Some parents act like having a child gives them an all-access pass to special treatment. They act like rules don’t apply to them, patience is optional, and common courtesy doesn’t exist in their world. From demanding strangers give up their seats to treating teachers like on-call nannies, their entitlement can be downright unbelievable.

Luckily, the internet never misses a chance to call them out. The ‘Entitled Parents Memes’ subreddit is full of hilarious and eye-roll-worthy stories of parents who take things way too far. Keep scrolling to see some of the most ridiculous examples—you might just recognize a few!

Sometimes, we come across people who believe the world owes them something. It’s not hard to spot them—they’re the ones demanding special treatment for no apparent reason. Like that one person at the coffee shop insisting they should get their order first because they’re “in a hurry,” as if no one else has places to be!

Entitled people often expect others to cater to their needs without ever saying thank you. They crave constant admiration and act as if basic rules don’t apply to them. Whether it’s cutting in line, expecting favors without reciprocation, or believing their problems are more important than everyone else’s, their behavior can be exhausting.

This kind of attitude can stem from upbringing, unchecked privilege, or even certain personality traits. Some people are raised to believe they are always right, while others develop entitlement over time. Either way, it makes interactions with them particularly frustrating.

And then, there are entitled parents—the ones who believe that just because they have kids, the world should bend over backward to accommodate them. They expect priority treatment everywhere, from restaurants to airlines, and often believe their children should be exempt from rules that apply to everyone else.

To understand more, Bored Panda spoke with Nikola Rujkov, a tutor who has been working with kids in Germany for over a decade. “Some parents can be really tough to deal with,” he shares. “They expect you to rearrange your entire schedule just for their child, as if you have nothing else to do.”

It doesn’t stop there. Nikola adds, “Some parents will come up with endless excuses for why their kid hasn’t done their homework. Instead of encouraging responsibility, they shift the blame onto the teacher.” And in extreme cases, parents even try to delegate their child’s work entirely. “I once had a parent who expected me to do their child’s homework for them,” he recalls, shaking his head.

This kind of parenting can have long-term consequences. “Kids pick up on their parents’ behavior,” Nikola explains. “When parents act entitled, children start believing they deserve special treatment too, and that makes it even harder to teach them responsibility.”

Becky Stuempfig, a licensed marriage and family therapist, also weighed in on the issue. She told HuffPost, “Entitled parents often place great value on material objects and tend to spoil their children with all the latest and greatest physical items such as technology, clothes, bikes, cars and so on.” While it may come from a place of love, this excessive indulgence can set unrealistic expectations for kids as they grow up.

Entitlement isn’t something permanent; it can be unlearned. Parents who recognize these tendencies can help their children develop independence and self-sufficiency. Practicing gratitude and taking responsibility for actions can make all the difference.
