r/EntitledParents - "I Made You = I Own You" 

first story: imagine coming home and finding a dead child strapped in a seat and then, you see that this was your niece.

With the first one, at least in the US (Not sure where this was), leaving a kid in an area where they are alone without anyone there, even if you intend to return, is a form of child abandonment and will lose you custody of the child and get you a hefty prison sentence

An infant… an INFANT. She left an infant outside someone’s house… when they didn’t even know was home! CPS needs to take the child away immediately!!

Re the abandoned toddler. Child Protective Service should been notified. Any 'parent' capable of that abuse is capable of anything.

The Gabriella story was insane. I thought the wife maybe suffered from a mental illness, but I definitely wasn't expecting to hear that Jeff wanted to give his wife a biological ghost child. Wtf that is NOT how you cope.

20:26 The worst part about this story is while everyone knows that this is obviously awful for the child- Using an _actual child_ as a way to treat her psychological problem is _so unethical and will cause her further harm._ People with these delusions are typically given _dolls_ to regulate themselves, that’s what he needs to give her, not a _real child._

As someone who has lost two babies, the "have katie replace the daughter they lost" is just beyond f'd up. For so many reasons. And its not going to help the grief, they'd be messing with the kiddo's emotions and psyche for no reason.

The only thing a parent should be entitled to is support from the government, free schooling for their children, free healthcare for their children, and safety for their children. Anything beyond that is a no.

That “wants to use my kid as therapy” story is really sad, like, the lady who threw the fit was mentally unwell, and he put her, his kid and the poster through absolute hell because he didn’t want to do the actual best thing and get his wife into therapy. Like I don’t even feel the crazy lady was wrong, perse, cause she was as much a victim of her shitheel husband as anyone was. Like her reaction was insane but she was also experiencing a world destroying level of stress and loss so at least I can rationalize why she behaved the way she did rather than be normal

"left neice on doorstep" uhhhh....... yeah call CPS. call CPS immediately.

"I made you = I own you" Parents when they hear about the 13th amendment:

One of my aunts sued her son's girlfriend to make her lose custody of their toddler daughter. Why? The girlfriend didn't want to subject the child to a cosmetic surgery to remove a birthmark. They talked to doctors, the birthmark wasn't something that'd impact the child's health in any way.

The lady with the daughter whose biological dad was tryna get her to be therapy for his wife made an update: The wife died, self-inflicted. The woman's parents also claimed Jeff killed their baby by shaking her and blamed it on SIDS. Horrible all around.

I hate when parents use the 'I gave birth to you' card as if we asked to be born. My life up until the past few years has been nothing but trauma, I was suicidal for over 8 years before actually trying to take my own life. I didn't succeed thanks to my mom and I'm grateful now that my life is better. But my abusive man-child father used to to use that excuse ALL. THE! TIME!!! And my only thought as a teen and child would be: "I never asked to be born and if you hate me so much, why didn't you just abort me?" I never said it, but I often wished I had been aborted because of my trauma.

I hope abandoned baby momma got CPS called on her. That is some CRIMINAL level DFKY.

Most of the time when I find toddlers with squeaky shoes it's because they like to escape and sneak away. So the squeaky shoes make it easier for you to find them.

the last one is even worse if you think through it if the mother would get full custody and that girl grows up there, she would likely fall victim to the same things when she is at the same age, so that woman is basically providing her husband a new victim

My mother had that same sense of ownership over my body. She's had an uncountable number of meltdowns over it, constantly violated my boundaries, had no sense of privacy, and somehow made all *my* problems about herself. She treated me like her own personal dress-up doll. Let's just say that coming out as trans didn't go well, lol.

i am worried that if the father did get his daughter the wife would treat the kid as if it was the lost one, change the kids name, try to gaslight the kid into thinking they are her real parents just do their best in imprinting their dead kid on this living kid

