Scuuuuuuse me!!! Pet peeve: WHO exactly supports that sense of entitlement????? Every teenager thinks at some time that the universe revolves around him or her. In fact, it's a definition of "teenager" - - - something like self-centered, egotistical, inconsiderate toward others......
I was that way too and my Mom and other adults taught me that I wasn't all that. If parents allow the behavior and fulfill every wish - how are those young people supposed to learn the ropes of life? Well - I guess they will when someone says NO to them.
