What is parental entitlement?

What is parental entitlement? Entitlement as a parent is denoted in the New Testament by the Greek root word πλεονέκτης (Latin: pleonektés), and is defined as, officially speaking, wanting things from children, to the point of imposition, leading to child abuse by way of offense perceived (see Col. 3:21 and Eph. 6:4 for details on offenses). It is the attitude that children owe you things just because you are the parent/adult. 

Ultimately, parental entitlement, in most cases, is any parent anger directed towards a child, usually in the form of an entitled backbone.
