A type of [[Sour Grapes Tropes|Sour Grapes Trope]] in which wealthy kids are not allowed to have happy lives without the assistance of the plot, instead being made miserable for no particular reason other than having been born to rich parents. The reason being, of course, to show that it sucks to be rich anyway, by demonstrating how rich kids suffer [[Broken Aesop|for various reasons that have nothing in particular to do with being rich]]. That being said, the easiest way for a writer to justify this one is simple: lots of rich parents got that way because they have [[Married to the Job|no life outside of their career]], and this means a rich parent [[When You Coming Home, Dad?|cuts back on time with the family]]. Plus, rich people are inhumanely cold anyway.
