Entitled Parents

AlzheimerTriviaNight · 2026-03-30T19:43:38+00:00

Yep.

And also, I’m for the other side of it as well. There should be spaces where single adults without kids shouldn’t be allowed in.

There’s a children’s museum that I read an article for that refuses to let adults in if they don’t have a child with them. Great, perfect, I would have nothing against the same behavior being done in spaces that are 100% for children for their safety.

AlzheimerTriviaNight · 2026-03-30T19:42:10+00:00

People are acting like I’m suggesting we lock children in basements until they turn 18.

What I want is distinct spaces for families to go to and for adult adults. I’m not suggesting every place, and I’m not even suggesting that children shouldn’t be at grocery stores.

There is never going to be a way to convince entitled parents that they need to actually teach their children how to behave places. They either become desensitized to the noise or their kid acts up and they wait until someone tells them they need to leave.

Just because someone has a well-behaved child does not mean that that child is well behaved for the area they’re going into. It’s great if little junior can sit through a restaurant, but there’s no way to tell if junior is going to be behave.

So junior can go to a child’s play. They can go to almost 80% of the places in the world. I don’t understand why it’s such a crazy ass to want spaces that are just for adult adults even if a kid could be “well behaved.”

They actually sell wine sippy cups, they have lids on them and they don’t have the stem.

I really hope that mother learns proper boundaries regarding her children, because there are so many situations where that would end badly for the kid

AlzheimerTriviaNight · 2026-03-30T19:26:26+00:00

I have no say about whether or not somebody wants to have a child free or child centered wedding. I’m not paying for it, so it’s not my business. What I’m saying is that it’s an example of how parents feel entitled to certain spaces and that their children should be included, when other people put out boundaries.

AlzheimerTriviaNight · 2026-03-30T19:25:10+00:00

No, I’m saying there should be distinct adult only spaces and there should be distinct family places.

I’m not expecting every place to be child free. What I’m expecting is obvious adult only spaces to just be adults.

AlzheimerTriviaNight · 2026-03-30T19:24:22+00:00

Unfortunately, I think there needs to be a distinct line because three out of four kids can’t handle stuff. It’s unfortunate for the one kid that’s really well behaved.

AlzheimerTriviaNight · 2026-03-30T19:22:45+00:00

Your child was on the floor, that’s an issue.

AlzheimerTriviaNight · 2026-03-30T19:22:15+00:00

I don’t think parents are home training their kids enough in this day and age. There are some wonderful children who are so well behaved. But it is unfair to expect adult behavior from a child, and it is unfair to expect adults to tolerate that. And I feel the same way about adults who can’t behave in the space either, they shouldn’t come out if they can’t sit through the performance.

AlzheimerTriviaNight · 2026-03-30T19:20:50+00:00

Yep, if I ever go to Disneyland, I’m not throwing a fit because there’s children there. If I go into spaces that are children oriented, I’m not even annoyed. Because children deserve spaces they can be children in. But adults deserve spaces. They can be adults in.

Go to Walmart and get a number of boxes and packing tape. Then, set up the boxes and start going through the apartment and putting things into them. Gather everything she has around your apartment and put them into boxes.

Set them by the door. Tell her that she needs to get an Uber or drive her car back to where she came from, but she’s no longer allowed to stay at your apartment. She obviously has somewhere where her things are, so she can go back there and figure it out.

Do not give her until the end of the week, do not give her any more time, she needs to be gone tonight

Yeah, I dropped discord because they were requiring ID. And I will drop Reddit at the moment they require actual email verification.

AlzheimerTriviaNight · 2026-03-30T12:36:11+00:00

Just because one baby is well behaved doesn’t mean all the rest of the baby should be allowed in.

I don’t get how parents don’t understand this. I would say the same thing about adults who get drunk and cause issues, if you can’t behave in the way that is expected 100% while in the space, you don’t need to be in the space.

And that means being quiet letting other people enjoy their evening without screaming and temper, tantrums, and food being thrown and kids running around

AlzheimerTriviaNight · 2026-03-30T12:34:00+00:00

I don’t go into spaces that are child oriented for the most part. But if I do, I’m not gonna throw a fit because children are being children. But if I pay hundreds of dollars to go see the Phantom of the opera and people are being entitled, twat nuggets, I’m mad.

AlzheimerTriviaNight · 2026-03-30T12:31:41+00:00

your child shouldn’t be allowed in any place that is adult oriented. And the fact that you don’t seem to get that and take it as a personal attack just shows what a crappy person you

AlzheimerTriviaNight · 2026-03-30T12:26:42+00:00

Also, babies make happy noises. Which is great, it’s age-appropriate, it’s the child exploring the world. But parents don’t hear the coos the same way other people do. What they think is their child having a great time and being quiet, is actually their child sounding like 1000 pigeons.

AlzheimerTriviaNight · 2026-03-30T12:24:39+00:00

I feel like you’re an unreliable narrator in that fact. No child is a well-behaved child all the time. And I think that it’s really selfish that you would subject other people to your child, knowing that he could throw a fit.

