You laugh, but that's literally how one of my friends is raising his poo poo kids. They're loving awful, spend all of their time with some kind of screen in front of their face, and are actively discouraged from doing anything sport-like. Their only reading materials are comic books and video game dialogue.
The older one was getting bullied for being a giant loving pussy (he's the pussiest pussy to ever puss a puss- can only eat bland food, scared of everything, gets picked on by his 5 year old brother, just awful), and my friend insisted his kid do everything except stand up for himself. Run and find a teacher, cower in a corner, loving whatever doesn't result in a confrontation. It's weird, because we were active and weren't bullied in school, but now it's like all aspects of manhood have become anathema to them.

He's in his mid-30s, and his older kid is almost 10, so it's not strictly a new millennial thing. It's bad, but it's a very good case study in how not to raise children.

On the plus side, the kids will learn the cardinal rule of schools/prisons when they call on a teacher for help: Snitches get stitches.

The kid is going to end up living in a beige apartment with his pet axolotl and shrewish defacto wife. Or snap and shank his tormentor in the last semester of twelfth grade with a sharpened pair of safety scissors, have an epiphany during his short stay in jail, sever contact with his parents and become a millennial hating juiced up body builder with a damaged Pitbull-cross who unconditionally loves him for who he is.

I hope for his sake it's the latter.

He is also part of the anti-vax squad, as all yuppie Australian city dwellers must.

When I was in junior high almost 15 years ago my dad would have been in his late 30s and he actively discouraged me from ever standing up for myself. I was just supposed to be quiet and never talk back, or go to teachers, or fight because his paranoid rear end was genuinely worried that junior high bullies would "fire bomb the house." And I mean discouraged in the yelling and getting beat way.

Of all the poo poo that stupid parents do, I draw the absolute line at anti-vaxxers. Like I am laughing because I can identify with a handful of the stuff posted here but my kid is getting his first round of shots right on time. You could unschool your vegan toddler with minimal screen time and share it all on their personal instagram but vaccinate your goddamn children.

I have friends sort of like this. Their kids aren't lovely or anything, but they coincidentally like every nerd thing he likes. They watch anime with them, take them to conventions, etc. To a certain extent it's inevitable as parents are the main adults in a kid's life so of course their likes and dislikes will inform the kid's, but I think there should be a limit so that the kid can more easily find the things they like themselves without having to feel like they're "betraying" their parents.
