Parental Obliviousness	comment	Parental Obliviousness would be best described as a subtrope of Adults Are Useless. The kid is either trying to tell the parent something or trying to hide something, but the parent misses this completely, as well as other significant cues about their child's state of mind or personality. Sometimes the parents are oblivious because there's something going on and the parent is a Muggle who can't know because s/he isn't Secret-Keeper. Or perhaps the Extra-Strength Masquerade seems to be hitting them especially hard. Sometimes it's just a mundane reason for the cluelessness, like work causing mom or dad to be absent too much. Occasionally, it's a case of the parent thinking too much and not being able to see the forest for the trees; or the parent not wanting to see and going deep into denial. And sometimes the parent is actively contriving to not know something they consider brain breaking. Denial is handy to maintain obliviousness. Usually the trope is played for comedic effect, and often in animation to allow child or teenage characters to go off adventuring without their parents knowing and freaking out about it. (The alternative being the parents not being there.) There's often a scene where the kids are in trouble and the parents finally find out and ask why did the kids not come to them about it. To that, the parents are always stunned to hear that their own children fear their reaction more than the trouble itself and cannot understand how their role in family discipline made them an object of fear that helped allow the problem to escalate into a crisis. The flip side is Open-Minded Parent, where they figure out what their kid is up to... And seem strangely untroubled by it. Compare and contrast with Mama Bear, who knows what's happening in her child's life, and nothing will hurt her child. Then there's the Reasonable Authority Figure, who may not believe everything they hear, but will invariably hear them out and humor them. Parental Obliviousness is often required for a Don't Tell Mama or Batman in My Basement situation to work, or at least helps it along. This trope has an older, more senile relative in Grandparental Obliviousness.

By the time he discovers something's wrong, it's far too late.

Alex is trapped in a cell even her powers can't get her out of, and her parents are kidnapped by the Big Bad and stuck in the cell outside Alex's prison. Alex finally has to admit that she and her sister have been lying to them and hiding her powers for four years. Alex's parents blow a fuse, and her mom even says, "We must be the most oblivious parents ever!" To be fair, they're good parents and Alex happens to have powers well suited to sneaking around and avoiding being spotted.

Parental Obliviousness / int_261c8d3f	comment	The Simpsons: When it comes to Bart’s - and occasionally Homer’s - long-running issues and misbehaviors, Marge is not oblivious per se, but she often retreats into denial and vainly hopes that they will change for the better. This was even lampshaded in the episode Moms I’d Like to Forget, which showed the largest area of her brain occupied first by “Repressed Rage” and later by “Denial About Family”. Lisa’s Belly: When Lisa gains weight as the result of medication, Marge playfully calls her “chunky”. This sends Lisa into an existential crisis about her appearance, and Marge takes a PAINFULLY long time to catch on to how much impact her words had. Even Homer grasps the severity of the situation before Marge does, and arranges an outing with Aunt Patty and Aunt Selma to help bring back Lisa’s confidence. Towards the end it’s revealed that Marge had a similar experience as a child, her own mother calling her features “plain”, which has apparently stayed with her through the years.

They've been seen twice, and both times they were planted in front of their TV. The implication is that they are highly detached from Bruno. They may not even be aware of his girlfriend, Corrie.

Parental Obliviousness / int_2bb4ae0f	comment	Heroes: Crazy-Prepared HRG is prepared for everything except the fact that forbidding Claire from going to the homecoming dance means, as a teenager, she's going to defy him and go anyway; even if he did have a really good reason (that, admittedly, he did not bother even hinting at). In contrast, Claire's mother had no idea at the time that Claire is superpowered (or that HRG is a Badass Normal hero-hunter), but immediately recognizes that Claire is going to sneak out, and even runs interference for her. And Niki, who has powers of her own, knows her son Micah is gifted, but for a while there, she didn't seem to know how gifted. The Petrellis have a major, debilitating case of this, to the point that Angela is still dismissing Peter's capacity to accomplish anything after he's rewritten the course of history right in front of her four times. When he comes back from the future in full god mode in season three, she essentially pats him condescendingly on the head and then goes back to putting all her eggs in the Sylar basket. Even when he casually blasts apart and overrides her plans three times in two episodes, she still can't take him or his power seriously. More generally, the Petrellis constantly play for relatively minor political influence (they just want to Kennedy their way into a few elections, no actual shadow-government stuff involved) while ignoring the very real physical conflict and actual blood-shedding wars that the brothers (especially Peter) are usually involved with.

