Irrational Parenting

When parents support their children to spend an obscene number of hours memorizing the digits of irrational numbers like √2, π, and e, so that they can out-parrot others in a contest, and win some medals or prizes for their “irrational” feats of memory.

Based on recent newspaper reports, irrational parenting seems to be rising in Singapore, especially among immigrants from India and Burma—the perceived paranoia to make an entry into the Singapore Book of Records has never been so strong among the “human parrots.”

Narcissistic Parent

The worst thing you can ever have in your life. A narcissistic parent doesn't love you, and simply sees you as an accident that sometimes serves as a useful tool to give them leverage in life. Trying to talk to them is like talking to a brick wall, and they always turn their flaws around on you to make it seem like you're being ungrateful. A person with a narcissistic parent often feels as though the parent in question doesn't care about them -- and they're right. But they also feel like their emotions and feelings mean nothing; THAT is false.

If you have a narcissistic parent -- or worse yet, BOTH of your parents are narcissists -- the best thing to do is RUN, and never look back. Forget they ever existed, because they never cared about your existence. You are worthy of being loved, even if your parent(s) don't think so. Find a person whom you look up to as the father/mother figure you never had and never let go. Don't even bother confronting them, because it will just make things worse for you. Simply cut them out and if you ever have children of your own, do everything you can to NOT be your parents.
