Except they are not that much different. The good parent offers more scraps from the table, but she reserves the really good stuff for her rich friends. The kids like the bad parent because he is funnier and promises more. The family needs an intervention. Uncle Bernie tried before but was repulsed.
The best metaphor is of two parents competing for the affection of a child and one does the right thing for the child's health, the other lies to the child, lets them eat like sht, doesn't make them attend school, or do anything the kid doesn't want to do.
