Parent of the year nomination

An ironic term to describe the complete meltdown of a child in a public space when accompanied by a parent.

Can also describe the looks others give you when either your child freaks out or you do something they disapprove of.

After five minutes of Rachel's tantrum on the floor of the toy section of the department store, Nathan finally put her over her shoulder and bundled her out to the car, his daughter giving him the parent of the year nomination the whole way.

or

Nathan knew he was going to get a few parent of the year nominations for sending Rachel to nursery school with cheese puffs as a snack, but there had been no time to shop.

30 years old and still living with your parents

Either a pathetic loser or a member of the lost generation that got screwed over by Bush, the oil industry, and the banks. If it's the latter, when you graduated from college, housing prices were through the roof, health insurance costs were insane, and the average salary was pathetic... then the economy tanked. Now, you're back living in the home your parents owned when they were your age. You're sleeping in your childhood bedroom, in the bed where you used to dream about what life would be like when you grew up.

Even though you studied hard, never ran up any credit card debt, never broke the law, and generally did everything society asked you to do AND even though you work 40 hours a week at a salary position, you're 30 years old and still living with your parents. By the time the economy pulls it's self out of this slump, you'll be too old to have a family of your own, or to be seriously considered for any non-dead-end job. You're not sure where you'll live when your parents retire in a year or two and sell the house, but, as the responsible and realistic planner you are, you've already begun buying Ramen Noodles in bulk.

asian parents

Asian parents are the sole parental units and source of guidance for their children. Although often accepted and respected by their peers in the community as members of society, it is common knowledge among their children that they are actually controlling and manipulative with old fashioned ideals, ridiculously high expectations, and no care in the world for the actual dreams and desires of their progeny. Most, but luckily not all, Asian children are subject to the strict rulings constantly doled out by their parents. A traditional Asian upbringing will often include harsh rules which prevent children from ever being themselves or being with the few friends they are allowed to have, and will instead force upon them summers and free weekends anguishing over textbooks of material they are not expected to cover in years. Grades below an A are completely unacceptable and the children will be made aware of this well before they even begin school, as every exploit -from walking to talking-will be made a competition between children and the children of his parents peers. Addionally, Asian children are expected to do exceptionally in a great deal of extra-curriculars, most notably music and school clubs. Awards and honors are practically a must. Asian parents will provide eternal self-degradation due to the fact that they consistently compare their children to other equally suffering Asian children who succeeded after many miserable years of no fun and back-breaking studying. Most victims of this sort of abuse end up never feeling worthy of love or success, and never feel that they are "enough" for their parents. The method, admittedly, does work and so most Asian children do end up at some of the greatest schools. However, this is at the great cost of the children's emotional and mental stability -no doubt reflected in the incredible percentage of Asian students in depression or suicidal. Those who do make it through their higher education will be guilted by the antiquated sense of filial piety instilled within them by their parents and most likely seek a career in medicine or law as their parents wish.

Asian Parents: YOU'VE GOT NO POTENTIAL! LOOK AT THIS, A-?!?YOU'LL NEVER GET INTO HARVARD, OR PRINCETON!
Child: Well, maybe I don't want to go to Harvard! Maybe I want to go to art school!
Parents: NO MOTIVATION! YOU ARE NOTHING! No one with sense would pursue a career like art. Art will not feed your old parents when we are old and retired. Stephanie Wang has more work than you, but SHE STILL PLAYS VIOLIN ALL THE TIME, AND NOW SHE'S GOING TO YALE!
Child: Well, I'm not perfect. You caught me!
Parents: HOW DARE YOU, YOU LAZY GOOD FOR NOTHING-!
