4 Types of Parents We All Know & Hate

There's something to be said about parents. We, as children, can be high maintenance, needy and ultimately a pain in the ass. So shout out to parents for all that you do. But parents aren't always the stereotypical soccer moms and working dads who put dinner on the table at 5 o'clock, make us do school work before we watch TV and know how to handle themselves in public. So, without further hesitation, here are the 4 parents that we all know and hate.

1.) The Viciously Aggressive Parent at Recreational Sporting Events 

  I understand that in high school, college, and even middle school there will be an athletic event of your child's that will leave you screaming at an official or another player because of the game. I understand that you want your child to win the game, and do their best. But Lord have mercy, I think one time or another all of us have been exposed to the mother or father of a seven year old child innocently dashing down the field or court while their mother or father screams at an official as if the minor foul he didn't call was the difference between life and death. The worst kind of psychotic athletic parent is the kind who tells at their child. "Make a damn shot!" "Catch the damn ball!" "You suck!" Are not things that should be screamed at your child under most circumstances, but certainly not to your toddler or elementary schooler who is playing on a recreational sports team for fun. I think there should be a law instated that says if a parent is screaming at their athlete who is under the age of 12 it is perfectly legal to stand up and drop kick them in the throat. 

2.) The Parent Who Lives Vicariously Through Their Child 

   This type of parent goes along with the first because generally this is the reason that they have no self control at athletic events, but this topic is more vague. It is good to want your child to succeed, but not if you want him or her to succeed because you were unable to. Lets say mom was an absolute champ at synchronized swimming. And before her final competition she broke her neck, or something, and her dreams crumpled in her fingertips. Then she gives birth to a daughter and wants to raise her to become the ultimate synchronized swimmer, BECAUSE SHE WASN'T ABLE TO. Maybe you weren't on the honor roll in high school so you force your child to be the best. What you need to realize is that just because your child came out of you, your child is not you. And you need to let go of your past failures and let your child do what they want. (Unless its dealing crack and injecting heroin because then you should probably step in.)

3.) The Parent Who Is Mentally In High School

   We all want to feel like we belong. We all want to be able to relate to society. But when you're a 47 year old woman trying to wear clothing from Abercrombie & Fitch, or participating in photo challenges on Instagram, you probably need to cool it and realize that this isn't your generation. That's all.

4.) The Parent of The Harlot

    ARE YOU EVEN THERE? DO YOU EVEN EXIST? Were you there in the morning when your daughter put on the skirt that you can see her vagina in? Are you unaware that your daughter is an actual walking STD? I understand befriending your child and not wanting to upset him or her, but when your daughter is open for business 24/7 and your sons missile is prepared to launch into any woman with a pulse, maybe you should put your foot down! 

So there's the 4 parenting types we all know. Favorite this on twitter if you liked it. Or don't. I don't care. And also if you could let me know what you'd like me to write about next it would be appreciated greatly. Thanks fans (the 4 of you who read this)
