Get the Untalented mug.Term coined by me, Hannah Herbst.
When someone, usually another relative or a parent themselves, sees a particular parent's approach as unfit and sees the need to do things differently, undermining the parenting process of the actual parent.

Ex:
Mother: "I'm going to smack that kid for doing dishes!"
Uncle: "No you WON'T."
Mother: "It's my kid!"
Uncle: "It doesn't matter. (looks and says to kid) Kid, you don't have to do dishes."
Mother: "STOP unparenting my kid!!!"
Kid no longer listens to Mom about dishes. Mom's parenting abilities have been reduced!
