r/Entitledparents Neighbor DEMANDS I Give Her Son My New PlayStation 5 

Entitled mother: “allergies aren’t real unless you let them” So an 8 year old is somehow faking blood coming out of his mouth? Even if a light wasn’t on or something, why wouldn’t she check to see if he wasn’t faking? She was practically babysitting someone else’s child, yet had not a care in the world about them.

In the first story, it sounds like the "wife" is sniffing around looking for inheritance from the family and is probably a scam/con that the husband is in on.

Man, the story about the entitled Grandma brought tears to my eyes. That Dad is a stand-up guy, with a pure heart. I hope him and his kids are doing well.

Yes, purposely feeding someone something you know they’re allergic to counts as intentional poisoning.

Is it just me or am I the only one who would’ve gotten the police involved for harassment and possibly a restraining order to stop that entitled couple being such selfish pricks and give them a taste of reality?

On the 2nd story: I hate it when people say you should give in just to ‘keep the peace’, that’s the equivalent of giving a spoilt brat a chocolate bar because they had a tantrum! 🙄

Every EP story: "Gimme your shit" "No" *heavy metal starts playing*

"It's supposed to be kids this year not adults who acts like a kid and plays video games" This man has been living under a Dwayne Johnson, adults play videogames, I think his mind is still in the 90's where people have not so weird taste in music, like holy shit, the future is now old man.

Ah yes. This time of the year when all the entitled people use their children and the olf It'S cHrIsTmAs excuse.

OP: *is literally dying* Karen: ALLERGIES AIN'T REAL YA FOOL!

“Allergies aren’t real unless you let them” Oh cool. Il remember that next time I eat a peanut and can’t breath

My Dad was lucky enough to get a pre order PS5 and then again lucky enough to get to GameStop early enough to be one of 5 out of 17 people able to get one because there weren't enough. Now I'm even more glad we have no neighbors.

There's no point selling them the PS5. They will never be grateful because they've already convinced themselves that they have a right to it. Handing it over will only make them demand more.

Yooooo don’t let other kids parents try to guilt you into taking care of them. If their son wants a PS5, it’s up to them to figure it out. Not the random ass neighbor who just wants to enjoy some fuckin downtime. Strangers don’t ruin Christmas for kids, their parents do.

4:55 My dad, in his late 40's, still plays video games and plays them whenever he can. Say you're too old NOW. You can't be too old.

The dad in the entitled grandma story- sooooo sweet to be thinking of how his late wife felt about her mother. Good gravy, what a good man! The grandmother is stupid to have treated that gem so badly!

The fiancée in the PS5 story ought to consider a restraining order instead.

“You are too old to be playing video games” More than half the games in the world are rated M MADE FOR ADULTS.

This whole leaving packages with neighbours is so weird. Here in Australia that's not a thing at all. No way I'd trust a neighbour to look after my stuff

guy: i am really allergic to potatoes me: *cries for him* they'll never know of the inner peace of monching on fries... *cries harder*

Not trying to be rude or anything, but why do neighbours/EP's automatically assume that OP or anyone gives a f*ck about their kids

It’s very hard to believe that people like this exist...mostly because I’ve never encountered an entitled parent but I know they’re out there.

O my god his Karen voice is on point

There's simping, there's Skippy, and then there's Sandy's husband.

The moral of the PS5 story: never tell anyone what you ordered. Especially when it is a hot commodity. Same goes for Apple products.

6:29 if an entitled couple said I'd "ruined a 7 YO kid's Christmas" my answer would usually be the same "look I know it's a crazy concept, but I don't give a crap about your kid's Christmas"

I imagine an alternative ending to the story of the PS5 with the man selling it to them just to have their spoiled brat braggin about it everytime he goes out like "Wanna play mister? Oh wait you don't have a PS5!".

"Husband to yell at his wife's boyfriend's family." That sentence hurt my head. XD

The 2nd parents would have been in a better position if they had not promised their kids something they could not produce. When they say think about the children, they should think about what they could give their child not what someone else to give their child.