On the story with Jeff: there's updates and one as recent as yesterday. Jeff hired a priest and sent them to OP's work, claiming Jeff was a "Godly man" and that op was not fit to raise the daughter. Op said that the daughter was safe and her personal affairs are none of his business and asked him to leave. Priest said he'd come back when she's not hysterical. OP told the secretary he's not allowed back there. OP did talk to the bishop and said they wouldn't bother her again and was apologetic. The story gets worse and pretty sad, but does have some good news. Jeff dropped the case. OP and her lawyer checked to make sure it wasn't a legal trap, and thankfully it wasn't. Both sides agreed. Her daughter is safe and the godparents help in taking the daughter to and from school, and OP is looking to move closer to the godparents and found a spot. By chance she ran into the wife's parents and they asked to talk. She hesitated but agreed to buy them a coffee. The in-laws apologize and said Jeff lied and convinced them that OP would agree to that arrangement. Jeff lied about A LOT, saying he was godly, and that he asked OP to marry but that she refused and was only after his money. It was obviously not true and OP stated in the past a lot that she never wanted to get married or want his money so that lie whent no where. The in-laws then said their daughter passed away, and that it was self-inflicted. The poor woman clearly needed help, but instead of that, Jeff tried to use OP's kid to pretend like nothing happened. The worst part was Jeff who lied about how the the baby passed on. The baby was colic, which means they cry nonstop, and Jeff shook the baby, which was the actual cause. Its so messed up. The conversation with the in-laws went well and they gave OP a picture of the baby to have, that she stated she'd save to tell her daughter about her half-sister, and even visit them at the cemetary when things calm down. OP relayed that information to her lawyer, who scolded her for doing it alone, but understood why. People are probably wondering why Jeff wouldn't be charged with murder, but OP said that where they're from, if you have enough money, a bribery goes a long way and its very likely he got away with it. The good part to this sad story is that Jeff has no legal ties to OP and her daughter, they have a temporary restraining order and will be going lengths to protect her daughter. She hopes nothing else will happen and her daughter is happy, doing well, and well supported by her awesome mama and godparents. I hope karma makes Jeff's life a living hell. Edit: fixed spelling and grammar

"No one asks anymore" WELL, my favorite color is pale blue/deep green and my favorite dino is the Parasaurolophus. Anyone else?

Remember, having kids is optional, not required. And once you choose to have kids, they're your responsibility, not everyone else's.

The one with the cousin who left their kid in a car seat was horrible!! I would guess the kid was maxim 6 months old because - definitely not more than 9 based on the fact that were still small enough for the kind of car seat that can be carried. Car seats for toddlers don't have a handle for carrying, they stay in the car. Also because OP said "infant". That poor poor child. What a horrible mother!

The mom who left their kid on the doorstep without even confirming someone is home should be in prison.. that's some serious child abandonment/endangerment.. that kid probably would not have survived the whole weekend if OP's parents didn't happen to stop by

That first story. I’m surprised the child didn’t die of thirst

I'm a simple gal. I see Click and I click.

Huh, I’m surprised Click hasn’t covered Entitled Parents yet XD I just realized

My dislexik ass ready "Mom discoverd me on a tattoo" in the Thumbnail

Honestly, the idea that people only want to have kids to satisfy what ever delusional fantasy or power trip is honestly a revolting thing. Why do these people exist?

Ten to one Jeff was arrested for attempted kidnapping of a different child so his wife could continue to avoid getting real help.

A human adult cannot survive for more than three days without water, I can only imagine how dehydrated that child was by the time they were discovered.

Click: you smell astounding today Me: *really needs a shower and has a stomach bug*

The "you can't get a tattoo because I gave birth to you, so I own you" reminds me of my mom with my body hair. I'm a trans man and naturally have thick leg hair, so she forced me to shave constantly growing up. Even now 2 years on T she's having me get waxed for an event :( Edit: grammar

There was an entitled parents story about a mother who stole her 23 year old adult offspring 's car to "ground" her. It goes all the way to court. The mom has told everyone it's just her kids being dramatic for being grounded, until the daughter's age is finality brought up. It was so delicious, but I can't find it anywhere now :(

That first story is literally child abandonment and child endangerment and the child should be removed from the home without any further reason.

NOO don't spin the demon he's gonna get sick

That story with the child trying to be used as a tool for therapy is creepy as hell. Idk if it was the woman’s delusions or the fact that the baby daddy genuinely thought anyone would agree to just give up a child so that someone else can pretend it’s their own dead baby. Jesus fucking Christ.

