[quote=Anonymous]My mother was a helicopter parent. By all measures, I am a successful person- I went to the best universities, have a great career, a great marriage, beautiful children. But I do not consider her helicopter parenting to be remotely "successful." For one thing, a lot of life is the journey, and helicopter parenting makes the child's journey as miserable as possible. I think I only did well because of a keen sense of self-preservation, and I don't have much of a relationship with the helicopter parent, who I suspect is mentally ill.[/quote]
