The story in this video
My mother demanded the best seat at my own graduation party
I hosted a small party for my graduation. My mother arrived early and sat in the armchair I had put aside for my grandfather, who walks with a stick. I asked her to swap. She said she was the mother, so she was the guest of honour. I said the guest of honour was the person who graduated, and the person with the stick had the chair. She said I had no manners. I offered to fetch her a cushion. She stayed on the arm of a sofa, glaring at the buffet, and my grandfather sat in the armchair and told the best stories of the evening.
About 42 seconds read aloud. An original story written for ChatsRat, with invented people and no real places or businesses.
How a entitled parent story works
A entitled parent story is about a parent who expects staff, neighbours and the adult children to bend every rule.
- The beats
- A person who believes the rules are for others, a member of staff or a family member who stays kind, and a quiet consequence.
- What makes it work
- A restaurant, a hotel corridor or a lawn: places where the rules are visible and the demand is clearly beyond them.
- What to leave out
- Children in the conflict, real businesses and real family names. The parent here is a character; keep them recognisable but invented.

Four twists for a entitled parent story
The reveal
Then somebody mentioned, very quietly, that the person making the fuss had quietly been a regular all year, and every single one of us had known them by name.
The update
There was an apology a week later, a very stiff one, with a plant. I accepted it, and I kept the plant. It has since outlived the fuss.
Karma
Next time, the person asked for the same thing somewhere else, and was met with a very pleasant, very firm no, delivered by someone who had read every word of the rules.
The receipts
I saved the receipt, the text and the photograph. I only had to show one of them, and that was enough to end the conversation.
