Penguin parent

This is the strict parent, who disciplines their children (or other children) publicly. Although the name may sound confusing, it’s an ironic reference to the the contrasts between how actual penguin mothers are incredibly loving and caring, versus the public disciplinarian.

This parent, in the middle of their children’s game, will charge the field, to yell at a referee, their son, or another kid. This is different from heckling, penguin parents are much more confrontational.

Newsletter Parent

Parent who doesn't listen never turns up for the child and only wants something to put in the newsletter to send to other parents who are busy ignoring their own kids. Lives in denial and thinks it is still the 1980's in complete ignorance of the economic and environmental mess they have bequeathed to future generations. Spends there time buying investment properties making it harder for people to buy a house, and taking holidays while young people do it tougher each year.

My newsletter parent wanted something for her Christmas newsletter.

Pre-parental anxiety

Pre-parental anxiety is what modern day parents worry about when deciding whether to have children or not. Its a composite of anxieties about multiple issues including about societal shifts, climate change and FOMO about regretting not having children later on but not having the option available then.

Male partner: I'm not sure if I want to have kids, there are so many people already in the world today and limited resources. Plus I like enjoying our kid-free time right now.
Female partner: I agree, but if we wait too long and then decide we want them in 10 years, it might be difficult later.
Male partner: Its pre-parental anxiety.
