[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah... you know what? I'm a little tired of people criticizing helicopter parents. We all do what we think is best for our families. I don't think being close-knit and seeking family togetherness is inherently bad, quite the contrary. I speak as a member of an international family whose relatives are scattered all over the world. If I thought doing something "non-traditional" for my family was helpful, or if it made me very happy and I could afford it... heck yes, I'd do it! [/quote] Do you not see how visiting your college kid weekly is NOT allowing them to grow and become independent adults? If you are always around, assisting them, they will never be forced to learn to advocate/do things for themselves. I bet you think it's okay to call your kid's employer as well or join them for job interviews, because "it's helpful" [/quote] Who is not local that is visiting their college kid weekly? [/quote]
