As with video games, joystick parents want to dictate and control every aspect of the children's lives. Hence the term ‘joystick’. However, there is very little joy to be had by children when they are parented in this manner.
Can also be high-schoolers, or even in some depressing cases, college students living at home.

Nate's parents use joystick parenting because they keep track of his bank records, ground him from his phone, listen to all his voicemails, check his e-mail, check his facebook messages, get copies of his work schedule, check his phone records to make sure he is working at those times, control where he is allowed to drive, and also control which girls he is allowed to date, or even allowed to talk to for that matter.

"Why are there so many tots missing, Mom?"
"I had to take some for my parent tax, sorry. You'll start to get your refund when you have kids too."

There are many types of azn parents, some are better than others
few of em have no idea how to govern their children. Asian mom's are commonly housewives. They are strict on different levels. Likely to limit electronics. Usually has other korean mom's who they socialize with & get advice and also compare their children semi-competitively to competitively with other children. Azn dad's are usually intelligent but nevertheless strict. Often work long work hours.
they don't want their children(when they become adults) in sub-par locations. Their strictness is in most cases, derived from wanting you to become successful. Doctors are a common choice for parent recommendations for occupations which is statistically a good option
Strict n kind ones are probably the best. They get ticked if you get bad grades and yell but cool off soon. They give punishments (typically a ban from games or other electronic device) to teach you a lesson but it works! at least if they aren't super overly aggressive. More often than not, they use more "disciplinary action" at young ages to build things into children as they grow. Some mom's in this category want their children to be stylish and reflect it.
The abusive ones mindlessly (or maybe not, thinking it'll do SOME good) physically beat their children, hoping they will rule under fear but more often than not, it just makes the child depressed and want to escape their life at home.

A person so devoid of knowledge and intellect that they cannot help but have unprotected sex, mostly because they cannot control their urges or use birth control properly.
Teen parents tend to be uneducated, poorly-mannered, take up large amounts of resources and tend to raise their children to act accordingly.
Tend to avoid abortions even if it would prevent a life of suffering for a child.

More often than not, a total shit. Males of this catergory are normally inbred homophobic rednecks with inadequate jobs