That story about "jeff" wanting to use his "daughter" for lack of a better term, for unhealthy therapy for his now wife. I've heard that, and seeing click read, I'm just like, "hold on, hold on, jeff is worse of person than that"

The story with 'Katie/Gabrielle', my heart breaks for the other wife. Not only did the husband hide having a child with someone else (even if he's not at all involved in the life, that's still a Pretty Big Secret to Keep), but then after a tragedy and clearly without getting other sufficient psychological help or support, he decides on a wild scheme that can only lead to more psychological trauma for her down the line at some point, and does so without even consulting the writer of the post, leading to an immediate situation of 'her baby' being taken away from her again. I can't fathom how that man convinced his parents (post says 'her in-laws') to go ALONG with that.

The story with the Jeff guy. He was taking advantage of both the mother, the child, and his wife. He doesn’t deserve any of them. I hope his wife gets actual help and not be emotionally hurt by that man. I really don’t blame the wife for how she reacted if she was being emotionally manipulated which seemed to be what that guy was going for. As if he wanted a temporary “fix” but his wife cause he couldn’t stand her emotional turmoil. It’s just disgusting all around.

My uncle and aunt lost their three children in an accident he at least seemed somewhat responsible for. My aunt and uncle were psychologically broken beyond recovery. Afterwards they tried to kind of dote on nieces and nephews, working themselves up as some kind of second place parents. It was covertly invasive. The complete extended family started to revolve around their loss. My mom always protected us against this and warned her brothers and sisters and she got a fair amount of strict retorts. Then when we all started to reach the age their children died at, they cut all contact with their 'children' and even expected family get togethers to be solely without nieces and cousins. It kind of blew up the whole family. It is really awful what some people have to live through and they do deserve support and understanding, but be careful not to become collaterally damaged in the process. Broken people can become dangerous themselves.

Okay the allergic to ice story is genuinely funny because Im actually "allergic" to ice (cold urticaria). Ive had people tell me that putting on coats was weak and that i was sensitive and my response was to grab ice and rub it on my arm for it to break out

3:40 she wasn’t a toddler … an INFANT!

1st, a PSA... *clears throat* DO NOT SEND REPTILES VIA MAIL! It's one thing to hand deliver them or use specialized reptile delivery services, but do not send reptiles via usps, ups, FedEx. Reptiles can and have died by using these services they're not intended for living products. Now that that's out of the way, 2nd, the post a out "everybody gets ice in their drink"... I would've just replied "then I guess I'm a nobody, huh?"

The story of the parents disliking the boyfriend with no reason reminded me of another similar story where after many arguments, the parents finally relinquished the information that the gf their son had was actually his half-sister product of an infidelity. I don't think this is the case, though, but it is either utmost powertripping and madness, or a similar dark secret.

I’m pretty sure that first story warrants a call from CPS like immediately.

Imagine your daughter-in-law's parents knowing your child better than you do. that's how you know you failed as a parent.

"Every kid needs a parent, not every parent needs a kid" - a person of all time, i forgot

I don't care if it's unrealistic or not, WE NEED A PARENT LICENSE!

3:02 I would've kindly reminded her that she and only she is responsible for her child's well being. This is a nice case for child protective services.

There is no "too young to even remember it". Not with traumatic experiences. The problem is, that while the kid would be unable to retrieve that memory from that early, or actively remember it, the trauma is emotional and that sticks. There is no "too young to remember it", there's just a "was too young to ever be able to get to the source of the trauma."

The story about the father wanting to use the child as a therapy doll literally made me cry lol

For the record. "The kid is too young to remember it" Isn't how it works lol The body remembers. That child will ALWAYS remember being abandoned for three days.

My dad: I'm you're father, I have the right to know everything about everything about your life and keeping even tiny secrets will give you punishment

My mom is the kind of person who thinks that because she gave birth to me i have to do any and everything she asks. Some of it is reasonable like looking over my homework/grades, passing her water when shes thirsty but other times it's legit her look through my messages or my diary. The worst part is that everyone thinks its okay just because in my culture it normal for parents to be overprotective.

last Eid, some family brought a child with the annoying squeaker shoes. do you understand how incredibly HARD it is to focus on prayers when there is a meat siren running around screeching and squeaking?

