Sideline Parent

A parent who likes to tell a child what he or she should do but is not directly involved in their everyday lives or only on occasion. The "parent" only watches and observes said child from the "side" or "sideline" but are not directly involved in their everyday life or activities.

My dad always tells me what to do and judges me without even knowing the circumstance or my day-to-day life. He's a sideline parent.

My mom always assumes that im doing something wrong when she doesn't even know me or what i do everyday. What a sideline parent..

Fake Parents

People who are not your parents by blood or law, but act as such regardless.

Homie #1: "Ever since my dad left and mom started smoking crack, I've been spending most nights at Jack's house. His parents are super nice, they don't mind me being over so much at all."

Homie #2: "That's great man, it sounds like you've got yourself some fake parents."

Parent whipped

When a child allows their parents to yell at them without fighting back or snapping on them

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.
