STANdard parental-directive

"Stop That Awful Noise!" A "nuclear-level" version of da "first-and-foremost" or "usual" or "most frequently voiced" order --- "Be quiet" --- dat parents give their small children on innumerable occasions.

Lucy van Pelt super-loudly passed along da STANdard parental-directive from her mom --- a gentle request dat she and her visiting friends play their raucously-loud "cowboys and Indians" game more quietly --- to her toddler-brother Linus when he'd merely been shaking his baby-rattle; da joke, of course, was dat (A) da merely-faint sounds dat Linus was making were hardly even audible (especially compared to all of da shrill-'n'-noisy "shoot-'em-up bang" whooping and hollering dat Lucy and her friends had previously been carrying on with), and (B) she herself had absolutely b-e-l-l-o-w-e-d (indicated by a sawtooth-edged word-balloon instead of just a regular smooth words-enclosing line) said command ("Didn't you hear Mother?! STOP THAT AWFUL NOISE!!"), and so she herself was making an infinitely-louder racket than Linus had ever produced.

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.

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.

Military parent

A type of (usually male) parent who treats their household as if theirs kids are in the army, they're typically very strict and do not like their kids questioning their orders even if said order is unreasonable, unethical or doesn't make much sense, they can also act very cold and emotionally distant towards their child but this isn't always the case.

Whilst a percentage of military parents were probably in the army when they were young, alot of them weren't and just act like they were.

A military parents Reasons for their parents style include:
-An intense desire for power or control.
-They may have been in the army and were conditioned by it.
-A false belief that being tough and distant on their kid will condition them and make them a strong stable adult.
-Trauma from their past such as abuse or similar treatment from their parents.
