Parenting styles

On the first image, a Triangle-girl is shown wearing a ribbon. She is sad, and is standing next to a shattered vase. A Triangle dad on the left is concerned and is running towards the girl, and the Triangle mom is angry and raising her eyes to the heavens. Caption: Good parent - bad parent.

On the second image, a Triangle-boy is shown wearing a baseball hat. He is sad, and is standing next to a dropped plate full of food. Both Triangle-parents are concerned and running towards him. Caption: Good parent - good parent.

On the third image, both the Triangle-girl and the Triangle-boy are shown brandishing large wooden clubs. Next to them is a shattered TV or a screen. They seem sad. Triangle-dad is upset, screaming and gesticulating wildly, and the Triangle-mom is angry and is raising her eyes to the heavens. Caption: Bad parent - bad parent.
