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.

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

WOW

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

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

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

Obviously she couldn't. She tried it four times and failed. Good for you to have this app.... this is really... I am sorry for you.

Granted that this is a bit much. You should check sometimes. It's a crazy world out there.

This isn't helicopter parenting, this is just insane.

says the mom who grew up in a time where having your phone always on you was not an option.

I don't understand why adults allowcthis behaviour. Delete the app, let mum go insane.

I had joint accounts with both my children until they finished college, but only because that made it easier to send them money. They were free to have a second account if they wanted (one did, and the other didn't).

Storytime: Had a joint acct w mom thru college. She insisted I go to Macys and buy my sisters bridal shower gift THAT DAY, IMMEDIATELY, becuase there was a coupon (shower was THREE months away). Problem was, I was at Walmart food shopping then studying for my 2 huge exams the next day, for the rest of the night. That answer was not good enough. She COMPLETELY DRAINED MY BANK ACCOUNT, so when I went to the register my card had no money. I was so embarrassed. Her response? "That's what you f**ling get when you don't listen. Go to Macy's, NOW, put the woman there ON THE PHONE so I know you're there, and buy your sister's damn present, THEN you get your money back." I was 22. The bank CS felt so bad but could do nothing. Got a new acct the next week. They raise you to be co-dependent so that you need them, and they, in turn, can control you. The faster you can become independent the better off you'll be.

In in my 30s and my mom has access to my bank account...but I also have access to hers. It started out as a safety net for when we were travelling by ourselves and something were to happen. Now it's just a convenience thing really (though we never check each other's spending - that would feel like an invasion of privacy)

Lol, I have three accounts. One for savings, one for checking, and one to put money in for my taxes. I didn't get permission from my parents for any of them.

Let your children learn as they grow up, so they don't become idiot adults that can't do anything without Mommy and Daddy, including holding a job and managing a paycheck.

please get your money out of the joint account and get your own. go NC if you have to. you are living on your own; they need to let you.

i technically still have a joint account with my mother but only bc neither of us knows how to remove it and im too lazy to set up another one 😂 she doesnt roast what i buy that much bc she knows im gonna be like "and what about it?"

Transfer money to second account. Description. -Gigilo drug moneyy

I had/have joint accounts with my adult children, solely so I can put money in for them. I never looked at balances or expenses - still their accounts, and they know I respect their privacy.

I get this too. But she never answers my messages

10 minutes of pure drama. :)

The community college should have a rule that people who aren't enrolled there are not allowed on the premises. Just to prevent nutjob parents like that one from ruining their kids' lives anymore than they already have.

Wth?! This is just plain insane, this woman needs some serious help. Poor kid(s) and the father

Two things: 1. What is taking them to church really gonna do? 2. What's this font text I want it

Relgion is the devil. Brainwashing people.

I wish my adult daughter would spend more time with me. but I'm not about to extort her in any way, shape, or form for the privilege. Reading these posts just reminds me how amazing my parents were. I was extraordinarily lucky. And I work hard to make sure my daughter and now grandbabies always know they are loved. It saddens my heart to see how many people didn't/don't have that.

What's the word tho?

Whew, this made my skin crawl. They only want to “support” her so they can control her.

The entitlement these people have to their children’s lives is flabbergasting. It’s like they see their children as extensions of themselves that they should have the right to control.

"Turkey?" Is it 1977?

Fart control, that's a new one🤦🏼‍♀️

Vulgarity is everywhere. You're not going to be able to save your precious baby from the world, so either equip them with the skills to handle it, or have a totally dependent child.

Cuz kids never joke about stuff right crazy 😧

We used to hang out with some of my wife's co-workers. One of them was a 22 year old female. He father would call every 30 min. for an update on where she is and who she is with with. She wasn't permitted to hang out with us any longer after I refused to take her phone and speak with her father for a third time. He would literally make her pass the phone to all that were with her to prove she wasn't lying. Side note...when she was at work he would drive following her and stay in his car until she went home. Guess who got married and severed all ties with her dad once she learned how odd he was.

Ten minutes, TEN minutes. I could have just not had my phone with me while dealing with explosive diarrhea.

She shouldn't have engaged with this at all.
