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.

Charles Darwin dropped out of university three times and
never graduated (his doctorate was honorary - he had no actual academic qualifications). His father forbade him from going on HMS Beagle, but ended up funding the whole trip. Charles Darwin was in his mid-30s when he signed on with the Beagle.
Still, he eventually turned out okay.
