30 Times Kids Had Had Enough Of Helicopter Parents And Shared Screenshots Online (New Pics)

I don't see this one as helicopter parenting. My mom had sexual assault attempt (luckily she screamed and woke up the whole house) when she was a kid during a sleep overs at a friend's house. She got so traumatised that sleepovers were a big NO. I also complained a lot about it as a kid, but as an adult I don't see it as a big deal now. I understand my mother. She wasn't a helicopter parent btw. She always let me stayed until late at my friends but just never let me stay over. One of my parents always picked me up.

"Get pregnant to spite you" will never not be funny. Even as a teenager, I'm aware the biggest fallout of pregnancy is going to be more on me than my parents. Worst thing that'll happen to my parents is the embarrassment of their daughter having teenage pregnancy, whereas I have to deal with huge life-changing consequences of being pregnant at 16.

There is no middle ground here. Is the sleepover with a best friend and you've know the family for 4 years? Or a new kid? You take precautions, like teaching them bodily autonomy and how to say no, then you meet the family. Sleepovers were some of the best experiences of my life. Do you want your child's first time away overnight to be at college? And have her fail that big experience because she has no gradual experience in handling issues on her own? This is one of the ways kids learn to be independent.

Needs more context.

I had to many run-ins with older brothers at sleep overs. I still let my kids have sleep overs but I had to know the family very well. They had a lot of sleepovers when they were little-we hosted many of them. But as they got older, it just wasn't a thing. Their circle of friends didn't seem to do that. They'd hang out late, but then go home. My kids were the same. They'd hang out at a friends and even if invited, would just head home when it got late.

I am still curious why she was looking 3 years into the future.

Cuz the mom is bat s**t crazy 🤣

I wish I had the nerve to stand up to my parents like this at 20.

Parents like this make me realize I am totally rocking the whole "mom" thing!

This is the way to have your children refuse to share calendars or anything else about their lives.

WOW

Something tells me that if there's an active shooter on campus, they'll let the students reschedule their exam.

Appalling that such a conversation even occurs.

"Just walk super fast"

That's not helicopter parenting, heck thats not even parenting

She finally got the memo, that you want to be on your own... jeez

If she's capable of saying those words to her own child then she can't have been much of a mother to begin with.

she did you a favor. block her completely then watch her really freak out in less than 48 hours. Keep her blocked

Omg

Yea what a lame a*s mother. She went from I want to know your every move to eff off really fast.

Here’s a father who will die alone and unmourned.

Who's the parent in this situation, because he is acting like a pouty child.

Time to cut contact with this man. At least until he's realized this behaviour isn't acceptable.

Dad sounds like a call centre.

What a d**k.

Good on the kid here!!! More kids need to do this.

So many of these parents are projecting unregulated anxiety. I’m glad one of these kids saw it, named it, and set a firm boundary.

A parent being concerned about where their child is living isn't helicopter parenting. I mean the first message is a bit much, but the rest from the kid is out of line and talking about going NC over living situation advice and "negativity" is a bit unhinged.
