Parent

Parent(s). Two people who love, care, support, listen, and be there for their children…that’s what children deserve. Not two people who neglect, hurt, exclude, shame, and damage their children. Children deserve parents but not all adults deserve children.
Parent: I’ll support, love, and listen to you with whatever you say. We love you with all our hearts and we will listen to what you need best and to help whenever.
Anything other than love, support, kindness, and being there mentally/physically is no parent and dose not deserve children

Newsletter Parent

Parent who doesn't listen never turns up for the child and only wants something to put in the newsletter to send to other parents who are busy ignoring their own kids. Lives in denial and thinks it is still the 1980's in complete ignorance of the economic and environmental mess they have bequeathed to future generations. Spends there time buying investment properties making it harder for people to buy a house, and taking holidays while young people do it tougher each year.

Parental Notification

TFW all of a sudden you experience an increase in red dots across all your socials and you mistake your newfound popularity for the feigned interest of The Rents.

The Rents take an artificial and outsized interest in your mundane posts this time of year because they want you to cancel that cruise and catch two connections so you can have dry turkey and iced tea on the couch like God intended in memory if the Fourth Commandment.
Bro, why are you on your phone so much right now?

Bro my socials are blowing up. So many dots.

What did you post?

A picture of my sandwich.

Let me see.

Oh, Bro. Thanksgiving is next week. This is a parental notification.

Parent

A miserable person wishing to fulfill the goal through his well developed sperm, yet not accepting a goal of their kid they already did, therefore being happy and popular is cool but sex and nicotine addiction are bad.

Can be uses both as a gift and a curse.
