Parentner

Parentner
(noun)
pair-ent-ner

A Parentner is a person who shares the role of parenting with their former romantic partner in a spirit of love, respect, and collaboration. Though no longer spouses or in a romantic relationship, Parentners remain united as a family through their shared commitment to their children’s well-being.

They are not husband or wife — they are Parentners:
partners in parenting,
co-creators of peace,
and steady co-navigators in their child’s life journey.

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.
