ry commented on the word parental we
I kind of made this up, but found some instances in the blogosphere. (1 2 3)
Used to relate something to both parent and chilld when speaking to non-family members, or to both parents when speaking to the child, though it relates only to the speaker: "We're nervous about the admission process," "we decided not to go," "we'll see," "we're not rich" "we're disappointed" "our youngest."
