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.

Any comment that
1. Endorses child abuse (including pornography of such)
2. Imposes want to the point of imposition, meaning entitlement.
3. Contains self-entitled parent rhetoric, to the point of self-victimization
will not be published. Flexible application. Debate is allowed, but only civil arguments that presume the best of intentions in their opponent, on both sides.
