this act of random violence isn’t the precursor to more serious offences. Little psychos.

I kind of get that it's really hard for a 15 year old who has been an only child for 14 years to suddenly share everything. And I also think it's the parents fault if he or she has to include the sister in every plan. Still, saying something like that is really the worst. But also, kids need to learn and say mean things in the heat of the moment

Something similar happened to me on DeviantArt. Someone stole a painting of mine to pass off as their own, then had the audacity to start attacking me on my page saying I stole THEIR painting. Then they got their little scumbag friends to start attacking me calling me a thief and liar. It got so bad that DA contacted me about it wanting to ban me, until I told them what happened and showed them proof I painted it. Next day the scumbag was banned.

If he/she likes jasmine rice so much then give her an Ethiopian portion for a fortnight, little brats need to learn how privileged they are to have a meal everyday.

When you see how politicians have no trouble at all finding funds for their election campaigns, it's not very strange to think that this is the way to get money.

That's not the kids fault. It's the lousy parents who didn't educate their kids AND didn't make them clean the car before they traded it in. But the joke is on them. That's at least $500 less on the trade price for cleaning costs.