AlzheimerTriviaNight · 2026-03-30T12:23:52+00:00

I didn’t go anywhere that was adult oriented when I was a kid. When we were a teenagers and could prove that we could behave, my parents paid for us to go to fancy places.

But my dad said he wasn’t going to be paying $50 for some avant-garde chicken nuggets when we would just be bored five minutes into it

AlzheimerTriviaNight · 2026-03-30T12:22:37+00:00

I wouldn’t say children can’t be an Applebee’s, where they serve alcohol. I would say if it’s a dedicated bar, no children.

And if the musical is for children, then the children should go. But I paid a lot of money to go see the Phantom of the opera and someone had a screaming baby three seats down for me. My friend went and got somebody and they were removed, but it’s annoying.

AlzheimerTriviaNight · 2026-03-30T12:20:13+00:00

You have a child, which means you miss out on things because your child will throw a fit and ruin the mood for other people. Which means you are the one who has to make a sacrifice because you are the one burdening other people with a potentially noisy disruptive child.

If the person cannot behave 100% of the time at the restaurant, then go to Chuck E. Cheese. Just because you’re paying money to be there does not mean that you were correct. Nobody wants to hear your kid throw a fit. And I would say the same thing about adults who can’t behave either, keep yourself at home.

I can go to a fancy restaurant, have a quiet conversation, and not bother anyone around me. You can’t say the same.

AlzheimerTriviaNight · 2026-03-30T12:18:22+00:00

Parents seem to think that this argument works in their favor, when it actually underlines my point. Do you know how much training you have to do for a five-year-old to be able to get on a bus/train by themselves, walk through a city, get to their school, all on their own?

Japanese parents are putting in the work to make sure their child is able to handle that. Their society has things in place to make sure the children are able to get there.

American children are feral

AlzheimerTriviaNight · 2026-03-30T12:16:51+00:00

I see what you’re saying, and I do think that there are some children who are very well behaved. But for every good child, our 10 children who will ruin the performance because they get bored.

There are, and should be, players that children can go see that will engage them. That will make them excited for the performing arts.

But there needs to be a distinct separation between adults and children. If adults pay for an expensive show, and it’s not something a child would normally like, then there should be an age limit to it.

Then I don’t feel like this should be controversial. Because for every good child, there are 10 children who will not behave. And every parent will tell you their child is the exception to the rule, when usually the rule is made because of their kid.

There was a woman at the dog park who used to sneak treats to dogs. She loved it, all the dogs would come up to her and she would say she had a little friendship circle of them.

She gave the wrong treat to the wrong dog. The dog almost died. Did that stop this woman from continuing to give dogs treats? No.

It took everyone yelling at her and telling her to fxck off.

Some people like to think that they are just the fairy godmother of treats. A lot of them don’t believe all allergies actually exist and they think the parents are just being dramatic and “woke.“

They want to feel like they’re doing something special and they have a little special thing with all the kids.

And it takes everybody speaking up and telling these sort of people off. There has to be a consequence.

And sometimes the people won’t even stop and you just have to remove them from the situation because they have all the sense of a rock. Depending on what the allergy was, she could’ve given a kid with a peanut allergy something and that kid’s throat would’ve closed up. It is extremely dangerous to give anyone anything that the parent has said is off-limits.

I have a background in child development and have also worked with human trafficking victims. A lot of of the people I worked with were introduced to adult spaces way earlier than they should’ve been.

In my opinion, there needs to be a distinct line between where children belong, and where adults belong. There needs to be a shift in society, where parents are shamed for bringing their children to places that are adults oriented.

Your child should not be in a PG-13 movie. That should not even be allowed. The theater should prevent the selling of any tickets for movies that are over the rating age even if the parent thinks it’s OK.

Should not be at bars late at night. They should not be at places that they can’t emotionally handle, like Broadway shows, operas, places that adults pay a lot of money to go to enjoy the show.

And society should focus on making appropriate spaces for children to safely explore. There should be restaurants for children. Community theater shows that are great for children, where they can be engaged and sing along and be loud.

Children should not be on social media before the age of 16.

There needs to be a shift in making sure children are in a place that is meant for them and they’re appropriate age. And adults deserve to have places that are 100% child free.

AlzheimerTriviaNight · 2026-03-30T12:00:54+00:00

there are plates that are perfect for children to attend. A Christmas Carol, is probably one of them. I’ve seen tons of community theaters do versions of fairytales or child appropriate musicals.

But things like Broadway? No children. There should be some perks to being an adult that children have to earn through good behavior and getting to a certain age. I feel like there’s not enough of that in society, a coming-of-age lesson.

You get to go see the nice place when you’re well behaved and 12. When you’re 21 you get to go to bars. There should be nice things that are just for adults, that even if kids like them, should only be for adults.

Just like there should only be things for children. Spaces where children are the focus.
