Have you spotted – or been – one of these different types of parents at the park?
There are hundreds – in fact hundreds of thousands – of books about parenting styles, but the very funny Jimmy Rees has boiled it down to seven categories – plus the parent-once-removed, the grandparent.
If you don’t recognise any of those, you probably are one.
Let’s take a little look.
“Let’s be friends”
The Videographer
The Helicopter
The Incognito
The Kidult
The Apologiser
Jason’s Parents