I was in my late 30s when my wife made "friends" with an entitled B---- a few blocks down. This woman also believed allergies are a mental issue, not a physical one. I am extremely allergic to most berries. Some will made me just violently ill and some will kill me if ingested. One autumn she came over for a potluck dinner and brought a spaghetti casserole dish, tomato based sauce. Wanting to be nice I tried some. Has a strange taste. I asked what was in it and she said it was "family secret". About the third bite in I could feel my throat constricting. I tried to get to the EpiPen we keep in the kitchen, but by now my airway was completely constricted, I couldn't breathe. And I passed out. when I gained consciousness I was in the hospital. The rest is from my wife. The "friend" was yelling at me to get up and stop faking, even though I now have deep red splotches forming on my skin. She got the EpiPen, injected me and within about 30 seconds I could at least breathe a little. My wife called for an ambulance, all the time the "friend" is yelling allergies aren't real, I"m FAAAKINNGGG!!!! This B----- laced the casserole with a strawberry puree. As soon as the EMTs heard this, they grabbed the casserole as evidence. the "friend" at this point was trying to leave, WITH the casserole. End of story, she was going to get 5 years in prison for intent to cause bodily harm (the DA was originally shooting for attempted homicide). Her lawyer got the judge to commute the sentence to time served, full restatutions for all my hospital bills and time missed from work (about 2 months), some punitive damages, 1000 hours of community service, and to never be within 500 yards of me or my wife. She sold her house within 2 months and moved to another section of town.

Most games are rated M for Adults. And yet I keep hearing 6-9 year olds rage when I knock them out in CoD.

I have oral allergy (Oral allergy syndrome is caused by allergy antibodies mistaking certain proteins in fresh fruits, nuts or vegetables for pollen), and I have it against quite a few things: Sunflower seeds (this one is the worst of them), walnuts, bananas, melons, honey, oatmeal and a few others I can't recall right now. My mother wouldn't take this allergy too seriously until recently, when she said "I'll put the walnuts so small in the cake you won't notice them". It was then when my younger brother came to my aid and said "It's not about the size of the walnuts' pieces, but the fact that they are there". She finally understood, and that day she made an extra cake without walnuts so I could eat too. She's amazing.

Last story: I would call it "CHILD ABUSE " plan and simple because op was bleeding around the mouth for some reason and no medical attention was sought by the mother. Isn't it the parent's responsibility to seek medical aid for the visiting child if something "might" have been wrong?

You know, rslash, we wouldn't have been mad if you had taken a break for Christmas. Glad you uploaded, anyway Edit: he probably did record an extra video in advance so he wouldn't have to record on Christmas, but that still takes a little extra time away from being with family and such during the holiday season

“In what world is it right for a husband to yell at his wife’s boyfriends family” WTF?!

Guy: Tells his mom what happened Mom: *reloads entire arsenal with malicious intent*

"Why won't you think of the chiiildreeeen?" Because ma'am, sir, or other applicable title: That's the parents job. Not mine.

In that last story, that's straight child abuse/endangerment and the friends mom should definitely be arrested for that

“Christmas is about kids” No sweetie it’s about the birth of our god and savior Jesus.

"You're too old to play video games." All the 18+ rated video games out there : *Am I a joke to you?*

the PS5 story, op should also tell their fiancée that if they give in to the bullying and harassment from the neighbors that they're bound to do it again with something else later down the line

What I find more bizarre than two parents trying their luck at getting a PS5 is that the girlfriend is trying to get him to cave into peer pressure.

"My fiance asked if I could sell them the console, just to keep the peace." If this was me: "YOU WANT A BATTLE? HERES A WAR!" Also, I hope you didn't give them the PS5.

As a polyamorous person, there is literally no way you could ever justify that woman's husband yelling at her boyfriend's family lmao

People using the "You're too old for that!" argument to justify things to bend to their will honestly peeve me to no end. What are they trying to do? Make us cave under judgement and self consciousness? That's not their call to make, and certainly none of their business to be ordering others around like that. That aside, i feel iffy on how Fiance was that willingly easy to just give up to keep the peace honestly.

