“It-Takes-A-Village-ers: Any of the smallest events — like conferences or report card pickups — means that it’s not just mom and dad who come. It’s the aunties, the uncles, the grandparents, and possibly some cousins. Bring extra snacks.”
“The Karen: The parent who thinks they can tell you how to do your job because they once saw an Abbott Elementary episode.
The Haven’t-I-Seen-You-Before: This type of parent is fun for you, not for the student. Because chances are, you know their parent to the point where you feel very comfortable telling the parent exactly what’s going on. Also, chances are you’ve seen that parent somewhere for years, like church or something, meaning that kid knows they can’t escape if they’ve done anything wrong to you.
The Best Friends: The parent who thinks their kid is their best friend, or that they should be their kid’s best friend and won’t do a damn thing to discipline them even if they say they will.”
