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.

Entitled parents

The definition its the same of cancer of the society
Probably the worst enemy of any person in the street
Women who are entitled are popularly known as Karen
People who are entitled feel like they're superiors to others, and, a hint: they're not

I hate that Entitled parents, her name is Karen and Joseph

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"