Child: *bleeding and dying on floor* Karen: "Stop overreacting!"

"Too old to play video games anyway" Every Gaming RU-vidr ever: am I a joke to you?

They shouldn't have promised their child anything, that's their problem. I'd have told them that I would sell it to them for double what I paid for it and they would definitely have backed off. Who cares about all the stares and trash talk?

I'm shit with Justice but I'm pretty sure that the mother of the allergic OP could get the friend's mom in court for none assistance of person in danger

If I was in his shoes and that family tried that emotional blackmail with me, the second they brought the kid over, i wouldve said "Well maybe your dad will take you to the store and buy you one, I had to work hard for mine." I mean REALLY turn it around on the parents to make them the bad guys.. Also, if that neighborhood is as upscale as he says, then those parents can afford to pay a scalper for one... (DONT SUPPORT SCALPERS!!)

I don’t have Reddit, but I wanted to mention this. One day I was just playing Roblox, which is a game with many other games inside of it, and others can make games inside of it, probably not the best explanation but I tried. Anyways, I was playing a game and it was basically a would you rather and you could insert your own would you rather, so I made one that said, would I rather play Minecraft, or play Roblox? And my favourite game is Minecraft but I play Roblox sometimes, so the answer is Minecraft, but then immediately after, this kid started saying “then go play Minecraft instead!” And I was playing with some of my friends and they responded and said “huh? They are playing with friends though” then this some of the entitled part, “MY DAD MADE THIS GAME, AND I WILL BAN (insert my username here)” and instantly I was like “okay, if this is real ban me from the game.” And they typed in the /ban stuff and then they said “ it will ban you in 100 seconds! You need to have some fun before you are banned.” Then 5 seconds later typed “wait, FINE I WILL UNBAN YOU” and typed the unban command WRONG. And yet I was never banned. Then in their custom would you rathers, where “ban (insert username here), or slap (username here)” and at this point I knew this was just an entitled kid who honestly didn’t like the fact I was playing Roblox instead of a different game. I have no idea why this kid felt like this was a bannable problem. XD Have a good 2021!

I’m satisfied with the thought of big Steve, bank manager, ordering Sandy to leave for some old woman who has been loyal to his bank for 2 decades

I work at a game store, god I can only imagine how it's gonna be today

That last one had child endangerment written all over it

So I'd like to share 2 entitled people stories that happened to me. Both are short and unsatisfying but I want to let out my anger. The first one happened when I about 5ish. Me and my Mom were at a small beach. We were minding our own business when this crazy lady walking by starts yelling at out of nowhere. I was obviously scared so I started crying and hid behind my mom. After about 5 minutes, the crazy lady walked away walked away. I asked my mom what just happened and she said, "Some people just do really mean things." The second story happened when I was eleven about a year before Covid. My family was on a trip to Hawaii over Spring/Easter break. On Easter day. there was this event where all the kids would search for Easter eggs. There were 2 sections: One for little kids, and one for big kids like me. There were also golden eggs that were rare. I was looking for eggs when I overheard this: Karen: Look K! Is that a golden egg? I rushed over and sure enough, there was a golden egg. I reached for it but Karen stopped me. Karen: WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!? Me: What is wrong with me? What is wrong with you!? Karen just laughed and walled away with K and the egg Karen is in the wrong because A) K looked to young to be in the big kid section. B) It's her fault I overheard her and. C) She GRABBED MY ARM TO STOP ME LIKE WHAT ON EARTH LADY?????? Hope you guys enjoy these stories and if either of you Karens are reading this, y u bully me.

EG: spends 500k in one year Mr. Beast: Hold my briefcase

am i the only one here thinking an expensive console is actually for adults not 7 years old kids... like don't get 500$ stuff to your kid, that's crazy

I've never understood this, what parent makes a promise about a Christmas gift or any kind of gift for that matter, when they don't already have it?!? That's just setting yourself and your kid up for disappointment, don't promise if you don't already have it in hand!! My 7 year old wanted a Rubik's cube lol.