I think the "therapy" would never actually end, i'm sure that woman would develop a connection with that child, and that would make it even worse.

Grieving mom who wanted OP's kid: this is how you wind up with Sleepaway Camp. IYKYK.

I saw another video today where a woman gave birth to twin girls. One had an allergy to coconut. When the twins were 1.5 they left the girls with the woman's mother. The mother then used coconut oil on the twin's hair then gave the allergic one a Benadryl before bed. The drug pretty much left the twin unable to do anything as the allergen caused her to swell up and suffocate overnight. It's been over 12 years and the surviving twin is withdrawn knowing she lost a part of herself and the mother is in therapy. The grandmother wasn't charged but has been blacklisted by her family.

I'm so glad i was raised by a sane single mother! We got tattoos together instead of her being against it. We also got our noses pierced at the same, her younger sister, my aunt, joined us for the piercing.

26:56 something kind of like that can actually happen, cold urticaria. It's a fairly rare health condition where contact to cold objects or low ambient temperatures cause an allergy-like reaction, from simple itchy welts to swelling and in extreme cases even anaphylaxis.

I get so tired of hearing people use "my child" as a reason for everything. I didnt have kids, and short of absolute abuse or psychological damaging things, i couldnt care less about what you think bothers your kids. Or what your kids need or what you think they should be entitled too.

Royal Blue, Triceratops and because it's also important, my favourite planet after Earth is Pluto. You heard me.

43:00 100% true that some bullies only speak 'force'. after trying EVERY "proper" strategy for dealing with bullies that were jumping me regularly after school (er... "Jumping" means ambushing in a group with physical violence... idk if that slang from the 90's is part of clicks repertoire) including involving the police (who did nothing because they weren't caught on camera, and it was 4-6 ppls words against my 1 persons' word, and we were all teens, thus untrustworthy in the eyes of the law) I finally found the one and only thing that worked. I physically fought back the next time 4 of them jumped me after school, and won, leaving them all with bloody noses and black eyes, etc. winning a fight 4-on-1 was _extremely_ gratifying, as I'd never felt empowered before in my whole life, _almost_ as gratifying as telling the school admins I had no idea how these 4 teens that were older than me and that I'd already told on for beating me up got hurt... _and they "believed" me!_

the first story is WILD that child could have died if not found for simple things like hunger or dehydration, not to mention all of the other horrible things like cayotes, a bad person founding them etc...

Fun fact: the reason why men in historical dramas from Korea, China and Japan have long hair is because in ancient times they did believe your body was the property of your parents and you therefore could not cut your hair as it actually wasn’t yours.

I think Click is right on the money at 40:50. Its not the partner the parents have a problem with, its the fact that their child is an adult now, and is living an adult life. The parents dont realize that if they want to keep their relationship with their daughter, they need to adapt and change the relationship. Even if OP got rid of her boyfriend, it wouldnt solve the core problem.

Dropping a child off at a place with no prior arrangement for childcare is classified as abandonment in the US. Like CPS is not joking even slightly. I once listened to my manager threaten to call CPS on a lady who was 2 hrs late to pick up her kid with no excuse. What that cousin did was abandonment, straight up and is the reason that law exists.

Yo, memory unlocked! When I was really little, like maybe four or something, I had a pair of rubber duckie boots that had squeakers in them and they could keep me entertained for hours. I was like a dog with a chew toy when my parents brought me outside to play. I would simply step and stomp the entire time giggling about the duckie squeaks. I would throw a fit if they put any other shoes on me and I was devastated when I grew out of the boots. I loved those duckie boots so much.

1:58 No, Click, they do have a choice. They can call CPS, because leaving a child at someone's doorstep without prior agreement and without seeing them face-to-face is child-abandonment under the law, if I'm not mistaken. 4:50 This is when the Best Man walks over to that couple and asks them to leave. You don't do that at a wedding.

I HAVE ORDERED A DEMON OF PRIDE AND EMOTIONAL SUPPORT!🎉🎉

"No really asks about your favorite color after a certain age, which is a shame." Ok everyone, what's your favorite color?

the first story - a small child could die of dehydration within a few days, not to mention they can't moderate their body temperature as well as an adult, due to their small body mass. plus all of that, sitting in your own excrement for days can cause skin breakdown, leading to infection up to and including sepsis, which has a very high mortality rate. the cousin should lose custody and go to jail. what a horrible person! and blaming op? wtaf? what would have happened if the grandparents hadn't come that day and the child sat until monday? and the neglect is so obvious - when they didn't hear back from OP after an hour....two....five...? wouldn't you follow up..?

