Good parent = has a steady job, is emotionally supportive, is strict but fair, not overbearing, gives good advice, and does not allow their own needs/wants to outweigh their childrens needs.





Bad parent = has little to no income, is emotionally/physically abusive, is overbearing, gives bad advice, and allows their own selfish desires to outweigh their childrens needs.





Most parents fall somewhere in the middle - and it can vary from day to day, year to year, or hour to hour.
I can tell you what a good parent is. A good parent is one that loves the family and it`s priority number one. One that can discipline children with love and care, be a good example for their children, one that can always stay humble and teach children about mistakes and life, one that can go out of his way and time to be with their children and enjoy them, one that is a good listener and becomes a friend once their children become adults.
A bad parent is someone who physically/mentally abuses their child. A bad parent is someone who restricts their child's imagination.


A bad parent is one who tries to rule their child's life every step of the way(i.e. force them to become a doctor or lawyer).


A bad parent allows their child to express negative behavior(i.e. underage drinking, expressing racism/sexism/etc).





A good parent listens to their child(and I don't mean the child commanding the parent...I mean hearing the child out).


A good parent doesn't sugar coat the harsh realities of life because they will face it one day and it's better to give them the heads up than to let them crash and burn.


A good parent will dicipline(doesn't always have to be physical) the child when necessary.
Good parent : loves there child, cares where they are, is there for them, gives them hugs and kisses, tells them they love them, makes sure they have a clean, warm house, makes sure they have cloths that are cleaned, shows them discipline, try to keep them from harm





Bad parents: doesn't care where they are, doesn't keep them from harm, dose drugs in front of there child, gives there child drugs, has strangers in there house, lives in a dirty house, doesn't clean there cloths, doesn't make them go to school, doesn't help them with there school work
Good parents love unconditionally, but instill boundries and guidelines so that their children grow up to be loving, caring, happy, productive and independant.


I think bad parents give up too easily, don't promote fairness, don't communicate well.


Good parents can sometimes do bad things, and bad parents can sometimes be good - it can change.

good parent-


- cares


- listens


- loves kids


- willing to talk about anything


- fixes healthy meals


- helps with homework when he's stuck


- laughs at kid's jokes


- pays attention to their pointless stories





bad parent:


- doesn't listen


- is never around


- doesn't like to spend time with kid


- could care less what they do or don't do


- yells all the time


- puts all of his/her pressure on the kid


- pressures kid to do something not necessary or fun


- hits kid


- ';abuses'; kid






A good parent is consistent in what they tell their kids to do and expect them to do, and does not torture their kids emotionally or physically, does things with their kids to have fun and learn together, and tells their kids they love them. A bad parent does the opposite things.
good parent:


diciplines


pays attention


gives hugs and kisses


feeds good healthy food





bad parent:


spoils rotten


doesn't care what they do


is never home


feeds junk food
