Peer Child

One partner in a committed relationship that is incapable or unwilling to carry their fair share of the burdens in the relationship: to whit, child rearing; child pick-up/drop-off; household chores; caring for elderly parents; grocery shopping etc. etc. Thereby, making themselves an unfair burden on the capable partner in the relationship. The functional equivalent of another child.

Friend #1
I'd love to go to Happy Hour with you. BUT my Husband took the afternoon off to play Golf, so I have have to pick up both kids, go to the store AND cook dinner.

Friend #2

He's such a Peer Child

perchild

An extremely politically correct variant of "person" introduced as an alternative to the use of "perdaughter" to appease women and because "person and/or perdaughter and/or other" is both cumbersome and offensive to the non-binary.

Person A: Honey, the postman just delivered the mail.

Perchild B: Two years ago we were told that the proper term is "postperson" because it was determined that the "postman" is offensive to women. Last year regulators realized that "person" is offencive to daughters so now must use "postperchild" otherwise we won't get any mail.

Person A: May I refer to him as Fred.

Perchild B: No. That is offensive to all people not named Fred.

Person A: But his name is Fred.

Perchild B: That's irrelevant. And, if you ever call me "honey" again I'm going to divorce you.
