Parentflation

When the “cost” of being a parent keeps going up—not in dollars, but in expectations. The idea that you have a chorus of PTA Karens and amateur child therapists looking over your shoulder, ready to call CPS if your kid faces any hardship whatsoever, while your tiny, Wi-Fi-enabled know-it-all doesn’t want to see “a dinosaur”—they want to see a Parasaurolophus, accurate to scale.

Symptoms may include:
-Packing three separate snacks because one is gluten-free, one is dye-free, and one is “crunchy but not too crunchy.”
-Talking to your child in calm therapist-speak so you don’t go to jail while they’re actively feral in the grocery store.
-Scheduling your kid’s life like they’re training for the Olympics at age six.
-Staying within three feet of them at all times because God forbid they fall off the monkey bars.
“Bro can you imagine our dads confirming snacks, screen limits, and emergency contacts just so we could go to a birthday party? My dad would’ve just tossed me out of the truck at whatever house looked right, and said ‘don’t die.’ Parentflation is real."

Watch Parent

A watch parent is like watch guard except they have kids. These are the over-protective parents who don't let their children say words like: 'fart', 'stupid', 'suck' and 'weird'
ugh, my mom is such a Watch Parent, for dessert she lets me have one organic gummy bear!

Sucker Parent

Parents that believe everything their child says or does, especially the younger one.
Dude, both of my parents are sucker parents, they believe everything my little sister does, if she's crying because she can't get her way, then when she gets her way, she quickly stops crying, that should tell you that she was just putting on a scene!

Your dad is such a sucker parent.

Mom! Only a sucker parent would believe that actually hurt him.
