At the moment you were born, what were you entitled to?

Based on need, individual and communal, I would say that everyone is entitled to at least one parent that is capable of and willing to look after them until they are able to survive in the culture they were born into without being a burden on that culture or society.

    Things that exhibits good parenting skills -  Your child will most likely follow your example, not your advice.

    The only thing we are "entitled" to do is praise God.

    I don't recall ever feeling I was "entitled" to anything.  There are things I "need" to survive in this body.
    From the moment I took my first breath, I had no clue what to do next.  Many of us don't even do that until we are startled (spanked.)  I don't think I was entitled to be shown the tit.  That was by the choice of my mom and so on down the path of our lives.  We all have mothers.  Not all of us have moms.
     
    We all nurture each other in ways through out life sometimes without even knowing it.  If you think about it, we all depend on each other to teach us new things and remind us of old.  What we think is acceptable and what we don't is up to us as a whole.    I have not entitled myself to anything. nor has anyone entitled me.  I'm just your basic mammal walking, talking, and sharing my life with you as you are with me through the same time and space. :)
    My focus is to live the best life I can and help the earth, all the creatures, and other people along the way.  
    I truly don't feel anyone is entitled to anything.  What you do with your life is up to you.  How society translates your actions doesn't give you entitlement anymore than another person.  It is labels that might get confused with entitlement. 
     
    I feel much more grateful for having 2 arms, 2 legs, 10 fingers, 10 toes and a brain that makes them work accordingly than I have ever felt entitled.

    What NJ said. Boobs, clean nappies, warm clothes and a cradle to sleep in.

    I only started existing so many years after I was born. I'll put a number at 10yo. Before that, I wasn't even human.
