5 Things Modern Kids Expect From Their Parents That Are Very Annoying

Everyone knows that the Millennials have a bad reputation for thinking that they are entitled to everything and having an easy life. As for the next group, Generation Z, they are continuing this trend of entitlement strongly.

Where did this idea come from? Who put it these ideas in these kids' heads that they are entitled to living a life without having to put any work. It can be clearly understood that many wealthy kids can live this type of life, but it seems like even kids of the lower class are demanding the same.

Yes, everyone deserves that life, but the truth is that it is not real. Unless one comes from a super wealthy family, one could imagine that life could be possible. Anyway, modern kids seem to expect so much from their parents. This article will cover the top five things kids expect from their parents which makes it very annoying for any hard working parent.

Many kids expect their first car to be free and new, on top of it. Not necessarily new, but to be the newest car brought to the family. Kids, nowadays, expect their parents to bust their ass and buy a new car for them while they sit and watch TV.

The way it should work is that parents should buy a new car for themselves, like a nice SUV, or a beautiful sedan, and give the old car to their kid. For modern kids, this is unacceptable.

In reality, it has always been that way. The oldest car becomes a hand-me-down. This idea is ludicrous for modern kids because they do not want to be seen in the car that was used to drop them off at the middle school. Too bad!

Another option for parents, when buying a car for their kids, is to buy a bucket that has a nice look to it. Afterall, teens will only use the car to go to school and, hopefully, work.

Additionally, teens are brand new drivers. The chances of them scrapping the car or getting in an accident are quite high. Instead, it seems that modern kids want the best just like when they get cell phones and laptops.

For some crazy reason, kids expect for parents to pay for college. Say what? College is very expensive, and paying for it is not a responsibility for parents. College is an opportunity for anyone, so kids should look to see how they will pay for it on their own.

See, parents have covered bills since the beginning of their kids' lives. So, paying for college is really an absurd idea. See, kids are already adults when they head off to college, and parents should have raised them to be adults and go fetch their own opportunities. Believe it or not, this country has plenty of opportunities for kids as young adults to take advantage of if they want an education.

If parents want to pay for their kids' college while easily affording it, then that is a beautiful thing! Parents that cannot afford it easily, then it is suggested to tell your kids to look for other ways to pay, which many options are available. If the kid is raised right, he or she will understand.

Parents that can't pay for college should not feel bad. Parents should strictly get their kids ready for the world and ready to be able to survive on their own. By paying for their college while they are adults, it is somewhat contributing to their inability to take on the world.

It seems that many teens do not seem to be good at getting jobs in these modern times. The lazy teen has been trendy for quite some time and the trend seems to be getting stronger. Well, while they binge-watch TV shows or binge on video games, they still demand that parents buy them nice things.

Technically, parents are still responsible for their kid's materialistic things until they are 18 years of age. However, nice things are not mandatory. If the kid is good, then the deserves good things.

However, being ultra lazy is being bad, or it is considered to be a despised characteristic trait. Parents should not condone lazy behavior from their kids. So, when they want nice things while being the superlative of laziness, maybe those nice things should be mediocre as well.

In other words, provide the basics. If they want things that are out of the budget, tell them to get a job! Maybe, a job will teach them the workforce and some social skills that they could easily use in the future when they are providing adults.

This could also apply to wealthy parents. The lesson that kids get from jobs is one of the best they can get. Kids that go through high school without having at least one job have to run into some type of social problems later in life, right? It's got to be true because damn!

Treating your kids is grand, and it is very rewarding. However, do not become their slaves. Do not clean room for them! Do not wash their clothes! Also, give them chores for crying out loud!

This notion of not being their slaves, of course, applies when they are teenagers, meaning from 15 years of age and up. Before that, you can pamper them and treat them like kings and queens. Once they near that 13 or 14 years of age, parents have to begin the talk about contributing to the family.

Since kids cannot pay bills, they can help clean the damn house! Stop being their slaves. When kids hit their teen years, parents have to help them bridge from being children to adults. That means, that parents have to give their teenage offsprings responsibilities. This includes chores!

The Millennials and Generation Z are considered to be the most spoiled when it comes to transportation. At one point, there was a moniker known as the Chauffeured Generation. It is true, kids nowadays expect to be driven everywhere.

Again, when they are children, drive them everywhere! As teens, parents should start to tell them to get to places on their own. This should probably start around the age of 16, depending on the destination.

Teach your teen son or daughter to use the bus or train. Teach them to get used to a bicycle for crying out loud! This will teach them to be independent. Kids that get driven everywhere by their parents, at a late age, tend to become very dependent.

This trait, depending on parents to do everything, tends to take over at every level or situation of life. That is a sin! Parents must teach their kids on how to be independent or help them begin that journey when they are in their late teens.

So, next time your kid asked to be driven to their friend's house on a Saturday afternoon, your day off! Tell them to take the bike. Make sure to add the word bum at the end of your sentence too!

In the end, modern kids, Millennials, Generation Z, and whoever comes next, have a bad reputation because they tend to be massively lazy. Well, that is not their fault! It is the parent's fault for creating this horrible epidemic of dormant kinetic activities by kids nowadays.

It would be safe to say that Generation X could be at fault. This generation gave too much to their offsprings, making them almost useless for the real world. Please stop this approach.

When one has a hard life, they tend to give their children everything so the child will not have a hard life. However, it is not what you give them materialistically, it is knowledge you must pass on. Teach kids that wisdom also comes from life experiences, and living a life staring at screens is not going to fulfill the soul with intuition. Anyway, go tell your kids to get a damn job!
