People Were Asked About Their Worst Experience With Helicopter Parents And Holy Smokes- They Delivered

If they could wrap their kids in bubble wrap and make them stay home forever they would. But that's not as good of an idea as they think it is.

We all have that one friend who couldn’t go out with the group unless he asks permission one week in advance or someone does it for him. In the events that they were allowed to come with, they have to take pictures of everything and answer calls before the first ring even stops.

If you don’t know anyone like that in your group of friends then it might be you that has helicopter parents. Helicopter parents are the term they use lovingly for parents who are very controlling and hover over every life decision their kids make.

They usually believe their kids are better than other kids and would ensure that everyone knows that, from their teachers to hiring managers. Helicopter parents are also uber protective and if they can watch every move of their kids they will.

When parents don’t grow out of being like this, their kids become very dependent on them or they spend their adult life trying to run away from them. It’s also very sad when they grow up not having enough skills to handle the trials of life.

Helicopter parents were the topic in a r/AskReddit post. OP asked Redditors about the worst case of helicopter parents that they’ve experienced and you’d doubt if you could survive the situations of these people.
