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).

Get the Parent shoppingmug. 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?"

Get the parental panpipesmug. A parenting method with a mostly negative connotation. The parent ignores the child completely, acting like they don't exist until one small issue arises that is forced upon them by someone else and then the parent bursts into action, usually an over-reaction, until the issue is resolved. Afterwords, returning to their comatose parenting state.
