My friends mum is a helicoptor mum.
She once refused to let him cross the road to his house to get his phone if she couldnt supervise him. He was 14 at the time.
He cant do anything on his own. She decides where he goes for his hirthday. She decides what games he plays. She decides what phone he gets. She decides what he gets for christmas.
Its fucking insane and its so annoying because shes practically stolen his youth and freedom. Theo, if you see this, which I doubt you will because your mom probably has restricted mode on all your devices, hope you are doing okay.
Games as in... kiddy games like fake Mario kart clones or weird educational junk?
You need to get a phycologist involved. That's emotional abuse on a threatening level. That kid has a high chance of suicide.
Call the police? That might need to happen.
@@grkb Pretty much. His mom says violent games cause violent children, so hes only allowed Halo because its aliens.
@@ollie9171 Wait so a game about galactic level genocide and gore isn't as bad as COD and GTA? Haha, that mom is an idiot as well as insane.
1:53 enrolles child in combat sport then complains about said combat. Really?
Take them out if it's to dangerous and enroll them in ballet or something safer.
Georgie A Do you know how physically intensive ballet is?
@@skootergirl22 not the point of my comment. They knew going into the enrollment process that fighting would be a part of the sport. If so then why enroll them to begin with?
Eh dumber things have happened like the time this scrawny little dumbass maybe 5’2 and barely 100 pounds decided to pick a fight with probably one of the largest guys in our school he’s like 6’6 or taller and like 300 pounds in front of a whole bunch of students you can imagine what happened next day the scrawny kids mom comes in screaming about how he’s going to “get this ape expelled” and “ruin his life” yeah basically everyone who saw what happened went to the principal and told him what happened
@@glasstumble1677 I would assume the thought process be something like this
"I want him to learn how to hit others, but him getting hit is unacceptable"
I keep commenting about this, but people just won't listen: We've got to stop letting helicopters have kids, they just don't make good parents
They can't be helicopters if they don't have kids.

He shot my dog and slit my cats throat. He also makes fun of my brother for being autistic. My baby brother is 3. THREE.

"He has problems with girls taking advantage of him."
You don't say.
Can’t imagine why
I think the girl who take advantage of him is his mother
I'm the opposite. Boy's try to take advantage of me. One of them tried to forcefully kiss me in class, then the others want to beat up people I hate for me.
They say violence is always the answer.. *News flash!* it's not.

My sister and her son - "he's going to be my Little Lord Fauntleroy". He never stepped outside unless she was with him. But when she didn't want to deal with him she'd lock him in a closet. He was on ADHD meds because he "bothered" her. Fast forward to adulthoood -- She got him a job, got him a condo, vetted his friends, kept a key so she could walk in on him any time of the day or night. He finally had enough, took the key away and told her to call before she came over, got a different job on his own merits, stopped taking the unneeded meds, etc. She was so depressed about it that she got him a kitten "to save his soul". She had been telling him that people didn't like him and didn't want to hang out with him (THAT was an interesting conversation with him). And yes she has always been that controlling about everything, not just her son; he was the only one who had no defenses against it. He's 30 now and seems to be doing okay most of the time, thank goodness.
That's so disturbing. Doesn't she have a life of her own?
onespiceybbw wait was it a stimulant or a non stimulant, cus if it was a stimulant JESUS CRIST LADY STIMULANTS CAN CAUSE ADDICTION ESPECIALLY IN THOSE WITHOUT ADHD! Seriously as someone with ADHD this infuriates me
I don't know her yet I hate her so much, I really hope he's doing alright.
I have adhd and for years my mother forced me to take medicine for it, for the first few years it helped but over time they made me depressed, sleepless and i wasn't eating, no matter what i told my mum she wouldn't listen and even told the doctor to change my prescription, until i stopped taking them and told her to get fucked, when i did the teachers and i noticed an immediate improvement on my health and just in general mentality and i was even working harder and concentrating better, when i told her i was losing sleep because of the pills she said she didn't care, my education is more important, here's the thing she's a certified first aider so yeah that's my mum, she isn't like that anymore after i had a go at her for it so things are better but she still tries shit occasionally
Oh god, this is my mother.
