Introduction

For some weird reason unknown to humankind, people believe the rules of civilized society no longer apply to them once they’ve had kids. They believe they’re entitled to do certain things that they would have never imagined doing in the past, and are power tripping on the confidence that comes from having kids and a family to protect at home.

Their parental instincts kick in so strong you’d be forgiven for believing we’re still in the jungles carrying out life as primeval cavemen and cavewomen. They get on a power trip because they feel its a valid justification for protecting their children even when they know they’re in the wrong, and even if their child isn’t in any mortal danger.

Their existing ego gets painted with a thick coat of entitlement after having kids, something that sane logical human beings just cannot wrap their heads around.
