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."

plant parent 

A person who thinks of their plants the way others tend to think about their pets or children.

With young Millenials seeming like overgrown adolescents, it's a good thing 'plant parents are the new pet parents'.

parent or guardian 

PC term used mostly at school to prevent the kids whose biological parents do not have custody of them or kids of deceased parents from feeling lesser than "regular" kids.

Teacher: Have your parent or guardian sign this paper and bring it in tomorrow.

Kid: Man, I know my moms signed her rights over to my grandma, but y'all don't have to rub it in my face with this parent or GUARDIAN bullshit.
