This is a question 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.

Objectively, yes.
This means that they tend to get away with more than they should at times. They can charm their way out of a lot. My oldest in particular has managed to get away with far too much because he knows who to smile at. I have no fucking idea where he learned that, as neither of his parents ever tried to get by on their looks. Apparently it's instinctive.

By all rights he should have had his nose flattened at least a few times by now.
