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.

I watched Tom & Jerry and Looney Toons as a child.So did my sister, for that matter. Neither one of us grew up thinking it was okay to drop anvils on anyone or push them off a mile-high cliff or blast them in the face with a shotgun. No one else I know did either.
And yet there are still those who blame cartoons for childhood violence. Personally I think that only being allowed things like Teletubbies and Rainbow Brite would be more likely to drive me to homicide than anything else.

hahahaYeah, me too, I've never really seen why people think cartoons instigate violence either.
I grew up watching Looney Tunes, My dad watched them every Sunday afternoon (before Airwolf, after the wrestling - ah the memories..)
Great post by the way, have a click..
I'm a new-ish parent myself (1 of each, 5 and 2) and I agree with the whole 'showing them the ropes' reference with the bars etc.
I believe that by taking your kids to places, so they see for themselves, would play a big part, not only in their education on life itself, but I also imagine that they'd respect your opinions a little more - especially when they get to that awkward teenage stage..
The reason I feel that way, is because my old man did the same with me when I was a kid..
