Spoiled and Self Entitled (30)
nonsmoker: Is this behavior indicative or epidemic of the younger generation of Millennials and Centennials or Did we all go through a phase walking the earth with a false sense of being owed something just for being ourselves
This story is prime of the type of thing I am speaking of. Although a bit extream but I hope it paints the picture.
PS - Get off MY LAWWWWWWWWWN ..

I don't have time to read the article, but the heading says a lot
I think as a teenager/young adult everybody kinda things the world owes us a good life. We then learn that we have to provide it for ourselves against the odds.

"high maintenance" a source of pride" for some people.

When I left home to venture out into the big wide world, I already knew how to operate the washing machine and cook half a dozen different things. Of course the first thing I did, was to find a good looking girl to wash and cook for me...
It seems to me, a lot of mothers are quite happy for their kids to bring their washing home for Mum to wash, and even prepare meals for them. Like they deliberately avoided teaching their kids to function independently as adults, in order to stay needed.
Without reading the article, I'd say her father is a lawyer and told her to do it, while Mum was either washing her clothes or putting together a feed.

When we were young, my mother taught my brothers to cook and clean and do everything for themselves as she both wanted them to be able to do it, and also she was determined that they would never expect me to do it for them.
She did it so well, they learned more than me

I think perhaps a rising standard of livng has something to do with it.
When my parents had their first flat, they kept milk in a bucket of cold water under the sink.
When I went to uni, it was a source of astonishment that we had inadequate, or no refrigeration facilities in halls of residence, but essays were handwritten and we walked everywhere.
Now, laptops, cars, ensuit showers, etc., are all considered essential university equipment.
We can hardly blame kids caught up in a capitalist system for having capitalist expectations.
It's unfortunate, though. A bit of striving and hardship is a good teaching tool.
Of course, some have way too much of that learning experience.

Jack thats very true,
I remember growing up there where a lot of houses had small gardens with flowers, now most of those small gardens have been converted into drives to accommodate their multi car families..
We considered ourselves lucky to have 2 TV'S and C64 in the early eighties,
We were the talk of the town
But I dont think we ever had a sense of entitlement 
But maybe others thought I/we did. And yes 24/7 shopping and an unlimited amount of choice drives our world today, So I would only think it fair to say marketing on a scale never before seen has influenced our more tech savvy Generations.
Another win for Bernays and a loss for social dignity perhaps..

They walked across the street from the high school to smoke cigarettes on the neighbors' lawn.
Get yourself and your filthy butts-off my lawn.
I also noticed how many assume a crouch down position,the best way to view your phone for hours.
Squats or sits on floor with phone in public waiting lines.
