pairent
A single adult who’s doing all the work of being two parents, just so they can pretend they’re not failing at life.
He yelled at me for messing up his hair and then tried to apologize by giving me a hug.
My pairent said he was doing both jobs because he didn’t want to be ‘just’ a dad. I don’t know what that means, but it’s not good.
He tried to be both parents while also trying to get me to clean my room and finish my math homework at the same time.