EP: "Christmas is about kids!" OP: Youre right, im gonna go try and make by own with my girlfriend so that my kid can have the ps5 when they want it.

That's why my parents never promised me anything in certain day. They always say "Look, we can't buy it right now, but as soon as we can, we'll buy it for you, ok?" (I'm still 16, but since a very young age I understood that sometimes I can't have what I want when I want, and if I really want something and my parents said they're not buying it now, I wouldn't throw myself in the ground and cry. I always said "oh ok then, can we get chocolate?")

“Allergies aren’t real unless you let them be” tell that to my seafood anaphylaxis, Karen

EG: *gets 500k and wasted* Karma: there's a tax for that

It's so disgusting that inheritance issues can tear families apart. I've witnessed this(not my family). The vultures come out and their intentions are clear, while others in the family only want to grieve and maybe take something with sentimental value. Some are so greedy and entitled. It's gross. Peace my friends

My grandma is 80 and she is a gamer. you are never too old for video games.

"Christmas should be about kids!" Uh... Christmas shouldn't be about, you know... Christ? Like, about love and family and not about what you can get out of it? Isn't greed one of the deadly sins? What's the sense of this guy?

OP should threaten that entitled couple with calling CPS if they didn’t leave him alone and tell the truth. Entitled parents are afraid of CPS because they know what they are doing is wrong and harassment.

In the last story OP's mom could have charged friends mom with attempted manslaughter (probably other charges to any lawers i would like to hear what other charges you could put against them. Also am I right about it being attempted manslaughter)

for the PS5 couple...what next, 'oh my 16 yo REALLY wants a car for Christmas and you have a nice one.'

I’m 43 and my husband is 46 and we are not too old for video games! We have a 21 year old son and he loves when we play.

I really don't understand what they mean by: you ruined Christmas. It's not like he took a kid's present

I love to listen to these when im typing it helps me a lot ☺

Allergic to potatoes... My Irish soul cried hearing that

In the last story she definitely had to call the cops, that was insane, that woman deserves to go to jail, her kid will be better of growing without her.

I never knew you could be alergic to potatos, sounds like a living hell.

Christmas is about kids yes but it’s also for everyone. If you want the PS5 from OP offer extra? “OP, we’d love to get our son a PS5 but they’re sold out in stores. Could we buy yours? We’d offer you $200 more.”

As a kid, I really hated Christmas because my parents couldn’t afford to celebrate it. Now that I’m a full grown adult, I celebrate it with my sisters ❤

I'm just confused why the Uncle didn't break up with Sandy. Stalking my own mother and trying to force her to open a bank account for a child that isn't mine should've been the definitive end of the relationship. Not even before that point--- He should've put her in her place that until she was only married to him, she and her daughter is NOT part of the family.

'You're right, I should be thinking about the children, just not YOUR kid." The perks of being a person who isn't that kids parents is that it's none of your business what the kid wants for Christmas. THEY chose to have that kid, not OP.

Similar to the entitled grandma story, I've got an entitled daughter story. After my parents divorced my mom met an older man (about 15 years older). They lived together for over 20 years without getting married. As his health declined, my mom got power of attorney over his finances (his idea), and eventually they did marry. After he died, his daughter sued my mom, saying that my mom spent her dad's money ON HIS MEDICAL CARE, and that they weren't really married since her dad wasn't in his right mind. So the daughter was expecting that my mom would spend her own money on caring for someone that wasn't really her husband (according to the daughter). In the end my mom caved and gave the daughter $30k to make her go away. Insanity.

I have something that happened today, but i don’t have reddit so i’ll just share it here. We went shopping in Auburn in Sydney, when we decided to take Prestige Cabs, the man was nice and helped us out. When we arrived back at our home, my mum said, “Why didn’t you go back into the driveway for the parking?” The man replied, “We aren’t allowed to go into the basement.” I thought to myself that it was a rule for Prestige Cabs, i tried to tell my mum, and she just ignored me, “you could have at least gave me a thank you?” She replied with “There is no need to be rude.” She started to lose her patience. When we got to the elevator, i told her about them not being allowed to go into the basement and i was surprised she said “well i see other cabs do it” basically meaning others should too. Leading to now, typing this up. Hope my mum realises.

