This is so true and disheartening at the same time. I knew of a helicopter parents that went as far as paying a local news agency a hefty price to broadcast their child at the high school. They both have uploaded and paid news agencies to have their children plastered on the internet for their academic and sports achievements.

I’m 31 my parents still try to helicopter me but at 25 I joined the navy to get out. Know I live alone different state my parents still try to helicopter me. So I just let them open all my mail from the VA. Recently I met up with a childhood friend 36 now he still lives with his parents and 24/7 on call from his mom she tells him when to be home who to be friends with. His mom went as far as to call my parents up and saying I’m wasting my life because I got tattoos and I’m a criminal

2018 parents: “helicopter parenting is bad!”
Also 2018 parents: “yes, I still breastfeed my 6 year old.”

I think alot of us experienced this. Parents over bearing, controlling, non respectful, and need to realize PRIVACY & SPACE!

All you helicopter parents out there, you are crippling your kids by doing what you are doing. Let them work things out themselves and be independent. It makes me sad to think that they are taught to seek help for even the most basic tasks. It doesn’t matter if they are the most book smart. Keep this in mind

CPS has made parents afraid to be anything other than fearful parents. Now don't get me wrong….CPS is a valuable protection for children who are suffering real abuse and neglect. But CPS has stepped over the boundaries from real abuse and neglect and are now causing abuse and neglect of a far worse kind. Children are so overprotected and forced to be dependent that they can't function as adults on their own. And while CPS is out there investigating the parents who are trying to raise their children to be independent a great many actually abused and neglected children fall through the cracks because there just aren't enough CPS workers to keep up with it all. This is a problem that is getting worse. A snowball effect. The Japanese trust their kids to travel miles on trains, walk to and from somewhere alone, and they have far surpassed us in technology and in their young adults and their work ethics. We have to do something or we will be facing extreme problems in the years ahead.
