Few things provide as many avenues for self projection, admiration and superiority as parenthood. Cash in on this boon as a form of repayment for your sacrifices and having to put up with the daily disappointments and vicissitudes of family life. As a sacrosanct parent, your opinion matters more than other people's. Your pain is greater, but so is your joy. There is almost no debate where you cannot throw in your special status as a parent to lend your words more weight. This page provides helpful hints on how to boost your social capital by wearing your parenthood on your sleeve. It also highlights how to extract maximum support, attention and empathy from a range of bystanders during key life events and phases.
The Crown of Birth
This is the start of your new glory. From pregnancy onwards, you can project your rightful role as arbiter of everything.
Creating a new life bestows special status that can never be taken away again. Your opinion will now count more than your childfree peers', for you have experienced the ultimate power of giving life. |
Ascending the Throne
While the other pages on this site largely focuse on how you can use your child as a vehicle for your own life goals, this page takes a look at how you can enthrall adult audiences thanks to your parental status.
Nobody has ever parented as hard as you, so all the other parents, teachers, employers and even your own parents can step back now. Bask in the wisdom conveyed by your new title. |
Unique and Exalted
Remind your environment frequently of your special status as a parent, as they will be prone to forgetting. Lesser souls may even be jealous of your enlightened parenting and special bond between you and your offspring.

Project What Should Be, Not What Is
Despite your best efforts, not everything in your family life will always go according to your divine plan. Children often disappoint us, spouses may be reticent and other relatives can undermine our chosen path. Some things may be entirely outside of your control, resulting in less than optimal situations that do not show you in the best light despite your best intentions.
It is important to portray reality as it should be, and not how it currently is. Project your vision, not the specific current state of affairs. This will help bend reality to your imagination and liking. |

Loss is the Greatest Gain
Fear not when your child turns away from you one day. This loss will be amply repaid through the ultimate status boost being an estranged parent provides. No pain can be greater than that of the spurned parent, no loss more grievous. You now have an eternal bargaining chip at hand, and in any gathering of suffering souls, you can rest assured that you shall reign supreme over other, lesser agonies.
