Line 3:
A '''Doting Parent''' is chiefly characterized by his or her rock-solid belief that no one on Earth has better, smarter, more talented, or better-looking children and will continually gush about that "fact" to... everyone. They are the kind of parents who are obsessed with following their children's love lives, fixing them up with members of the opposite sex, making sure they have the best opportunities in life to their eventual and complete embarrassment, sending them presents they don't want, and drive everyone around them insane by going on at length about the wonderfulness of their children!
Unlike the [[Overprotective Dad]] or [[My Beloved Smother]], the Doting Parent is generally not controlling or overprotective and does not view their child's potential or actual love interest as a threat. They encourage dating and find it amusing to tease their child relentlessly about and progress or lack thereof in their relationship. They even go so far as to "adopt" their children's significant others into the family well before either of the parties involved are ready to make that sort of commitment because they are so confident in their children's ability to choose a fitting partner.
