Pareidolia

Pareidolia is the phenomena of seeing faces/figures/forms in patterns; as opposed to where one normally sees faces/figures/forms (on animals including people/landscapes etc.)

Pareidolia is seeing what appears to the individual to be a representation of a face, figure, or form in the clouds, wood grain, marble, smoke, shadows, or any non-homogeneous area. It can also be an auditory phenomenon as in hearing white noise or a record played backward that sounds to the individual like words or a melody that isn't actually there.

Parent Television Council

A bunch of goody two shoe arseholes who believe it's a better choice to watch after other children when instead, they should be watching their own.

They're globally known as "attention whores" and "giant cry babies"

They also believe in the fact that the world will be balanced, if there were only G - Rated shows on TV. If that was the case, teenagers would ultimately die from boredness.

The point is, PTC is nothing but a bunch of selfish adults, who believe that Television will kill the minds of ANYONE. If they read this, they would waste their valuable time tracking my ass down, and direct me to the Police because I was "cyber bullying".

This is nothing but the truth.

NMP Parenting

Not My Problem Parenting... a style of parenting where parents utilize natural consequences for children regarding their actions. Especially useful in parenting school age children who forget their lunch, forget to wear a coat or had detention because they didn't do their homework.

A very effective parenting style that can result in children taking more ownership of their actions and develops independence and self responsibility.

Teacher to parent: "Mrs. G, your son Eli has forgotten his homework folder three weeks in a row, and now he's going to lose his recess for a week."
Parent: "Sounds good to me. NMP. I did my homework. I have a good job. I get to chit chat with my friends at work at the water cooler. Sorry Eli, next time don't forget your homework folder. Not My Problem. NMP Parenting works!"
Child: "Waaaaa... I want my Mommy to rescue me. Oh well, I hate losing my recess so you know I'm not forgetting my folder EVER again!"

helicopter parent

A parent who hovers over their child, regardless of the child's needs or desires. An over protective parent who does not want their child to face any difficulty without their parent's help.

That kid's mom just went onto the field to check on his injury. All he did was slide into home. Think she's a helicopter parent??

Co-parent

Co-parent means that there is another parent in the child's life even if both parents are not a couple and not living together. This is not a single parent who has the child 7 days a week and has no other parent in the child's life.

She calls herself a single Mom but her ex-husband has their son every second week. She is actually a co-parent.

A type of pareidolia that happens when someone sees an object that vaguely resembles the characters of the game “among us”

Look at this egg shape, kind of sus! I think amongus pareidolia destroyed my brain.

Stuck-on-the-ceiling parenting

Trying hard to fit in with your kids, but failing miserably. Derived from Rocket League when parents play the game with their kids, but can't get their car off the ceiling as heard on What's That Word Podcast.

Teen 1: My mom got her 'mom' jeans out thinking she could fit in with us.

Teen 2: That is some serious stuck-on-the-ceiling parenting.
