unfairenting 

When your parent(s) punish you harder then your siblings, or give them way nicer things than you.

My twin brother got this sweet new iPhone for his birthday, and I got two sweaters and one shoe. Literally. One shoe. The other one somehow got lost the night before. If there's a book somewhere that records all the greatest acts of unfairenting, this is in it.

unparenting 

Term coined by me, Hannah Herbst.

When someone, usually another relative or a parent themselves, sees a particular parent's approach as unfit and sees the need to do things differently, undermining the parenting process of the actual parent.

Ex:

Mother: "I'm going to smack that kid for doing dishes!"
Uncle: "No you WON'T."
Mother: "It's my kid!"
Uncle: "It doesn't matter. (looks and says to kid) Kid, you don't have to do dishes."
Mother: "STOP unparenting my kid!!!"

Kid no longer listens to Mom about dishes. Mom's parenting abilities have been reduced!
