* This is how Jeff and Liu's parents act in the [[Literature/JeffTheKiller2015 2015 remake]] of ''Literature/JeffTheKiller'': when he and his brother get in trouble for standing up to the local bullies, their parents take the side of the cops, refuse to listen to their children about what happened even when in private, and even send Liu away as punishment. This is all because the bully, Randy, is the son of their father's new boss, and they'd rather look good to their new neighbors than support their children. After Jeff is in the hospital for being hit with a flare gun, his mother is more concerned with how he'll look than if he'll be okay mentally or physically; all of this makes it no wonder they die in this version of the story.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'', the way Ming treats Mei has shades of this. Mei expresses dissatisfaction with being her mother's "perfect little Mei-Mei" all the time and [[spoiler:after Mei runs off, Ming's not so much angry at what Mei ''did'', as she is about ''how it reflects on her''.]]

* In ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'', the way Ming treats her daughter Mei has shades of this. The first few minutes establish that Mei expresses has been raised as a carbon copy of her mother, always expected to meet Ming's very high standards in all ways, while Ming seeks to control and plan every minute of Mei's life. Mei eventually starts to express dissatisfaction with being her mother's "perfect little Mei-Mei" all the time and finally strikes back, seeking to establish herself as her own person. Especially telling is Ming's reaction to this: [[spoiler:after Mei runs off, [[DeclarationOfPersonalIndependence chooses to keep her panda]] and abandons the banishing ritual, Ming's not so much angry at what Mei ''did'', as she is about ''how it reflects on her''.]]

Alphabetizing example(s): missed that Four Kids example uses "4" in the title instead of spelling it out.
* ''Literature/FourKidsInFiveEAndOneCrazyYear'': Tiffany, a NewTransferStudent and one of the few upper-class students, has divorced parents who fought hard over custody of her. Her father won (implicitly because her mother has substance addiction issues), and, having gotten that victory, has proceeded to ignore her livelihood, both emotionally (he doesn't visit on Career Day) and physically (he's such a bad cook her classmates think she's bulimic due to her thinness) ever since.

* A lot of noble parents in ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'' exhibit this behavior, to varying extents, but nobody plays this straighter than Tywin Lannister: he had it drilled into his children's heads since they were very young that their whole purpose in life was to bring glory to the Lannister name and doesn't give a damn about their personal happiness or emotional well-being. Even when they're well into adulthood, Tywin routinely forces his children to do things they don't want to do if he thinks it'll improve the family's social and political standing; part of the reason he hated his youngest son Tyrion so much was because he saw Tyrion's dwarfism as a stain on his reputation.
