Helicopter ParentsBack 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.

Hmmm, maybeThe only time I actually act like a helicopter parent is when my kids are playing on the computer. Not because I am concerned about the content of what they are playing but it’s because I am trying to have a go myself and hate seeing them play a game so badly (Come here son let me show you how to play that level).

I wish I had that luxuryAt 10 and 13 mine are far better on the PS3 than I could ever hope to be.
I get them to help me reach higher levels.
They even have a special tone of voice for telling me "You're not that bad dad, honest. Here, let me help you..."
Sigh
