skids are MADE to feel entitled due to the parents behaviors in regards to their children and the situation they are in (divorce, seperations, death of a bio, ect). the adults feel bad for the skids, and try to 'make up' for whatever the skids are going through. this happens in many different ways and unless the adults stop doing it, the skids will remain entitled.

Because their guilty Disney parents allow...nay, encourage them to feel entitled about everything in their lives. It seems like from the time of divorce, these kids are treated like adults. All the privelage but none of the responsibility.

It is all bad selfish and lazy parenting. It is easier to give in and let the kids have what they want, let the kids call the shots and make the decisions than it is to say NO and listen to the kids complain, it is easier to let the kids all the shots and make the decisions than have them complain to you they are not happy. Easier, but not right and it does the kids life long damage.

My children were victims of a divorce too. My oldest at the age of 10 said she wanted to go and live with her father ( naturally, he was buying them stuff, not paying child support, but buying them stuff) and had no rules, they fell asleep on the couch clothes and all whenever they stayed there so why not go live with fun time daddy.

My answer was, NO, you are 10 years old, you don't get to decide where you live, I TELL you where you live, and you live here with your brother, sister and your mother and don't ever forget it, I will never split you three kids up because you want to go and live with dad. Do not ever ask me again, when you tun 18 go by all means, but until then subject closed............And it was. She tried, it failed, sure she pouted and sulked for a couple of days but she never went and she never did. Now at 36 she gets it.

Guilty parents, one parent trying to be loved more than the other by the kids, or worse still both parents trying to win the kids over = recipe for disaster and fallout all on the kids.

They feel entitled because mum and dad allowed supported and encouraged it, so mum and dad could have the kids love them. Mum and Dad would have been better served to get a puppy, because they had not a clue on how to raise productive members of society with a sense of community spirit, they raised selfish self centred brats who can't well won't do anything for themselves, why should they, mum or dad or both will be more than happy to do and to give them everything they want. It's not the kids, it's the way mum and dad taught them to be.
