Get the Parental Alibimug. a deadbeat mom or dad who doesn't put any time or effort into encouraging, mentoring, or otherwise raising their son/daughter...but doesn't hesitate to play the part of Proud Parent as soon as the kid starts kicking ass at something, esp if s/he didn't play any part in said child's success.
That asshole tried to discourage drum lessons, argue against buying a kit, and doesn't spend any time with his boy...but he wants pictures and video of his son to show off now that he's getting good at drums? He's a bandwagon parent if I ever saw one.
