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.

LAST year whilst helping at a local youth group, a parent of a newly joined kid came in to complain that we'd over run by 5 minutes or so. Turns out she was upset because it meant he couldn't get to bed ontime, normally she wanted him in bed by 9 but on a club night, he had to be in bed by 9.30.
He was 15.
It was a Friday Night.

Thanks for opening that particular old wound.
I've clicked because I share his pain and shame.