This could possibly be excused by the entire Mallard household running interference and Honker being nothing in bad-guy bait compared to Gosalyn. However, the writers seem to frequently abuse Honker's mostly Stab-Worthy older brother Tank right under their bills without either batting an eye, most egregiously in "It's a Wonderful Leaf." Yet, they do appear to be genuinely loving parents... Never attribute to malice what could just as easily be caused by stupidity.

She also somehow overlooks him gradually turning into a miniature humpback whale (not literally) over the previous 15 years. This trope is pretty much the Dursleys' entire parenting strategy, at least when it comes to Dudley. When he gets bad grades in school, Petunia insists he's a gifted boy and his teachers don't understand him. When Dumbledore comments on the horrid way they've mistreated Dudley (i.e. letting him grow up to be a spoiled bully), Vernon and Petunia are both bewildered.

When they finally came clean about their relationship several months later, Misato thought they were pulling a prank on her because she did not believe they could get together without her noticing anything (to be fair, they deceived nearly everybody). Ghosts of Evangelion: Misato was completely oblivious to her wards' feelings and their increasing mental and emotional instability. As a result of it, they spent their whole lives trying to get over their issues. In Last Child of Krypton, Misato had no idea what her young ward and assistant was Superman. She only found out when another person told her. In Neon Genesis Evangelion: Genocide, Misato was pretty oblivious to her wards’ complicated and quickly-changing relationship... again. Noticing a pattern here? In Once More with Feeling: Even though Shinji acts strangely and knows things he shouldn’t know, Misato doesn’t suspect that he’s a time-traveller. Gendo knows his son isn’t at all what he was expecting, and Ritsuko constantly brings to his attention that Shinji keeps doing things that make no sense, but Gendo keeps thinking it doesn’t merit his attention. In The Second Try, this time, Shinji and Asuka are both time travelers and successfully hide that fact from Misato for months. Plus the fact that that, you guessed it, they're dating. In Thousand Shinji, Shinji and Asuka evolved, transformed, gained new powers, and also were making out the whole time... and Misato never noticed. Once again. Apparently, fanon thinks Misato is the most oblivious person on the face of the Earth.

Parental Obliviousness / int_4522fd1	comment	In the first 'Jade' novel of the Whateley Universe, Jade's foster parents not only miss that Jade has superpowers (mild though they may be), that Jade is transgender, that the 'friend' who doesn't want to come to the house is actually a pile of clothing animated by Jade's powers, that Jade is arranging on her own to go to Superhero School Whateley Academy on a scholarship, but also that Jade has to leave to get tested for admittance to the school. And then of course there's the end of "Christmas Elves," where Fey tells her mother more or less exactly what a mess they got themselves into . . . and Fey's mom just assumes she was trying out for a TV role. This despite everything Fey has told her mom about her adventures thus far. Granted, she did know that Fey was meeting with a big-name Hollywood producer. Who happened to be in league with a supervillainess at the time. And really, if you knew that part, and then your daughter and her little friend told you they were kidnapped and murdered (yes, a girl stands there and says she was murdered) and had to blow up an entire Syndicate base to escape, wouldn't you think it was a screenplay? At least, right up until the news talked about the building downtown that was just blown to bits.

Namely, the fact that his research takes up so much of his time and attention, the fact that he has forced her to work as his assistant after school, and the general assumption that she will follow in his footsteps despite her lacking interest. Add in the fact that he only pays attention to her when Pokémon are involved, and you have one of the biggest factors that drove her away from home and onto the Infinity Train.

Shinji and his wife fail to notice that their daughter is being bullied. Shinji in particular is especially egregious since his daughter makes it completely clear that she is having a really bad time at school and he completely fails to take the hint. Nagumo's mother fails to see Nagumo as the Spoiled Brat and monster she truly is, even in the face of video evidence. Justified in this case, since she is an anti-bullying activist and refuses to believe her own daughter is a brutal bully. Yumi's mother still thinks Yumi and Shiori are friends, even long after Yumi has turned against Shiori and is genuinely shocked when she sees the video evidence of Yumi abusing Shiori. Kaho's parents are also dumbfounded and only watch as their daughter loses her mind.

