What are the 3 different meanings of Password child?

1. A child responsible for remembering parents' passwords

This type of password child assumes the role of a memory keeper for their parents' various online accounts. This is generally due to the fact that their parents either have too many accounts to manage themselves or find it difficult to track their login information. In this case, the child takes on a position of trust and reliability. 

2. The child's name incorporated into all their parents' passwords

This type of password child involves parents using their child's name as part of their password. It is believed that this is done to show favoritism towards that child. On the other hand, it can create resentment among siblings who are aware that their name never appears in any of their parents' passwords. 

3. A child who functions almost like a third parent

This type of password child involves taking on a role of responsibility almost like that of a parent. They take on tasks such as managing their parents' passwords, organizing their schedules, and taking care of their siblings. This type of child is looked upon as smart and mature and has a close relationship with their parents.

Are you your parents' favorite child?