One of my brother’s has a learning disability, I can’t tell you what it is because my mom straight up refused to tell anyone, even her family about what exactly he has. She just says he “needs a little extra help in school” is all, even though I’m pretty certain he has a form of autism. Anyways my mom would coddle the hell out of him- never lets him do anything for himself. Never lets him think for himself, always deciding what is best for him and catering to his every need. She even does his own homework just so he doesn’t get frustrated and gets to spend his entire day watching TV. The worst part about it though, is that my mom receives government aid every month to cover any expenses for my brother- like after school programs, tutoring, medication, therapy, etc. But not once in my brothers life was that money ever used on him. My mom had every opportunity to try and improve my brother’s mental health- or challenge him intellectually but chose to be a helicopter parent. By brother would not be so stunted in his growth, and struggling so much in life today if my mom actually gave a shit about his future. Today, he’s 19, still living with his mom, and she is still withholding all his money every month and he can’t do anything about it because he doesn’t have the mental capability to read or understand the whole situation. This sucks so much, and I wish I could help him but I’m not in speaking terms with my family anymore, so I could only give advice via voice chat. This is just an unfortunate case of a helicopter parent who literally, destroyed their child’s life when it could have been just as easy to improve it
Munchausen's by Proxy???
Well this is a crime, if I'm correct
Sorry for your brother
@@shanegrele my mom would have to fabricate a fake illness on my brother in order for that to be true, which isn't. Everything else is the same though
There is a good light in all of this, my sister snuck into my mom's house one day and helped my brother move out. He's an adult so technically mom can't do anything about it, but she WILL make a scene. I'm unsure if my brother received the govt. aid though
Definitely autism since what you said is where we have have some problems in
Source: I’m on the spectrum
I am a 16 year old girl graduating in May 2020
•I can’t choose my own college
•I can’t eat certain foods
•I’m forced to take diet pills for being too fat
•Not allowed to get any part time jobs
•My friends have to be a Christian,female, and a certain race
•I can’t use money without telling them even if it’s my own
•I have a credit card but they basically use it for their own benefits
•I’m downright terrified of talking to people because I wasn’t allowed to talk to people in my school up until now
• When I was young I wasn’t allowed to have any friends
•I’m only allowed to watch Christian approved things so things like beauty channels, animators , or anything ‘sinful’ isn’t allowed
•I have depression (no I’m not faking it actually had to go to a doctor and they did a mental evaluation) and when my mom found out she said “You’re such a faker all you want is attention don’t you!”
So yeah that all there is just felt like putting this out there for some reason just wanted to vent a little
You have to get out of there.
I had a friend in a similar situation but she applied for a college against her parents wishes while she was at school. She got in and didn’t tell them, applied for scholarships and basically got a full ride. She then packed up and got a friend to drive her to her dorm. Her parents were furious but nothing they could do. She got a part time job after class and saved up to fully move out or stay else where for holidays. I hope that gives you, well, Hope. Or try to get emancipated or involve the law
quik sprint out of your home
Move to a friend’s house. Get a new credit card. Run away from them. If the police are after you, tell them that you have abusive parents. Or wait till you’re 18, get an apartment, and sever all types of contact with them. Don’t let them tell you what to do anymore. It’s your life.
Hm no school for you! Said Covid-19
Imagine being a grown man and ur mom is just watching you the entire day
FaZe_MommA I’d feel like dying
It's not awkward if she's your wife
Don't remind me
@Bunker Sieben
*sweet home alabama*
FaZe_MommA i made this 290
My mom superglued my LEGO sets together. The original LEGO tie fighter. Like the first one. All my other sets were broken and long gone, but I have to admit that tie fighter is still together not missing a single piece.