Parental Obliviousness / int_72262aee	comment	Avatar: The Last Airbender: Has a double example. Toph's parents are very overprotective of their "helpless little blind girl", to the point that they keep her locked up in the house at all times, keep her very existence a secret from almost everybody, and think she's still taking baby lessons in Earthbending, oblivious to the fact that she's actually one of the most powerful and skilled Earthbenders alive and regularly sneaks out to participate in (and win) underground fights against grown men who have been Earthbending their entire lives. Once they find out, rather than accept that their helpless little blind girl isn't so helpless, they double down hard and use the whole thing as evidence that they haven't been overprotective enough, declaring that Toph will now be monitored by guards 24/7 from now on. For her own good, of course. This is the final straw which pushes Toph to run away from home for good and join the Gaang. Again, her parents double down and refuse to believe that their helpless little blind girl could have ever managed to run away on her own, that dastardly Avatar must have kidnapped her! So they hire men to go kidnap her back. Her father actually gets worse in the comic continuation. While he's apparently accepted he will never be able to force Toph to come back home, now he just insists she cannot be the daughter he raised, and Toph isn't about to be something she's not to get him to pay attention to her.

After a second season episode that ended with another family moving out of town, nobody but Orel (and Christina, Orel's Distaff Counterpart from the other family) ever noticed that younger son Shapey and Block, the youngest son of the Posabules, were accidentally switched. Bloberta discovers this only in the third season premiere, more than ten episodes later. The parents don't accept Block back. When Clay sees both Block and Shapey playing together, he writes it off as an effect of his being perpetually inebriated.

It gets worse in later episodes where Vicky doesn't even make any attempt to hide her evilness. Taking the worse factor a step further, in "Vicky Gets Fired", Timmy shows his parents incriminating evidence of Vicky torturing him, but they don't even bat an eye. In fact, they only get upset at Vicky and fire her because she erased their reality tape. In one episode, Doug Dimmadomenote That's right, Doug Dimmadome!

Partially justified in-universe, as he spent much of their lives away from home on political duties (and the siblings actively worked to keep things on the DL), but he also had a fanatical obsession with preserving the legacy of his family name - rather than paying any real attention to the actual members of that family. This led to a denial so deep that even when his daughter Cersei threw the truth in his face, he still didn't believe it.

It's every child's nightmare. Then the story's ending turns hilarious. The parents are so oblivious that they actually mistake the monster for their son and the monster is so utterly confused by the turn of events that he just sort of goes along for the ride. The look on his face at the end after they tuck him into bed is priceless.

Parental Obliviousness / int_b7db5642	comment	Stranger Things: Most parents (beside Joyce) are oblivious to the supernatural going-ons related to the Upside Down, but Ted and Karen Wheeler take the cake. Not only do they fail to realize that their daughter Nancy is hunting a monster from an Alternate Dimension, but even worse is that their son Mike successfully hid his super powered girlfriend Eleven in their basement for nearly a week. The only reason Ted and Karen found out about Eleven at all is because the Mad Scientist hunting her when she Escaped from the Lab thought it was a better idea to talk to them to see what they know (which is absolutely nothing) rather than let his borderline insane underling kill them when they start annoying her. At one point, Nancy allows Steve and later Jonathan to spend the night in her room, meaning that both Wheeler children are simultaneously hiding people in the house, and their parents are none the wiser about any of it. To her credit, Karen is at least trying to have a relationship with her children, and just assumes that Mike and Nancy's odd behavior is due to the disappearances of their respective best friends (which isn't entirely inaccurate, even if she hasn't noticed the supernatural side of the story). Ted, however, is just completely checked out on everything regarding his children.

In "The Disenchanted," he refuses to allow Lydia to change seats in class to avoid a boy who is distracting her. She runs away to New York City to move in with her Aunt Kate. In "Rally Round the Flag," he has no clue what sort of gift a girl Lydia's age would like for Christmas (his wife normally does the shopping), so he settles on buying a large American flag. Lydia is surprised and disappointed when she opens the present, but decides not to make a fuss about it. In "Dear Is a Four Letter Word," he forgets about his promise to leave work early to attend Lydia's birthday party, arriving two hours after it's over. In "Child’s Play," he forgets all about a picnic date he made with Lydia.

