Helicopter Parent?
Recently my principal made a reference to "helicopter parents" while we were having a meeting. Then she explained herself... a parent that hovers over their child and does not let them make decisions for themselves. I thought this term was very interesting. During our evening compute last night, my co-pilot/worker, decided we were raised by a "Stealth-bomber", sit back, let them make their own choices, then when incorrect, bomb them! We tend to parent like we were parented. I feel I am also like a Stealth-bomber. So are you a Helicopter or a Stealth-bomber?

I probably would have been a helicopter but the stealth-bomber treated his wife the same as his children! We all just adjust - Love MOM
I have laughed out loud reading your post :) I'm pretty sure like your mom, I could easily be a Helicopter but the big gun of the house treats his wife like a stealth bomber which in turn the kids get the same treatment. Libby
