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.

refers to (noob) parents that are so overly cautious when their with their kid that they look at everybody that "looks like" they don't have kids and everything else around them as a potential threats to their child's safety to the point where it seems down right narcissistic because they shun other people in doing so just because they don't have kids.
a single guy see his neighbor and says hows it going the neighbor gives off a cautious vibe and looks down on the single guy so the single guy calls his neighbor a parental narcissist under his breath then proceeds to commit adultery with his neighbors wife on Monday

Movies , tv and modern fiction like the film “Beautiful Boy “that depict parenting as spoiling kids rotten yet still fretting over doing the right thing for their kids . They show parents showering kids with gifts and money while still wracked with guilt when the kid does wrong .
Did you see the movie “Beautiful Boy”? The dad showers the son with everything including paying tuition room and board through everything yet he still feels guilty the kid is a druggie. It’s real parenting porn.
