[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I’m thinking practically. We live a good hour or so from the airport. If I just drop him off and go home and his flight was canceled, I’d have to turn around and go back to pick him up. That’s a lot of gas money wasted that I don’t have. I could just sit in the airport before security and wait until he takes off or I could go sit and wait with him. Sitting with my teenager doesn’t mean I’m a helicopter mom or he’s immature. If he still wants to sit with his mom at his age, I’ll do it and enjoy the time. [/quote]

You go, mom.  I have a 17 yr old too and he likes spending time with me.  You must have a great relationship with your son that he likes to hang with you!  Even though you are thinking practically, it is wonderful that your son knows that you are there incase he needs you to give him a ride back. This kind of security from parents is what are children need in these crazy times.

Don't take offense when the DCUM nasties who call you a helicopter mom. Most of these people have children who can't stand them.  These children would have fared better being raised in an orphanage.[/quote]

Oh come on  :roll:

I am extremely close with my mom, and yet I went to overnight camp starting when I was 8, and volunteered with a community service company in Asia during summers in high school. That entailed a lot of independent air travel to/from Asia. I lived in Russia for a semester in college — not exactly an easy experience, but I learned a ton.

My parents were always there for me, but I also learned how to be independent. It is actually possible to accomplish both. [/quote]
