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

“She tweeted one criticism and the parentifiers came at her like she insulted their actual dad.”

parental technology mismatch

When you ask your parents for the latest PlayStation, but instead you get older, more obscure gaming console Commodore CDTV / Philips CD-i / Casio Loopy because your parents don't want to get addicted to video games. Same as when you ask your parents for the latest smartphone, but instead you get Texas Instrument calculator that has always been the same since 1995, a Jewish flip phone, an MP3 nugget, and a digital camcorder because your parents don't want to get addicted to smartphone.
When I asked my parents for the latest PlayStation, I ended up with a Commodore CDTV instead, highlighting the classic parental technology mismatch.
