This article includes a discussion of a scene that could trigger emetophobia.
SPOILERS for The Parenting are ahead!
At first, their issues stem from the fact thatThe Parentings charactersare very, very different people.
Rohans family are uptight and concerned with appearances, while Joshs family are laid back and profane.
However, the issue changes when repeating the Wi-Fi password multiple times summons a demonic poltergeist named Andras.
He makes their lives a living hell, but they decide to fight back.

Ultimately, the satisfying ending offers an important message about putting aside differences and working together.
Josh and Rohan come to the conclusion that the best option is to kill the host.
Rohan gives Josh the gun to shoot him.
However, hes unwilling to sacrifice the man he loves.
As such, he tries to take the demon into him, thinking hell die instead.
However, this becomes the key to defeating Andras once and for all.
to survive, he has to have a host body.
Realizing its weakening the poltergeist, the others join in, inviting Andras to possess them.
Eventually, he takes his true form outside the body and dies.
To punctuate his defeat, Frank steps on Andras neck, ending him once and for all.
As such, the fact that Josh proposes to Rohan at the end ofThe Parentingis an pleasant twist.
Ultimately, Josh becomes confident in moving forward with an engagement.
Its plausible that he has other methods of transference as well.
Because Allie and Brenda summoned him to the remote home, hes seemingly stuck haunting that single building.
He has a thirst for blood, as shown by his massacre of Allies family.
The assumption is that they are working alongside the poltergeist after their death.
However, the end ofThe Parentingreveals the true reason theyre haunting Josh and Rohans families.
The ghost family spends the whole movie trying to warn the families about Andras so they wouldnt get killed.
My best guess is that the ghosts wanted to scare the families so they would leave.
Otherwise, the actions make no sense.
The reasoning is twofold.
After all, the summoning was her suggestion.
This implies that she would still follow his instructions even if she didnt want to.
Joshs and Rohans families are filled with vastly different personalities, values, and self-expressions.
With this, the families inThe Parentingcan defeat the poltergeist who ruined their vacation.
