[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are some examples of coddling? I saw the PP above with the parents coming to college, but OP what do you mean?[/quote]

The girl I mentioned with two older parents. Their parents spend their entire lives doing anything and everything for this child. They have the money and time and tripping over themselves to do anything that this girl wants. This girl is definitely spoiled in every way. Both parents are extremely smart, successful and both are from $$$.

Another boy I am thinking of has divorced parents and both parents also always trying to do everything for this teenager.

I can also think of countless boys, happen to be Indian, whose moms dedicate their entire lives to them. The boys are soooooo coddled. [/quote]

I’m late 40s, Indian American, daughter. I wasn’t coddled per se, but maybe a bit. Mom did laundry, cooked, cleaned, but I ended up quite independent and competent. Left home for boarding school, got jobs, and grad school on my own, never any help with homework or projects. Though occasional financial help- paying back student loans, down payment. My brother never turned out well in the housekeeping, financial or general adulting sense.[/quote]

A lot of us had the mothers who cooked, cleaned, laundry, changed our sheets, made our beds in the morning, drove us anywhere.   That’s not a bad thing like anome people think and it’s not obsessive coddling that can mess a kid up.   [/quote]
