[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is 100% a parent issue. They were helicopter parents while their kids were in school and now it’s taking on a different form (is there a new name for this?). My kids are young adults and are working and paying all their bills. I have friends who know way too much about their kid’s job and talk about it to a friend group. For example, their likes and dislikes about work and bosses name. Even if you know this information, keep it to yourself. [/quote] I don't think you understand OP's post. The parents aren't talking about jobs, but about other interests. Parent friend: How is Larla doing? Parent: Great, she just signed up for improv classes and is really excited! It's so fun. OP seems to think this somehow invalidates that Larla got a degree and job in STEM or is somehow faking trying to be quirky by trying a new hobby. It's an OP issue. People can be interested in and enjoy more than one thing.[/quote]
