I just got a call from a parent of a kid that got put on the JV team. She was very upset that her child didn’t get put on the varsity team. That parent suffers from PARENTAL BLINDNESS.

Get the Parental Blindnessmug. 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.
Did you see that woman over-react when that man told her what her child did to him? She must subscribe to the burst parenting method

Get the Mob parentingmug. A modern way of saying "I think children are their parent's property." The term is typically used as a dog whistle to defend the ability of parents to abuse transgender children. It is also sometimes used by child predators to justify sexually abusing children.

Get the Parental rightsmug. When a parent just spanks and punishes their kid rather than putting in an actual effort to TEACH them appropriate behavior, and to *explain* why they should or can't do something rather than just telling them to do or not to do it.
"Because I said so" is used on a daily basis.

Get the Lazy Parentingmug. 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.
