Onigiri Parents 

Parents who are white on the outside, but Asian all the way through. Named after a type of rice cake from Japan that uses white rice.

Same unbalanced focus on grades/academics at expense of all else, same overbearing and overprotective nature, same perfectionist kids who burn out from anxiety.
Scott: Fuuuuuck, my parents yelled at me all night for getting an 89 on the last exam. I still have a 4.1 GPA, so I don’t see what the problem is. I can’t handle my parents anymore.

Richard: Sounds like a classic case of onigiri parents.

asian parents 

So a lot of the asian parent definitions are actually really really extreme ones. Asian parents will hit/whip you with chopsticks or belts when you're young but will probably stop when you get into middle school. They definitely hate any mark under a 90 cause you need 90s to get into good universities. they'll sign you up for a lot of extracurriculars when you are young so you'll be ahead of the class, though things like piano class or art class will tend to die down once you get to high school because it's "not important anymore." they will compare you to others which does lower your self esteem but they also have some reasoning inside of them as well. they will let you go out with your friends, they'll let you get a boyfriend if you're in your last few years of high school, and they actually do care and try to empathize with you if you're seriously bawling your eyes out.

That's my definition of a moderate asian parent
Asian parents aren't that strict you know.

Hippie Parents 

Hippie Parents are one of the best types of parents to have. Hippie Parents are located all over the United States, but are mainly concentrated in Northern California.

Hippie Parents enforce very lenient drug rules around the house, often growing marijuana plants in the backyard (in organic soil of course).

Hippie Parents live by a strict “ if it’s not grown in the ground, turn it down” mentality, with the occasional exception of MDMA because “ it’s a love drug”. Hippie Parents are against hard drugs because 75% of Hippie Parents have “ that one friend who came back from Vietnam, and just kinda lost touch with things.”

Hippie Parents don’t waste money on buying name brand clothes or flashy cars to impress people; they have done way too many psychedelics to be impressed by Gucci, Versace or Armani.

Hippie Parents are usually very educated and well-spoken people. This is because Hippie Parents understand that education is the key to understanding the world around us

Children of Hippie Parents either turn out to be just like their parents and embrace flower power, or they choose to go the opposite route and become straightedge punks who loathe pot smokers.
Joe: Hey Steve, are you sure it's cool if we smoke pot in your backyard?

Steve: Yeah man it's cool, I have Hippie Parents.

Joe: Lucky!

dolphin worshipping athiest parents

The hardest thing in the world to rebel against.
Daughter: Mom, Dad, I'm going to go whore myself for drugs.
Dolphin Worshipping Athiest Parents: Allright, you might want to try showing a little thigh, dear.
Daughter: You're so lame. Like, folk-rock on!

Free Range Parents 

Free Range Parents are predominately rich white people that let their children run around unchecked, even in dangerous situations. It is usually a misguided attempt to allow their children to learn life lessons on their own.
Person 1: I just saw what looked like an eight year old boy, outside in the cold with no jacket on; is that the kid with Free Range Parents?

Person 2: No, that’s Little Billy, his parents aren’t free range, they’re just junkies.

homophobic parents 

The most horrible thing you can have in your life, like do you think I chose to be the big homo? No. Did you choose to be straight? Also no. Fucking bullshit.
Mom I’m gay
Where have we gone wrong?!
Oh why must I have homophobic parents?
