Helicopter Parents
Back when young ScaryDuck worked in the Dole office rather than simply queuing in it, he had to deal with a claimant brought in by his mum. She did all the talking. He was 40 years old.
Have you had to deal with over-protective parents? Get your Dad to tell us all about it.

Made up for it later in life
Definitely weird that when you miss out on something in your childhood you tend to go overboard later on.
I was always keen on Transformers, but my parents only ever bought me the cheapy shit ones, whilst my friends had all the ace ones.
I now have a series of them in mint condition still boxed, collecting dust on my shelf. Christ knows what I'm going to do with them, I don't want to sell them as they're what I always wanted when I was a kid, but to be honest at my age I'm not exactly going to start playing with them, and I don't want to pass them to my kids as they'll just trash them.
