I suggest Vicky from Fairly Odd Parents as the page image, 'cause face it, who's the first person that comes to mind when you think of this trope?
I've returned from the depths to continue politely irritating the good people of TV Tropes.(◕‿◕✿)

Thinking about soft-splitting this by type:
- Idiot Hero, does not know how to take care of child.
- Lazy, ignores child, watches TV / chats on phone / throws party
- Complete Monster, doing something bad to the child.
- Card-Carrying Villain, doing something bad other than to the child (e.g., robs house).
- Anti-Villain / Jerkass Woobie, treats child badly because of psychological reason, etc.
Does the current page image illustrate the trope well enough? Vicky is a good example, but if you've never seen The Fairly Oddparents before, what does the picture tell you about the trope?
