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.

Parental Notification

TFW all of a sudden you experience an increase in red dots across all your socials and you mistake your newfound popularity for the feigned interest of The Rents.

The Rents take an artificial and outsized interest in your mundane posts this time of year because they want you to cancel that cruise and catch two connections so you can have dry turkey and iced tea on the couch like God intended, in memory of the Fifth Commandment (the one about mum and dad).
Bro, why are you on your phone so much right now?

Bro, my socials are blowing up. So many dots.

What did you post?

A picture of my sandwich.

Let me see.

Oh, Bro. Thanksgiving is next week. This is a parental notification.

And if I had a fat cock you'd murder them for me you fucking slave.
Hym "You didn't 'side with my parents', you sided against me. If Hitler rose from the grave and sided against me you'd be walking around with a swastika tattooed to your 5-head. You're practically a bed."

IPad Parents

Parents whom, instead of engaging with their child themselves, give the child an electronic device, usually an IPad, and let the IPad keep the child busy rather than them.
I had IPAD Parents growing up, I didn't even know their names until I was 9.