A bunch of people didn’t get a ps5 this year like they hoped what gives that guy the privilege to say their kid deserves one for Christmas because Christmas is all about the kids even though it’s not. 😤

So intentionally feeding someone something that they were told was an allergy is chemical assault which,i think, has a longer jailtime than manslaughter

The Father in the last story loved his Wife very much and it shows, he earned my respect 💪🏼

The parent who fed the kid potatoes despite being allergic. If someone ever did that to my child, I'd kick their ass into next century.

The only reason that 7 year old kid found out about the PS5 is because his parents were stupid enough to talk about it in front of him. I'm no gamer, so I couldn't care less about a console, but emotional blackmail is bang out of order - OP's neighbours need to grow the hell up.

Screw that neighbor for using his son as a means of trying to guilt the guy out of the PS5, and for trying the “too old for video games” crap. For saying that they promised the thing and ruined the kids Christmas. Screw them for turning the others against him. And NEVER GIVE THEM THE PS5!!!

I was REALLY hoping that OP in the PS5 story was going to say that he had just sold it to an elderly person

On the last story you see that OP has a SERIOUS allergic reaction and the EP does nothing about it. Reminder: This child is vomiting, has blisters in their mouth and also bleeding from the mouth. Now that child is in danger and the EP has done nothing. Now as RSlash looked it up and stated that it could count as assault. But I’m saying it may be able to be Child Endangerment due to the fact the child was IN DANGER and EP did nothing. (Side Note: Child Endangerment is a felony and could be charged with 1-10+ years in prison.)

"I'd love to give your son my PS5, but unfortunately when I was taking it out of the box I sneezed all over it. I tested positive for COVID later that day. Such bad luck!"

In that PS5 case I would go A-hole mode and say to the kid: Sorry you are not getting PS5 this Christmas. It's just that your parents were not clever enough to reserve one. And if the parents would continue arguing I'd continue: And Santa doesn't exsist so you are not getting it that way either. I might not do that to a family member but to a neighbor definitely.

"Video games are for children" Tell that to Hitman, Cyberpunk, GTA, Watchdogs, COD, and so many more brutal/mature themed games.

If I was OP in the ps5 story, I'd tell the neighbors "you're right, I got a change of heart and gave the console to a poor family" xD

Did anyone imagine the child running in circles, spongebob style, screaming it’s not fair?

That PS5 story could've been avoided OP had just said that the parcel was a custom present for his Mum, or a something a friend sent him. You never tell the truth to a neighbour.

so that's when I said "I don't know how to tell you this son but Santa caught the virus and is on a ventilator in the Fairbanks hospital....they don't think he'll make it...maybe you should ask your dad to buy you a PS5. Ya'll have a good day now." I immediately closed the door and called the post to make sure no future packages were left with that neighbor and swore to never humble brag about my purchases again. :-D

My buddy bought a PS5 and his entitled neighbor kept pestering for his nearly new PS4 pro because "You don't need it anymore" and he did what the commenter suggested the OP say he did, he donated it with tons of kids games to a local children's hospital. They actually have tons of consoles now because he started a trend, we went up there to help them hook stuff up and watching those kids light up was incredible and the anger in his EN's eyes was the cherry on top.

Red Flag Parents want the PS5 for themselves and using Their kid to try and trick Op to give them his .

In that last story, what that mom did definitely would count as Gross Negligence Leading To Bodily Harm.

"Allergies are only real if you let them be." She has clearly never seen someone with a sever allergic reaction. People like that make me furious.

For the PS5 story I just would have been like "Look you people are stupid for expecting me to give something that I worked hard for (as you know how difficult it is to get a PS5) to your son just because you promised him that he'd get one. Relying on others giving up what little they have for your family is horrible parenting" *shut door calmly*
