Share some helicopter parents horror stories.

One time, a helicopter parent followed their college - aged kid to campus on the first day. They actually tried to sit in on the class orientation, insisting they needed to make sure their child knew all the details. The poor kid was so embarrassed.

There was a helicopter mom who monitored her daughter's every move on social media. She would comment on every post, embarrass the daughter in front of her friends, and even tried to interfere in her daughter's relationships with classmates. This made the daughter extremely self - conscious and less confident in social interactions.

One horror story is when a helicopter parent followed their college - aged child to campus and tried to attend classes with them, thinking they could help with note - taking. Another is a parent who constantly called their child's boss at their part - time job to complain about the work hours, which embarrassed the child and almost got them fired. And there was a case where a helicopter parent barged into their teen's school dance to make sure they were dancing 'appropriately' which was extremely mortifying for the teen.

One common element is over - interference in academic matters. Like in the case where parents try to do their child's college work.

One horror story is when an ambulance helicopter had a mechanical failure mid - flight while transporting a critically ill patient. The crew panicked for a moment but managed to make an emergency landing in a field. However, the patient's condition deteriorated during the rough landing.

One horror story is when a strict parent locked their teen out of the house for getting a B on a report card. The teen was left outside in the cold all night, feeling scared and abandoned. It was a cruel punishment for not meeting the extremely high academic standards the parent set.

There was an entitled parent who thought their child should always win at sports events. At a little league baseball game, when the umpire made a fair call against their child, the parent stormed onto the field, shouting insults at the umpire and even trying to physically intimidate him. It was really embarrassing for the other kids and parents there.

One horror story is parents getting into huge fights over umpire calls. They would shout and even threaten the umpire, making the game environment extremely hostile for the kids. It completely ruined the fun of the game for the young players.

Well, I heard from a parent that at a certain daycare, there was a case of bullying among the kids that the daycare workers did nothing to stop. The victimized child became very withdrawn. Also, there was a daycare where the ratio of staff to children was way off. There were too many kids for the few workers, so the kids didn't get proper attention and care.

Another story is about a parent who would pack their college - bound child's suitcase for every weekend visit home. They would include things like specific snacks, a particular brand of toothpaste, and even a set of pajamas that the child hadn't worn in years. The child was trying to be independent but the parent just couldn't let go. It was both funny and a bit sad to see how the parent's over - protectiveness was so out of hand.
