Non-Parent

A phrase, preferable to childless, that describes adults who by choice or circumstance, do not have children.
Before they were married, Susie and Ishmael chose not to have children while James and Mariel were unable to conceive. As Non-Parents, the couples had much to share and were very close.

bandwagon parent

a deadbeat mom or dad who doesn't put any time or effort into encouraging, mentoring, or otherwise raising their son/daughter...but doesn't hesitate to play the part of Proud Parent as soon as the kid starts kicking ass at something, esp if s/he didn't play any part in said child's success.
That asshole tried to discourage drum lessons, argue against buying a kit, and doesn't spend any time with his boy...but he wants pictures and video of his son to show off now that he's getting good at drums? He's a bandwagon parent if I ever saw one.
