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!
(of a child) behaving in such a way that indicates the child's parent or parents are minimally involved its rearing. Doesn't necessarily mean no parents as long as there is minimal parental supervision.
This school is full of unparented little brats who misbehave with impunity because there are no consequences at home.

B: "Whats the matter"
A: This dam prickup is blinding me.
B: Stupid thing's, as if there lights weren't blinding enough as it is.
Someone who jumps from one relationship immediately into another one.
Serial monogamists can not stand to be alone and often suffer from vast commitment and insecurity issues.
Because they jump into relationships immediately after the previous one has ended, serial monogamists typically don't take the time to reflect on their behavior or why their previous relationships failed; thus, they end up making the same relationship mistakes over and over again.
Person 1: Damn, Dustin already has a new girlfriend?! It's only been two weeks since he broke up with his fiance! I think he's a sociopath.