The whole wheelchair thing reminded me of something that happened to me a few years ago: I had to spend the whole month of december in the hospital after suffering a brain hemorrage... it was bad... as in "I woke up one morning and the whole left side of my body was limp, with no control nor sense of touch" For my whole stay I was in a wheelchair, safe for when in the hospital gym to do rehabilitation or doing the walks with the stroller that the doctor told me to do to help me re-learn how to walk. Anyway, one afternoon I came back to my room and one of the half dozen guests my roommate was having (note: one visitor at a time is the max allowed) was chilling sitting in my wheelchair like it was some sort of throne... 1 - that is a medical prevision, don't treat it like any seat 2 - even when the assigned patient is not there, that wheelchair belongs to someone who ACTUALLY NEEDS IT, so lift your lazy ass and if you are too tired to stand up I'll have you know there are a lot of free chairs in the waiting room 3 - what kind of adult doesn't respect a wheelchair and its purpose? I don't know how much open space there is in the empty skull of that moron, but I sure am not eager to sit in one of those things again. Respect hospitals. Respect patients. Respect anything related to them, you really don't want to be in their place or know how it feels.

If something happens to a child in that phase "before they can remember" it's 100x (i don't actually how much worse) more psychologically damaging because that's when the pathways to which you process your physical world are developing, so that individuals subconscious brain will remember what happened to them, and react in ways that the adult individual doesn't understand (abandonment issues), because they don't remember what happened, but their subconscious is setting off all the alarms to make sure it never happens again, because that's where the "memory" is stored at that age.

I am glad for two things- one, that I am finally here early enough for a video, and two, that I do not interact with any entitled parents on a regular basis. Thank goodness I finally got out of retail work

My mother now watches your videos (I mean conservative Christian mom) and she absolutely loves it 😂 Changed her views a lot. Thanks now she’s…. …bisexual….? NO WAIT 😭 now I have a stepmom thanks so much Click…

23:00 I can actually answer that.. I am still in contract with my mother, just limited. And she was really gross when i found a partner. I'm a trans guy and i'm dating a guy, so she started pushing me to have kids, cause she needs grandkids. We don't want kids and she only brings it up sometimes Always weird to see that post out in the wild

Those parents probably would more readily accept an abusive boyfriend over the nice one their daughter has, because misogyny is a hell of a drug. Couple of cowards who can't even confront the person they dislike so much face to face

Every time I feel insecure about not being the perfect Montessori parent I wish I was, I'll find a Click video and suddenly I feel like Mom of the Year! 😂

My favorite colors are black, gold (as an accent color), pink (as an accent color), dark red, and dark blue. My favorite dinosaur is probably a raptor. Raptors are smart hunting/scavenging animals like humans. So I like to think they would've kept humans as pets if they survived long enough and then later promoted them to an allied species.

17:10 Nono Clicc - NOT petty - grieving and broken. She lost her own child, and is suffering a psychotic break. Heartbreaking. She needs help. REAL HELP. NOT this crap that victimizes another innocent child. To be clear, i haven't gotten past 17:21 yet. But I'm pretty darn confident of this. I lost a child myself, many years ago. In group support, there was a wide range of how parents coped. 18:03 Yup. Dayum. Jeff is SICK😢😢😢

One of my best friends got married, there was a 50s polkadot theme for the bridesmaids and flower girl who was the brides 2yr niece. The flower girl had on these adorable ladybug shoes that matched her dress perfectly. There was just one problem. They squeaked. No one not even the mum who bought the shoes knew this until they were put on her feet at the wedding. Everyone thought it was adorable surprise, her squeaking down the aisle dumping the whole box of flower petals in one place. The shoes were swapped for the rest of the day after the photos.

Whenever I feel like my parents are entitled for making me pet sit for 8 hours of a day, every day and I have to quiet as a mouse, I remember could be worse. Could be living with those types of parents instead.

