When he finally does, the parents already know about it and wonder what the big deal is. Occasionally, the person almost lied about shows up at the house with his own explanation, omitting certain truths. Examples of Open-Minded Parent include:

  • When a character spends a long time trying to think up a proper explanation/excuse/lie to tell his parents, he expects them either to be floored or to completely misunderstand. When he finally does, the parents already know about it and wonder what the big deal is. Occasionally, the person almost lied about shows up at the house with his own explanation, omitting certain truths. Sometimes the parents actually knew a lot more than they were letting on. Or they genuinely just accept it with frightening ease, telling us they're pretty cool (if weird) people. Due to their overly receptive behavior and their innate parental philosophy to let their kids be themselves without too many rules to constrict them, they are often portrayed as Good Parents. The alternatives are not that much better: Overprotective Dad, Education Mama, Hands-Off Parenting, or even outright Parental Abandonment. Compare Parental Obliviousness, where the secret still has to be kept- but it's strangely easy. See also Doting Parent, Milholland Relationship Moment, Reasonable Authority Figure.
