parents

the people who gave birth to you and think they can do whatever want with your life. parents like to piss you off. parents interfere with ALL of your personal life. they are well known for being liars who will do ANYTHING to try INDIRECTLY kill you if you don't follow the orders they give you. they mostly HATE otaku and will resort to violence to keep you from anime or manga. this chain and cage they confine you with will prevent you from doing ANY of your hobbies. overall parents are just nuisances that will try to mess up your life in ANY way possible. my parents have tried to KILL me numerous times. the ways around this is to grab one of your house keys and run as far away as possible. after about 6-10 hours return to your home and hide in your room.

Parenting porn

Did you see the movie “Beautiful Boy”? The dad showers the son with everything including paying tuition room and board through everything yet he still feels guilty the kid is a druggie. It’s real parenting porn.

Helicopter Gunship Parent

A helicopter parent who, to promote their child, will proactively neutralize a person perceived to hinder their own child's advancement.

The effective target of a helicopter gunship parent is a child with more talent and better performance than their own, in a activity with limited opportunities or resources. By a range of overt and covert aggressive methods, the helicopter gunship parent will remove the other child's competition, or the third party who has control over allocation of opportunities and resources, from the activity.

Characteristic outcomes of helicopter gunship parent activity are unwarranted advancement of their own child, other more talented children and their parents/teachers/organisers declining to participate or contribute to the activity, and degraded performance of the activity due to loss of talent. The benefitting child may also suffer reputational damage due to their helicopter gunship parent's activity, even if the child is unaware of the activity or an unwilling beneficiary in the activity.

Common situations of helicopter gunship parent action are sport team selection and role allocation, school drama involvement, academic or sport prizes and scholarships, and school leadership roles.
How can Adam's kids be in such high-level teams but be so doggedly mediocre and continually hold back the team performance? He is a helicopter gunship parent; over the years, he made all the better players walk away from the sport.

Tony's second-rate son got that top academic prize only because Tony is a helicopter gunship parent. I don't know how he did it but he got the award panel to quit then he got himself and his friends on it. The prize and the school is a bad joke.

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.

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..
