** Attempted by [[Angel]]'s father. [[Self-Made Orphan|He took it rather badly.]]
* Arguably, also the case for [[The Woobie|Dean's]] upbringing by his father in ''[[Supernatural (TV series)|Supernatural]]''
* A memorable example occurred in a season 6 episode of [[Friends]] with [[Bruce Willis
* Flashbacks in [[Psych]] explain that this was how [[Trickster Archetype|Shawn]] was raised by his dad after his mom left the family. His dad a law officer raised Shawn to have perfect eidetic memory, allowing him to recall objects and events to minute detail but this had the side effect of leaving Shawn [[Loners Are Freaks|socially awkward]]. However its not played for audience sympathy, Shawn is most definitely NOT [[The Woobie]]; being a [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold|prankster]] to the highest form. In fact he uses his eidetic memory to run a scam as a fake psychic.
** Actually, Shawn's mom didn't leave until he was a senior in high school. Presumably she agree with Henry that training Shawn to be a detective was a good idea or at least didn't want to argue the point.
