tank parenting

The opposite of Helicopter Parenting, where rather than hovering over and monitoring children closely, the parent remains in a stationary position, only turning their head when they hear crying or someone yelling "Mom" or "Dad" for a sustained period of time.

I'm more into Tank Parenting, where I just swivel my head and yell when my kid is demanding my attention

Drone Parenting

The act of parenting in a manner in which you are so far up your own kid's ass that you lose your identity, or ability to function in a reasonable, rational and otherwise non-destructive way.

I used to worry about being supportive of my kid, but then I saw Christy and her drone parenting style - I'm alright letting little Jonny entertain himself a while.

Parental cockblock

For younger people in a relationship, young meaning 18-23. When either your parent(s) or your partner's parent(s) successfully cockblock your chances of getting laid. A wingman is unable to prevent the cockblocking because of the intimate time alone with you and your partner. Phone calls, texts, or interruptions are the most common nuances of a parental cockblock.

For people older than 23, are you seriously dependent on your parents to allow a parental cockblock? Wow, your life sucks!

Boy Baby i want youstarts kissing
Girl I want you toohot and heavy kissing
Girl's phone rings with obnoxiously loud tone, text from dad
Girl: Baby, my dad says you gotta leave in a minute
Boy: Ok, i'll leave in 5 minutes
Girl's phone rings again loudly, obnoxious tone again.
Girl: My dad wants you out now baby, i'm sorry
Boy: Damn parental cockblock
Shouts upstairs
That's a bitch move homie, bitch move!

Asian parents

parental naivety

The state of mind that most parents are in, even after discovering that, no their child is not a golden child.

It is a denial and ignorance of disgusting or dangerous acts committed by their, usually teen, children.

Friend one: OMG, so my boyfriend and I were hooking up in the kitchen, when we thought no one was home, and my mother walked in right as he picked me up and put me on the counter! She didn't even notice!
Friend two: Gotta love parental naivety!!
