Solo-Parent

A solo-parent is another way of saying single parent but does not reflect on a person's relationship status. This person parents their child(ren) on their own but was or is not necessarily single.

She is a solo-parent but has a really great boyfriend.

Onigiri Parents

Parents who are white on the outside, but Asian all the way through. Named after a type of rice cake from Japan that uses white rice.

Same unbalanced focus on grades/academics at expense of all else, same overbearing and overprotective nature, same perfectionist kids who burn out from anxiety.

Scott: Fuuuuuck, my parents yelled at me all night for getting an 89 on the last exam. I still have a 4.1 GPA, so I don’t see what the problem is. I can’t handle my parents anymore.

Richard: Sounds like a classic case of onigiri parents.

asian parents

So a lot of the asian parent definitions are actually really really extreme ones. Asian parents will hit/whip you with chopsticks or belts when you're young but will probably stop when you get into middle school. They definitely hate any mark under a 90 cause you need 90s to get into good universities. they'll sign you up for a lot of extracurriculars when you are young so you'll be ahead of the class, though things like piano class or art class will tend to die down once you get to high school because it's "not important anymore." they will compare you to others which does lower your self esteem but they also have some reasoning inside of them as well. they will let you go out with your friends, they'll let you get a boyfriend if you're in your last few years of high school, and they actually do care and try to empathize with you if you're seriously bawling your eyes out.

That's my definition of a moderate asian parent

Asian parents aren't that strict you know.

parental unit

(1) Parents who are over-protective or over-restrictive.
(2) Parents who control every aspect of their child's life.

-The idea being that they are so predictable that they are like computers and/or robots.

I doubt that I'll be able to get that past the parental unit.

Parent-Fluid

Being parent-fluid does not mean that you lack parents. It indicates that you choose who your parents are.
Your selection is based on personal preference. You may elect to keep one of your own parents and discard another. Or you may choose to keep both birth parents. An alternate scenario is when you have lost one or more of your parents due to abandonment or death. This issue can be easily remedied by selecting one or more parents from the pool known as the human race.

Parent Fluidity means that you do not need to keep your parents forever. Once they have expired or irritated, you may spin the wheel and choose new ones. There is no limit to how many times you may amend your parentage.
You also can be loud and proud of having no parents. We support that lifestyle choice too.

I'm parent-fluid. I'm not able to keep a relationship going with Dad as he talks too much, so I have replaced him with Mike the butcher for the time being. If Mike doesn't work out, I might stay parent-less for a while or see who else is out there.

Parent-hood

Parent-hood is the death of a person, or the person they used to be before they had a kid. Their fun-loving personality will die and instead of talking about their beautiful baby they will soon talk about the weight they gained.

"What happened to person?"
"They got into Parent-hood"

Parental Misguidance

Taking your child out on the lash. The first reported case was Touriye in Salou. Having your child/ mascot suffer injuries in your care. e.g having their head bitten off or being buried alive.

There was some parental misguidance going on in the club last night.

That lass is subjected to parental misguidance every night of the week.