It blatantly crosses over into this trope when Issei gets another three female housemates at once without complaint, and when the family house is renovated into a six-story mansion overnight to accommodate everyone (in opulence at that), they awake the next morning and happily remark how nice it is to have the extra living space.

Parental Obliviousness / int_dda72858	comment	The Iron Giant: Hogarth's mother does not seem to have the faintest clue that Hogarth unabashedly despises Kent Mansley, and has been desperate to avoid him since he moved in. She goes so far to suggest Hogarth take Mansley around and show him the sights. Whether this is true obliviousness or just Hogarth's mother wanting her son to accept they have to rent the spare room for money is not completely obvious. She only picks up a dislike for Kent when he eventually calls the army on her son and nearly gets the town nuked.

Parental Obliviousness / int_e033aa72	comment	El Tigre: Inverted in that Manny's parents are both well aware that he is a superhero. His father is a little overprotective about it. His mother can't handle it at all; she hyperventilates, and actually left because she couldn't handle it when her husband superheroed (this is the result of her having been a danger junkie during her own superhero days). In fact, Manny's grandfather is a supervillain and is often trying to convert Manny to evil.

Parental Obliviousness / int_e293455a	comment	Buffy the Vampire Slayer Buffy's mom, for the first couple of seasons at least, was incredibly clueless. When the truth finally came out in the season 2 finale, Buffy even called her on it, asking her if she'd ever wondered where all the blood she'd had to wash out of Buffy's clothes got there. Oddly enough, the backstory give a perfect reason she wouldn't notice: Buffy was thought to be a troubled kid (she burned down her last school's gym). There's Willow's mom, who seemed to be only around when it was inconvenient for her daughter. She had only three appearances over the course of the series, and only one of them in person. Any parenting knowledge is cited from what sound like psychology textbooks, and it took her months to notice her daughter had gotten a haircut.

Dr. Hikari knows quite well that both his twin sons are going to save the world, though Mrs. Hikari tends to be more oblivious. Same for Mega Man Star Force. Dr. Hoshikawa practically set up his son to save the world, while Mrs. Hoshikawa doesn't even have any idea her son is Rockman / Mega Man.

Lois does this in spades for not seeing Stewie's attempts and contempt for her life. Also, the entire family does this to Meg. Nobody in the entire show seems to notice that Stewie is an evil genius, with the exception of Brian, who just doesn't care. Word of God states that they notice Stewie saying and doing everything we the viewers see, but because he is a baby, they do not take him seriously.

Parental Obliviousness / int_fc0e7530	comment	Dexter's Laboratory: Dexter's parents are probably the epitome of this trope. They have no idea that Dexter has a secret laboratory in his bedroom, and assume that he just spends a lot of time in his bedroom. In fairness, Dexter is a Mad Scientist. They have become aware of the lab, and then been rendered unknowing on screen. The episode "Double Trouble" has Dexter and Dee Dee make countless clones of themselves and Dee Dee's friends, wreaking havoc in the laboratory and rushing out as Mom calls them for lunch. Dad seems to pay no mind to the hundreds of children passing by him in the stairs, and only comments on their hurry. In the episode "Coupon for Craziness", there's a mix-up at the grocery store and the family brings an entirely different kid home with them, who only kinda looks like Dexter and has a similar name. Dee Dee is the only one who seems to notice the difference between Dexter and "Dextor".

Most of the other parents the young couple encounter aren't much better: "Can we talk like this in front of your kid?" "Pfft, it's all white noise to him, see: Brian. ''Brian''. Brian! Brian!!"

Throughout the first season, the kids get into all kinds of crazy adventures involving unicorns, dwarves and magic books, while Stan never seems to notice any of it. But as we see at the end of the first episode, Stan has some secrets of his own — he is seen descending a secret mysterious staircase behind the vending machine at the end of Season 1. In the first episode of season 2, Stan reveals that he knew what the kids were up to all along — he just didn't want to reveal his own involvement.
