Seesaw parenting

When one spouse is working the other parent is in charge of all things parenting:cooking, cleaning, diapers, taking them to school, packing their snacks and lunch, etc. then after a set period of time, the other parent takes over to switch roles.

Yeah I’m not sure what happens in the mornings and how they get to school…. But I do dinner and bedtime. It’s a bit of seesaw parenting

Parental amnesia

Missing out on tasks and duties because parental duties take precedence.

The polite way of using your child as an excuse.

Most common in parents of children aged 5 and under.

Sorry couldn’t call you last night, freaking parental amnesia doesn’t let me keep track of things.

Ignorant parent

A person who responsibly teaches a young person to abide by the rules yet breaks rules to fit their criteria.

My ignorant parent made my derby car instead of me to increase the chances that I may win a prize.

Parentize

When you parentize somebody, you adopt them and raise them without them knowing that they are adopted.

I parentized my child without her knowing that her parents died and that she is adopted.

Parenting porn

Movies , tv and modern fiction like the film “Beautiful Boy “that depict parenting as spoiling kids rotten yet still fretting over doing the right thing for their kids . They show parents showering kids with gifts and money while still wracked with guilt when the kid does wrong .

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.
