Parent

Adult who acknowledges that although education and propagation of scientific knowledge has improved since their youth, believes they are still always the victor of an argument with someone younger, specifically their own children.

Me: But this teacher is f**king insane, you said it yourself, how can you defend her giving me a Saturday detention!
Her: Are you daring to use logic against me in an argument? Do you want more punishment?! I'm the parent here!

As a parent

I am surprised that this is not defined here yet. It is a popular phrase that parents use to make their opinions seem especially important, even when discussing matters that have absolutely nothing to do with children and parenting. This is done under the delusion that being a mother or father will automatically make their comments more respected by others.

"As a parent, I feel that the crispy M&Ms were better than the pretzel ones."
"As a parent, I think the earlier seasons of 'The Simpsons' were the best."

Parents

The people who baby you for your entire childhood. They will also nag you and have the foolish belief that everything you like is bad for you. If your parents are the opposite of this description, you are incredibly lucky.

Parents are obsessively overprotective.

Parents

1. The reason that you exist

2. The people who provide for you until you are 18 and can move away.

3. Every teenager's nightmare because they don't give them any personal space.

Jerry: "My parents are so annoying!"
Larry: "I feel ya! They always boss us around telling us to do shit!"
Jerry: "I can't wait until I'm 18 so I could move away!"
Larry: "Same! I'm going to go to a nice college!"
