Carnival parenting

A style of parenting most often engaged in by the noncustodial parent of minor children whereby the child/children are lavished with gifts, activities and a blind eye to misbehavior.
My ex-husband did his typical carnival parenting when he took the kids to the mall for a shopping spree when they had homework that needed to be done.

Seesaw parenting
