Kobe Bryant Parenting

The same as helicopter parenting. When parents micromanage their childrens' lives.

Etymology: Kobe Bryant and his daughter died in a helicopter crash.

My mom keeps Kobe Bryant parenting me! She took my computer away because I played video games last night instead of doing my homework. Now she keeps checking in on me every 10 minutes to make sure I submit my assignments on time.

extreme parenting

The act of raising 3 or more over-scheduled kids, especially in a busy urban or suburban area, and you go from man-to-man coverage to playing zone and the play clock is always running.

My wife and I just had our fourth kid and now we have to practice extreme parenting.

Only-parenting

When you're doing more than just single parenting!! When you are all they've got and you do it ALL!!! When the other parent is alive, but is as if they're dead...Not a single penny or second of their time is given to help you!!

I am a mother only-parenting my children.

barnacle parenting

Overly attached/clingy parenting, as compared to the hypervigilance of helicopter parenting.

Schools letting parents eat lunch with their kid every day is just encouraging more barnacle parenting.

Carnival parenting

A style of parenting most often engaged in by the noncustodial parent of minor children whereby the child/children are lavished with gifts, activities and a blind eye to misbehavior.

My ex-husband did his typical carnival parenting when he took the kids to the mall for a shopping spree when they had homework that needed to be done.

Seesaw parenting

When one spouse is working the other parent is in charge of all things parenting:cooking, cleaning, diapers, taking them to school, packing their snacks and lunch, etc. then after a set period of time, the other parent takes over to switch roles.

Yeah I’m not sure what happens in the mornings and how they get to school…. But I do dinner and bedtime. It’s a bit of seesaw parenting
