Only-parenting

When you're doing more than just single parenting!! When you are all they've got and you do it ALL!!! When the other parent is alive, but is as if they're dead...Not a single penny or second of their time is given to help you!!
I am a mother only-parenting my children.

barnacle parenting

Overly attached/clingy parenting, as compared to the hypervigilance of helicopter parenting.
Schools letting parents eat lunch with their kid every day is just encouraging more barnacle parenting.

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

When one spouse is working the other parent is in charge of all things parenting:cooking, cleaning, diapers, taking them to school, packing their snacks and lunch, etc. then after a set period of time, the other parent takes over to switch roles.
Yeah I’m not sure what happens in the mornings and how they get to school…. But I do dinner and bedtime. It’s a bit of seesaw parenting

gentle parenting

Gentle parenting is a parenting approach focused on empathy, respect, and understanding, which guides children using consistent boundaries and positive discipline rather than punishment or force. This style emphasizes building a strong parent-child connection and teaching children to manage their emotions and make good choices by modeling desired behaviors and communicating with compassion. The goal is to raise confident, independent, and emotionally resilient children.
I want my child to grow up independent and emotionally intelligent, so I use gentle parenting techniques to help them learn these qualities from a young age.
