Title: Entitled Parents (r slash)
Post by: Matthew on February 19, 2019, 06:05:49 PM
There is a whole subreddit called "Entitled Parents" or /r/EntitledParents

Basically, it's filled with stories of horrible self-centeredness and selfishness. These parents (mostly moms) think the world revolves around their children. They are generally horrible parents, running interference so their children can get away with literally anything. From the stories I read, these parents install ZERO discipline upon their children. Their children often start crying on cue, etc.

Why are these moms so psycho? They lose all touch with common sense, decency, civility, and reality as they insist on free stuff, special treatment, sometimes to an outrageous degree. Some of them are literally crazy.

What causes this? Original sin of course (taken to the Nth degree) but it just hit me today that most of them are probably over-compensating for the abortions they had when they were younger. After all, that's one of the reasons the baby-killers give for why a mom should abort her baby, right? Because she's not ready, because she can't properly take care of it? So when she finally does have a baby, she becomes a helicopter mom and even an "Entitled Parent" trying to over-compensate for the little babies she killed earlier in her life.

She took away EVERYTHING, even LIFE from the first several, so this one she's going to make up for it by giving him EVERYTHING.

Maybe not all of them were created this way, but I bet quite a few were! And when it wasn't abortion, it was probably from guilt in not providing their children with a father (either because they were never married, or they divorced the father at some point)

Because it's pathological. There has to be a psychological/emotional reason why these women are going crazy like this.

PS. As additional evidence, witness the CRUELTY and HEARTLESSNESS these mothers are capable of, when it's a question of anyone but themselves and their child. They don't care if your child is dying. MY SON wants your iPhone; GIVE HIM your iPhone!

These moms (women in general, too) have too much freedom and authority granted to them by the matrix.

I think it's also largely narcissism, which is rampant in all parts of our society these days. The parents think they're perfect and (in the case of helicopter parents) think their kids should be perfect too and try to micro-manage, or (in the case of 0 discipline parents) think their kids ARE perfect and can do no wrong. Both awful ways of parenting.
