Choose a more neglectful parenting style if you prefer keeping everyone focused on you, feel that parenthood was forced on you or are just simply exasperated by how much effort it turned out to be. These are the basic tenets of this ideology:
- Your child is a burden
- Your child should not interfere with the things that really matter, i.e. you and your interests
- Your child has limited uses, such as communicating certain messages about you
- Creating the child was really already a lot of work, they are on their own from here on out
Getting Away with Minimum Effort
There are some very meddlesome figures and authorities out there who will never cease trying to tell you how to do things. For this reason, you must tread carefully so as to retain your parenting freedom.
Present a clean, shiny, caring outward front so that outsiders know you are perfect and do not go looking further. What sort of mess and neglect you maintain in your home is only your business, and your child had better not speak up either. |
Bundling Your Goals
By neglecting your child physically and not taking care of their medical needs, you are automatically also working towards the twin goals of keeping them socially inept and warding off any closer contact they make seek with their peers or teachers. After all, nobody wants to be near an ungroomed, smelly child.
By investing minimum effort and funds into your child, you have that much more for yourself and your hobbies. Maybe you even have a golden child who is more deserving of the attention! |
