EZ appeasement parenting

EZ Appeasement Parenting – alternate name to otherwise describe & challenge the Attachment Parenting trend: co-sleeping, extended breastfeeding and other non-authoritative methods that suggest an inverted familial hierarchy, in which the child is boss, where its every demand & desire is granted in a misguided, anti-confrontational attempt to keep the child “happy”

The EZ appeasement parenting proponent, who hadn't had a full night of sleep in six years, admitted that her tyrannical son ruled the roost, but that it was based on ideal parenting beliefs.

co-parenting

A method of child rearing, most prevalent among divorced or separated parents, wherein one party can berate, abuse, slander, malign, degrade, humiliate and demean the other party for failing to act within an arcane, undisclosed and unachievable list of arbitrary and misaligned goals, methodologies, and intentions, for the betterment of the children(s') well being and mental conditions.

Asil: "You can talk to your children when you learn how to co-parent! You have to listen to me!"

Nero: "Ok. What do you want to tell me?"

Asil: "You can only talk to them about the four topics I have assigned to you today! You cannot talk to them about tomorrow's topics! WE HAVE TO WORK ON CO-PARENTING!!!"

Nero: "I can talk to them about anything that doesn't harm them. They just asked what is for dinn..."

Asil: "NOT ACCEPTABLE! WHY WON'T YOU CO-PARENT WITH ME? YOU MUST RESPECT ME!"

Nero: "......"

Asil: "RESPECT MAH AU-THOR-A-TAY! Why won't you CO-PARENT?!?!?"

Nero: "....."

Asil: "GROW UP! PULL UP YOUR BIG BOY PANTS!"

parentist

Not parentist.org. In fact quite the opposite. A parentist is someone who doesn't want to listen to your boring stories about your boring children.

She had a party and only invited the childless. She's such a parentist

helium parenting

(n.) -- A method of parenting which is similar to the way a child holds a balloon, in which parents allow their children to rise like a helium-filled balloon and float on their own, while at the same time making sure that their growing sons and daughters have a strong grasp on the string so that they do not float away to unknown parts.

"My parents were good to me, and they raised me with helium parenting ideas. They gave me a lot of freedom when I was a child but they were always there for me, too. I loved being a balloon and yet I was glad they made sure I was holding on to the string."

Tim: did you see Kim's facebook status all day yesterday?

Todd: Yeah, she is always talking about her bad kids.

Tim: That is what you call Facebook Parenting. She doesn't know how to control the kids.
