When one decides to be a parent, it's important that they realize they need to stop it with the selfish, entitled behavior they once engaged in.
After all, taking care of a kid is hard work. Especially when both parents aren't in the picture.

The mother was exceptionally angry, but the family expressed that he couldn't touch any of the funds until he turned 18, and she wouldn't see a dime of it period. Scroll below to read the full story.
