These are the types of parents that over obsess about their children doing good in grade school and think that their child is some sort of child prodigy. Usually their child will be a tad brighter than most in actuality, but instead of viewing their child as bright, they view them as some sort of young Isaac Newton. These types of parents are likely going to send their child to some sort of STEM school as soon as possible, and hold little regard for their child's relationships or even mental well being, as to them, these "relationships" are meaningless and friends are not needed to achieve things in life. These types of parents tend to tell their children "mottos" to live by, which in reality is their own convoluted propaganda such as: "Educate, Educate, Educate".
While these phrases hold little actual meaning, In the mind of the parent, they are only doing what is right.
These types of parents often do not realize, or ever truly realize what they are doing by dictating their children's lives with the premise of; Education is Power, and most of the children who fall victim to these kinds of parents never do truly succeed due to the overwhelming amount of stress and ridicule they receive from their parent's dictation and manipulation of their entire childhood and early to mid teenage years.
You can be above average, but just because you are doesn't mean that you are the next Einstein..

John: Hey. Did you see how those parents insisted on how their kid would raise the school's success rate by himself.
Molly: Yeah, I did. Kid looked really nervous, almost like he was expected to do something he was incapable of.
John: Now that you mention it, the way that kid's parents talked about him made them seem an awful lot like STEM Parents..

Get the STEM Parents mug.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.

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"

Get the parental panpipes mug.Polish parents who moved to America and discouraged their kids from learning Polish or about Polish traditions, leaving their children and grandchildren with no sense of Polish culture other than the existence of Pierogi.
“Hey man, Happy święconka! You’re Polish, right?”
“Nah, my parents were Pierogi Parents, I don’t know what that is.”

Get the Pierogi Parents mug.A close/best friend that still loves you, but no longer needs you for support, entertainment, guidance, affection, etc., and gradually stops involving you in their life/seeking you out in the same way or for the same reasons.
They still love you and will still answer/respond at the same rate when you reach out to them, but will no longer contact you on their own unless it's a special occasion, an emergency, or they need something specific.
Much like how children and young adults stop wanting to spend time with their parents and would rather spend time with their friends instead.
Being parent-zoned means you've essentially been replaced as a friend but without any malice or loss of love / emotional importance.

He still treats me with a lot of love and respect and is always there when I need him, but he doesn't call or text nearly as much as he used to. His personal situation hasn't changed, guess I've just been parent-zoned.

Get the Parental rights mug.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.
