Parental duty

Like childcare but for your parents: Sitting around all day with your parents who came visiting you.
If you're at uni and having to explain to them why you don't have a girlfriend, why you don't have good grades, why you don't have a part-time job.

And if you're married already you send the day helping your dad with his garden and your mom in the kitchen why avoid the question "So why don't you have kids yet?"

John: Hey Tom, you comin' out tonight for Lizzy's birthday party? We're out to a nice restaurant before the club at 8pm
Tom: Nah bro, I can't this time. Got parental duty
John: Shit! Good luck with that

Example 2:
Chris: The whole office is going to Disney on Saturday, will Marianne also be coming?
Alex: Nah, she's got parental duty. She's taking her mom grocery shopping, and then for a haircut
Chris: Sucks to be her

Asian parents

Obnoxious twits who try to "discipline" their kids using physical aggression and bullying tactics. If you are an asian parent reading this, fuck you. You think you're so tough and macho. We all know you are full of shit. You don't have the mental strength to face your problems so you bully your kids. Go mess with someone your own size or I'll beat you up when you grow old. I know some asshole is going to complain that I'm being racist but every asian kid I've met knows that asian parents are racist towards their own race, so shut the fuck up.

Asian parents: Do your homework before I spank you.
Me: You do your work before I kick your saggy nuts open.

parent scare

Noun: An article or sometimes but very rarely a video that exploits parental instincts in order to scare the parents out of granting their children access to something.

Example:
Person 1: Hey, did you get the new Call Of Duty game?
Person 2: No, my mom says that violent video games cause violence in real life.
Person 1: That's just a parent scare, it's not true.

Empowering Parents

An American parenting website which advocates techniques amounting to emotional abuse, as well as a worldview which should have been left in the 1950s.

My child's not been behaving like some sort of mid-twentieth-century Puritain, but that Lehman bloke over at Empowering Parents said I should just discipline her and totally ignore the underlying issues.

Parent shopping

When children ask one parent for something and get a 'no', so they ask the other parent the same question hoping for a different answer. (This can also be applied to the workplace with subordinates and their bosses).

The kids did what? They have to stop parent shopping.

Parental Footprint

The term for how much of an impact you have on your parent's lives and money. Most poignant when living with parents at an age where you really should have moved out by now.
Derived from 'Carbon Footprint'

Guy 1: "Man, I can't believe you had to move back in with your parents"
Guy 2: "Yeah it's not so bad though, I have a well paid job and I cook my own meals so my parental footprint is pretty small"
