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.

Bunch of bloody nutters
We looked at sending our son to a Waldorf/Steiner school. The school was lovely, fantastic buildings with lots of bushland around and a very open and friendly feel. Then they started on the "no TV, no radio, no computers until the child is 5" bollocks, I can kind of see their point but when they found out I worked for HP they looked at me as if I'd shat in their camomile tea.
Not long after I learned about their "anthroposophy" cobblers; fairys are real and other crap. Then heard of their banning the use of certain colours as they are "unpure". One Asian child could not draw a picture of his family and colour their skin with a brown crayon.
