I was going to ask that you allow me to coin a new word: parentoia. But I just Googled it, and others are using that term. The site I looked at used in regards to parental fear for their child's safety. I wonder though, if they're familiar with the dictionary definition of paranoia: illusions of grandeur or persecution.
So my version of parentoia is for parents of teenagers: illusions of authority or relevance.

Would an aspect of dry humor be material that's only half kidding?
