Helicopter Parents
Back when young ScaryDuck worked in the Dole office rather than simply queuing in it, he had to deal with a claimant brought in by his mum. She did all the talking. He was 40 years old.
Have you had to deal with over-protective parents? Get your Dad to tell us all about it.

as a non-parent who found myself at a barbeque with my kidded-up friends the other day
I realised this exact same thing in reverse - I was about to say "He's, like, three and a half, shouldn't he be out of nappies by now?" when I thought that they probably hear that kind of thing from everyone and I'm the last person who should be telling them how to raise their child.
So I got drunk and stoned and ignored the rugrats until it was my turn to push them around the garden in the plastic car and then I went home.

Trying to resist, trying to resist, trying to resist....
But HE SHOULD BE OUT OF NAPPIES AT THREE AND A HALF!!!!
Sorry. I needed to get that out. My other half's nephew is three and a half and still in nappies, primarily because his mother's too lazy to potty-train him - drives me nuts, but I hold my peace. :-)
In general, I'm a big fan of non-interference policies.
