1. Oppressing individuals who enforce perfection via the whip and control your life this way too.
2. School-enforcing monsters who come in pairs and together relieve the resisting of any joy.

Get the Parentsmug. Someone who usually goes drinking at The Griffin inn or, if you're having a quiet one, The coach and horses. One whose anatomy is made up of 80% wine, 10% tory and the last 10% is either more alcohol or fags depending on how many years of school fees they have left to pay.

Get the Schrödinger’s Parentmug. 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 of the Fifth Commandment (the one about mum and dad).

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.

Get the Co Parentmug. A helicopter parent who, to promote their child, will proactively neutralize a person perceived to hinder their own child's advancement.
The effective target of a helicopter gunship parent is a child with more talent and better performance than their own, in a activity with limited opportunities or resources. By a range of overt and covert aggressive methods, the helicopter gunship parent will remove the other child's competition, or the third party who has control over allocation of opportunities and resources, from the activity.
Characteristic outcomes of helicopter gunship parent activity are unwarranted advancement of their own child, other more talented children and their parents/teachers/organisers declining to participate or contribute to the activity, and degraded performance of the activity due to loss of talent. The benefitting child may also suffer reputational damage due to their helicopter gunship parent's activity, even if the child is unaware of the activity or an unwilling beneficiary in the activity.
Common situations of helicopter gunship parent action are sport team selection and role allocation, school drama involvement, academic or sport prizes and scholarships, and school leadership roles.

How can Adam's kids be in such high-level teams but be so doggedly mediocre and continually hold back the team performance? He is a helicopter gunship parent; over the years, he made all the better players walk away from the sport.
Tony's second-rate son got that top academic prize only because Tony is a helicopter gunship parent. I don't know how he did it but he got the award panel to quit then he got himself and his friends on it. The prize and the school is a bad joke.

Get the Helicopter Gunship Parentmug. Movies , tv and modern fiction like the film “Beautiful Boy “that depict parenting as spoiling kids rotten yet still fretting over doing the right thing for their kids . They show parents showering kids with gifts and money while still wracked with guilt when the kid does wrong .
Did you see the movie “Beautiful Boy”? The dad showers the son with everything including paying tuition room and board through everything yet he still feels guilty the kid is a druggie. It’s real parenting porn.
