The ending of an episode when Princess becomes the mayor also implies that he gives her proper discipline when necessary.

* In the ''Franchise/Harry Potter'' series, the Dursleys utterly spoil Dudley. As a baby, it's mentioned that he was seen "kicking his mother up and down the street, screaming for sweets" and as a child, he's constantly pacified by being bribed with gifts (his father considers this a ''good thing'', that his son wants his "money's worth"), seems too never be scolded for breaking or abandoning said gifts, and gets away with bullying all the time. His parents overlook school reports on his bad behavior and weight issues (at least until the third book, when he reaches "roughly the same size and weight as a small killer whale", and even then Petunia ''still'' gives Dudley as large portions of food as she can get away with). The only notable times when he doesn't get his way are in the first book, when panic over Harry getting his Hogwarts letter overrules the Dursleys' desire to spoil their son, and the aforementioned diet regime. It gets to be so bad that when Dumbledore visits the family in the sixth book, he notes that their treatment of Dudley is, in a way, even ''worse'' abuse than what they inflicted on Harry.
** Zig-zagged with Malfoy's father. He's definitely spoiled and his father uses his wealth and power to pull off some absurd displays of favoritism for his son (among them buying top-of-the-line brooms for the entire Slytherin Quidditch team just to get Malfoy a position on it and forcing the Board of Governors to agree to execute Buckbeak). On the other hand, the first time Lucius Malfoy appears in the series, he's shown ordering his son not to touch anything in the shop they're in, refusing Malfoy's request for a present, making a snide comment about Malfoy's grades, and then scolding him for academically coming in second to a Muggleborn like Hermione Granger.

* [[Literature/{{Twilight}} Bella Swan's]] father is one of the most laid-back parents, hands-off parents around. Throughout the series, Bella continuously ignores the rules he sets, particularly the ones about him not wanting Edward over all the time, and he either doesn't notice or doesn't do anything about it. This gets pretty absurd in ''New Moon'' (when he makes one heartfelt effort to get Bella to see sense and move on past Edward but drops the subject when she refuses to talk about it) and ''Breaking Dawn'' (when Bella strongarms him into accepting her getting married at 18 and squashes his argument that maybe she and Edward are a little too young to be raising a child).

Added DiffLines:
Parents are supposed to the the authorities for their children, but these parents may not be good at it. They usually mean well, but when it comes to disciplining their children, they are too afraid or refuse to for any reason.
If this goes on, the kid usually turns into a SpoiledBrat[=/=]BrattyHalfPint with bad social skills.
Obviously, TruthInTelevision.
If they ''do,'' infact, disipline their child, then this will lead to WasTooHardOnHim.
Can be related to StupidGood if parents love their children too much because of it. Contrast AbusiveParents where parents aren't pushovers, but for the wrong reasons.
Compare to ExtremeDoormat.
!Examples
[[AC: Fanfic]]
* A JudgeDee fanfic uses this: a young boy with many facial tics, whose father seems completely indifferent, never beating or praising him, while his mother alternates between love and hate. It turns out the man was sterile, so his wife slept with another man to conceive (which, in eight-century China, was a horrifying crime, both the adultery and the fact that the husband did nothing against it). Ever since, the father doesn't punish the boy for fear of going too far, the mother is constantly reminded that she failed as a wife, and as a result the poor boy is growing up very confused.
[[AC: Film]]
* In ''Film/GirlsJustWantToHaveFun'', millionaire Bennett Sands basically lets his daughter Natalie do what she wants (until the end), making her a RichBitch.
* Regina George's mom in ''Film/MeanGirls'' has shades of this, as shown in a scene when Regina tells her mother to stop talking, and she stops.
[[AC:Literature]]
* In ''Literature/ItsAGoodLife'' (and the ''TwilightZone'' episodes) the parents are pushovers because the kid has dangerous psychic powers.
[[AC: Live Action TV]]
* Shown many times in ''Maury'' with violent teenage girls, with parents (usually only moms) who are terrified of their daughters, and are afraid of disciplining them.
[[AC: Web Original]]
* Plenty of examples at ''Website/NotAlwaysRight''
[[AC: Western Animation]]
* In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfJimmyNeutronBoyGenius'', there was rich father who didn't want to discipline his snobby son, Eustace Strytch, for his behavior because he was too ashamed. At the end, after Hugh gives him tips, he finally disciplines Eustace by punishing him for a month.
* Implied with Sarah and Ed's parents in ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy''.
* Vicky's parents in ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddparents'' are downright ''terrified'' of Vicky, and they are afraid of disciplining her.
* A JohnnyBravo episode has him baby sit a kid with magic powers. The parents are afraid of the kid big time, so they let him do what he wants.
* An implied zig-zagged example of ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'' is with Daddy Morebucks, Princess Morebucks' father. It's shown that he rarely disciplines his daughter when she throws temper tantrums, and gives her money to get her silenced. The ending of an episode when Princess becomes the mayor also implies that he gives her proper discipline when necessary.
* Charlotte and Drew Pickles towards Angelica sometimes in ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}''.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' episode, "The Itchy and Scratchy Movie", during a parent-teacher conference, Marge explains to Mrs. Krabappel that she and Homer have a hard time disciplining Bart whenever he does something wrong and are encouraged by her to start being firm about it. Following her advice, they get better at disciplining him, such as when they [[Main/DeniedFoodAsPunishment send him to bed without dinner]] for breaking Grandpa's teeth, and [[spoiler: preventing him from seeing ''The Itchy and Scratchy Movie'' when he doesn't watch Maggie and she drives Homer's car.]]
** In a {{Flashback}} on ''The Simpsons'' it's shown that Ned Flanders' parents were beatnicks who didn't believe in punishing their son for his unruly behavior, but on the other hand didn't want the behavior to continue.
--->Dr. Foster: Would you please tell your son to stop [tearing my office apart]?
--->Ned's Dad: We can't do it, man! That's discipline! That's like tellin' Gene Krupa not to go "boom boom bam bam bam, boom boom bam bam bam, boom boom boom bam ba ba ba ba, da boo boo tss!" We don't believe in rules, like, we gave them up when we started livin' like freaky beatniks!
--->Dr. Foster: You don't believe in rules, yet you want to control Ned's anger.
--->Ned's Mom: Yeah. You gotta help us, Doc. We've tried nothin' and we're all out of ideas.