Link i did that myself as a kid for a few sets, I remember I took apart my Naboo star fighter to paint the grey pieces Crome then put it all back together, the paint acted as glue so I didn’t even have to glue most of it, and definitely did that with older megabloks sets
I remember doing that to a few smaller sets because I was annoyed they kept kind of falling apart when playing with them lol
That's actually very expensive soOo uH you better be glad you didn't lose it but sucks that you can't play with it.
😅😅as a mama I don’t blame her ! Those sets are expensive ,and have you ever stepped barefoot on those weapons of the devil?! Lol lol
I have to say though, I’ve not super glued any of my kids Legos my son DID glue his Death Star though 🧐
Release the Kragle!
In the case of the mother who keeps switching out phones what the daughter should do is log into the mother's phone and text insulting things to the mothers boss
HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA
Or text the exact same things in the video to him/her. See how well that works out. Bonus points if the boss is taken
Calm good idea
LOL! 👍🏻😉
My mom's logic: dont just sit on the computer all day
Also she: no you can't go outside
the hell? that makes no sense!
Oh man :(
Perhaps you can have a tablet to "read" when you're really just using it for internet and games
@@rosenrot234 I do have one but she isnt that dumb
Same
my mom wasn't a helicopter parent but that one story reminds of when we were at Yosemite and got separated near the visitor center and was calling for me. Some lady asked her how old her child was and she said 22 and the lady walked away.
😂😂😂
This kills me because my mum is not a helicopter parent either but I could see her doing this!
RainbowHanryu
It’s sweet that your mom was worried about where you were
But the other lady’s reaction is hilarious. XD
I need extra help, and my mom has anxiety, so this sounds like way too familiar.
To be fair, being separated in an unfamiliar location far from home is a legitimate concern no matter how old you are.
And to be fair again, I would probably be the one yelling for my mom first.
But this is still great and a story I would tell you anyone who would listen.
Jesus 10:25 to 11:34 is straight up psycho. Please tell those people are in jail for abuse.
What if they weren't her family , but killed her family and just wanted to kill her too , but they didn't want to kill her as a child?
@@patrikplayz670 what the hell
@@TheMisterDarknight plot twists lmaoo
When I was like eleven my parents let me pick out a gift for my friend's birthday and it was one of those electronic diaries. When I gave it to her at the party, her parents immediately confiscated it in front of me because "no secrets are allowed in this house." With how grimly she stared at me and creepily she said that, I suddenly felt like I was in a horror movie
What a madlad
Entering a tenants house without notice is illegal.
That one where the parents locked them in their old room after moving out
*shiver*
That truly concerns me about their well being if they ever get near them.
They're not parents, they're stalkers and kidnappers.
that's horror movie content if I have ever seen it
I feel beyond lucky that my childhood and teenage years were filled with pure freedom. I could pretty much go anywhere and do anything so long as I let my dad know where I was going. Naturally I used this freedom to stay in my room all day every day, but I'm still lucky that I was allowed to do it by choice.
Things changed over time, some parents are arrested for letting kids go outside unsupervised : th-cam.com/video/snpAx0bK67I/w-d-xo.html
you must grow up in the 80s and 90s were free range parenting was called parenting or either you are living in an european country like Germany,
@@Charles-hy6gp Nope. Grew up in the early 2000's in Los Angeles, California. And it really wasn't free range parenting, they just trusted me to go outside or with friends.
I had this friend whose mom made her tell her EVERYTHING. She didn't seem to see what was wrong with it. Like I was eating dinner with her family and her mom just causally started talking about super personal stuff I told my friend and when I asked her where she heard that she just pointed to my friend and told me that it was her.
Then this one time I was texting my friend for a while and I said some things I didn't really want her mom to hear. Then a few minutes later I asked about an assignment at school and she texted me saying that it was my friend's mom and that she stole her daughter's phone. So I was like, "Was it you this entire time and you didn't tell me?" And she just responded saying that she already knew everything about what I was talking about.
That's fcked up, I hate parents like that. You shouldn't make children do that, that's just controlling and a power move
I'm pretty sure that's invasion of privacy since you're not her own child.
