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.

my parents were helicopter parents. When I started to learn how to walk my dad suggested putting up stair gates. My mum's reply was "Oh no! Let her fall down once and she'll never do it again".

outside my bedroom, I soon learnt how to get around it and then had loads of fun continuously falling down the stairs! 'cos I've done it loads of times! In fact I think it's had a lasting effect.

Oddly enough she only fell once (and didn't hurt herself)

in my house - until my mum fell down the stairs.
Neither me nor my brother or sister fell down the stairs (as babies anyway)
