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.

AOL to thatEvery year I take applications for voluntary work - normally from young people finishing off their D of E Gold Awards. I have one unfailing rule for dealing with enquiries: if the parents make the contact, we have no places available.
If the prospective volunteer can't even be arsed to write an email or make a phone call I don't want them anywhere near the responsible jobs I've got going.
This rule deals with more than half the enquiries I receive.

I wouldn't have minded so much, only she was just flat out ranting at me.Apparently it was all my fault - despite only working there for a short while - because I had taken her work experience spot. Err no...I get paid for the work I do, I'm enrolled in college, go there once a week and I did several years of work experience, in order to get the job, which I organised all by myself.
