Female Teacher Shares Thoughts About Alleged ‘Entitled Kamag-anak’
A female teacher shared her thoughts on social media about alleged “entitled relatives” who get upset when they are not given financial help.
Recently, Myle Tagno, a Facebook user, shared her thoughts on social media about so-called “entitled relatives”. The post immediately spread like wildfire on social media and garnered various reactions from the online community.
In her post, she expressed frustration over the expectation that just because someone is a relative, they are automatically obligated to help when asked. She pointed out that everyone has their own financial responsibilities, bills to pay, and budgets to manage.
Just because someone can afford to eat out or treat themselves does not mean they have extra money to spare.
Tagno further explained that enjoying small luxuries in life, like dining in a nice restaurant, is not a sign of excess wealth but rather a personal reward for hard work and sacrifices. People often overlook the struggles, sleepless nights, and effort behind someone’s success
It is unfair to judge others without knowing what they went through to achieve what they have.
Myle also advised that instead of focusing on what others have, people should take a closer look at their own lives. Comparing oneself to others will only lead to resentment. Instead of feeling entitled to someone else’s success, she encouraged self-reflection and personal growth.
Many social media users shared similar experiences. Some agreed that financial help should not be an obligation, while others pointed out the importance of setting boundaries with relatives who demand too much.

“Entitled kamag-anak”
Hindi porke kamag-anak, obligadong tulungan at hindi pwedeng hindian, kapag nangailangan. Lahat naman kasi may needs, may bills na binabayaran, at higit sa lahat pinagkakasya lang din ang budget sa mga bayarin. Now, kung nakikita n’yong nakakakain sa labas ng masasarap, hindi ba pwedeng prize nila sa sarili iyon? Na tulad ng ibang tao, nagcecelebrate din sila ng small wins nila sa buhay. Hindi n’yo dapat sinisilip ang mga bagay na tulad n’yan, unang-una, wala naman kayong idea sa kung anong pagod, hirap, luha, at sakripisyo ang ipinuhunan nila, bago nila makuha ang anumang meron sila.
Bago manilip ng kabuhayan o buhay ng iba, mas maganda sigurong unahin silipin ang sariling buhay, baka nakakalimutan mo na kakatingin sa iba.”