24:30 Okay, Internet Uncle-Gay🏳‍🌈 and husband have lived at the same house for 25 years now. We have, during that time, periodically gotten mail for one of the other houses on the block, whether the house next door, or 4 houses down. _Never, _*_EVER_* have we opened a letter meant for one of the neighbors. And we always, _always, _*_always, ALWAYS_* take the letter over to the correct address and put it in the mailbox within 12 hours. That, children, is called *_RESPECT_* - respect for other people, respect for your community, _respect for federal law governing the mail._ Practice Respect. This has been a public service announcement from your Internet Uncle-Gay🏳‍🌈.

On the one where the parents are weirdly against their daughter's boyfriend . . . I could be borrowing trouble, I might just watch too much TV or something, but . . . maybe the boyfriend and the girlfriend should both take a DNA test, just to be 100% sure there's nothing there the parents know that they don't :[]

40:42 - That young lady needs to understand (and FAST, before any kids enter the picture) that who her boyfriend is, and what either of them do, will never be the issue; the issue is that previously, her parents had the most influence and control over her life and her choices, and her finding a life partner means that they are not the most important elements in her life anymore. It's about maintaining control and keeping her under their thumbs. She and her partner will never be good enough for her parents, because the only "good" outcome to them is one where they are the center of her life until the day her parents die.

First story is criminal child endangerment. Not only should she lose custody, she should be facing jail time.

I’m sure the ice one was to prevent the child from getting too much soda, but just be honest with your child and tell them that. Not only will you avoid putting others on the spot, you can start building good habits in your kid, especially if you offer a choice and tell them why.

Oh dang a new subreddit for Click, honestly can't believe he hasn't done this subreddit yet till now.

Ok whoa! The 1st story, where she abandoned the baby? The POLICE and CPS should have been called immediately!!! If the grandparents hadn’t come by, the baby would have DIED of THIRST(takes 3 days, or less for infants) or EXPOSURE. It’s a miracle it survived the night. Idk that this story was quite given the gravity it deserved

I can somewhat sympathize with the woman in the stroller trying to get a spot on the bus... its kinda frustrating that some busses don't have more than one space for strollers and wheelchairs...or bikes. I park my bike there sometimes :p But if there's a wheelchair user or a stroller getting on the same buss (and its not one of those busses with multiple spots) I just leave... I can imagine its annoying if two people who ACTUALLY need that space needs to get on the same buss... But getting mad at a wheelchair user and accusing them of faking a disability isn't helping... especially if your stroller is foldable. Blame the buss company in that case for not being accommodating enough for people with disabilities and small children. Heck I recall one time a buss had to LEAVE a wheelchair user behind... not because the spot was taken but because the lift they use to get them onboard wasn't working (which was a common problem with those busses... thankfully they're no longer in use) They called a taxi for them but still... it was freezing cold that day and the wheelchair user probably had to wait at least 5 minutes if not more for a cab to arrive in freezing snow...

drinking game: take a shot for every time the click says "that/this is wild/absolutely wild" jokes aside, I'm surprised this was never covered 💀 you're in for one hell of a roller coaster my guy, enjoy the ride and the frustration that comes with it

Since it has been at least 30 years since somebody asked about my favourite dinosaur, I'm using this opportunity. Mine is the Microraptor. As seen with the name it's a small one, With feathers and 4 wings so it could glide. Just picturing these little critters gliding through the forest is a nice idea

God that "It's my body I made it" shit legit triggers me, my mom constantly says shit like that to me. "Don't ever dye your hair/get it cut x way/get a piercing or tattoo, I made that body!" Mom I am a grown ass adult, it is not about you anymore.

Imagine disowning someone over a tattoo of the Solar System.

"You can't just sue out of nowhere..." Yes you can. In the USA you can pretty much sue anyone for any reason. It can be very expensive if you lose though.

Even emotional support demon cant save these parents

Me, having previously seen the Katie/Gabrielle story on other channels; "Oh great, this psycho again". Click, reading it blind, not knowing what's coming: "Wow calling her Gabby is so petty!" Me, pointlessly to my tv screen; "Oh Click, no, it's SO much worse than that.

Click just always seems like he'd make a great goofy dad or uncle
