“Choosing beggar” is an online term used to describe people who make unreasonable or entitled demands. And there’s a whole subreddit dedicated to this colorful bunch.
Perhaps somewhat surprisingly, parents make up a considerable number of them. So we at Bored Panda decided to try and see what their requests are usually about. Turns out, child care is arguably their top priority.
To show you that some moms and dads need a reality check, we compiled a collection of moments when they tried to get someone to watch their kids for (basically) free.
