A group of young women in gowns sit on a bench as they await the ride to prom. -
“A while back was senior prom for my son and daughter. Myself/my husband, parents of son's girlfriend and mother of daughter's boyfriend all pitched in and rented the two couples their limo to bring them to the prom. The four had plans to go together in the same limo and we, the parents supported that idea. At school the week before prom my son said at dinner that day his former football teammate asked if he’d mind if my son shares a limo with him and his date because teammates help each other, my son politely said that he already has a limo ride planned for himself along with his girlfriend, sister and sisters boyfriend they don’t want to plan a big ride for a lot of people and their ride is already covered to just take them. The former teammate then tells my son he needs to make room for him and his date, which again my son says that's not going to fit plans that have already been made.”

“Two days later, in my morning cycling class at the gym, (I work for one of the people who attends the class), a woman approaches me before class begins and says she’s the mom of the teammate my son declined to help. I know who she is from the football season of being at the games. I told her that my kids have already made their plan for their ride to prom and that it’s already paid for the time that they’ll need the limo. The woman then says her son is a former teammate and he deserves to ride with them. I told her her son should’ve thought ahead and made better arrangements because nobody is going to change their plans last minute. As much as the woman tried pleading her son's entitlement, I just ignored her acting way she acted.”

Entitlement is obviously a trait that can be passed down from generation to generation. So, the teen's behavior isn't really surprising after you see how his mom acts. The extreme entitlement and guilt tripping is disappointing, for both mom and teen.

A large white limousine car. -
“It’s not that my son and daughter don’t want to share a limo with anyone else but their respective significant others, it’s more that they’re all close and wanted the experience to the four of them because they’ll be going off to different colleges and want to make the best memories together that they can together, and they did make prom memories with their other friends. As for the former teammate, I heard he got a ride by other means.”

A well-dressed young man gives his prom date a corsage for the dance. -
“To address a few things: my son, daughter and their respective significant others planned to go as a double date long in advance so that was how I was able to work with my husband and the other parents to book their private ride long in advance so it wasn't a matter of did the other seniors mom not getting to split the cost nor was it about the other senior not asking if it could be a triple date it was just a preference made in advance.