I actually lost a friend because my mother read our messages, and he told me some pretty private stuff. He did his best to help me before he snapped tho bc he talked to his therapist about me once and she told him it sounded like my mother was abusive (she was).
“He has problems with girls taking advantage of him”
Wouldn’t that be your fault? 🤔
The girl taking advantage of him is his mom lol
I have a friend who has a helicopter mom.
She is a helicopter pilot.

I'm running in four months when I turn 18, my sister has offered I move in with her and I will.
CoffeeNCream 15 good luck dude, make sure they don't have inherent knowledge of anything.
@@coffeencream1552 I strongly recommend cutting off all contact with them, and move as far away as you possibly can afford, so when they call the cops, they aren't likely to find you.
Update, I'm packing up and throwing my belongings out the window, then hiding them in our shed/barn (my sister then picks them up and takes them to her storage unit). Just to clarify it's my mother who is the helicopter parent (she also has had paranoid schizophrenia for the past 5 years) and she tells my father lies or stretches the truth about me to a horrible level. I'm thankful that somewhere in this world people are rooting me on, and I wish the best of life for you people. Best wishes to you all. ❤️
@@coffeencream1552 How are you now?
5:18 my father had about 400 people working for him and he did job interviews too
When someone would bring along a parent for an interview, he didn't even bother to listen and just sent them back lmao
Yeah ... don't bring ur parents, ur not a child anymore
We had a young Thai teenager (16 years old) that brought his stepdad as an interpreter for his interview, he had been in the country for less than 20 days and wanted an apprenticeship, he swore he could learn the language in 3 months. Our production manager said it was a bet and if he could not communicate properly in 3 months he would be out on his ass. After 3 years he is foreman on one of our production lines and he mainly communicates in swear words. Guess that is what happens when 20 oldtimer blacksmiths are your language teachers. Also he is one of the hardest workers i have ever meet.
@@erikrungemadsen2081 damn this took an unexpected turn
@@erikrungemadsen2081 that's amazing! So devoted!
@@NoName-lw1jn I talked to him about it in the weekend durring the company X-mas party. And he told me that he was just desperate to get out of the house.. Apparantly his mom and stepdad where acting like love struck horny teens. And the apprenticeship pay was enough for him to get his own place. Also he got three younger siblings in the 3 years after that so there might be something to yhe story.
After homecoming...
My date's parents: How was it? Did you have fun?
My parents: How was it? Did you have fun? What did you do? Where did you go? How many people were there? Did you see anyone else you know? Did they have food? What kind of food? How much did the food cost? Did they have water there? Was it hot there? Did you unbutton your suit? Did they ask for IDs? Did you dance? Did you hold hands with her? Did you hug her? Did you kiss her? What songs did they play? Did anything go wrong? (There's probably more that I can't think of right now)
Me: Can you please not ask so many questions?
My parents: DON'T TALK BACK TO US SMARTA**!
please, you had a date. no reason to complain about helicopter parents. my parents read my phone and then outed me. and i’m single forever now.
@@imawakemymindisalive13 dang that must suck
my friends parents are so uber controlling/religious that they've taken her phone away for watching GoT (she's almost 18), they don't let her stay out past 9pm any day of the week, she cannot be at someone's house unless a parent is present, and she is ridiculed for breaking up with a manipulative ex. She's so hardwired to obey their commands that she's used to asking permission before going home (not for her protection from them, just because she's so scared of disobeying them)
Jesus
h markee what is GoT? Sorry I was raised in the middle of nowhere
GoT is Game of Thrones
That's just straight up psychological abuse
@@cleanwiddit got is game of thrones, it’s a show based off the books A Song of Ice and Fire (the books are 10x better). It’s a medical/fantasy story with a lot of politics and violence, and some sexual stuff as well. It’s a very confusing, but very good series
I had one of these poor kids under me shortly after I became a supervisor at an NHL venue. His mom would call him at least once every half hour all through his shift, if he did not answer she would continue to call and the tongue-lashing he received would get longer and longer dependant on how many times she had to ring him. So here's this poor scared 14 year old whipping out his cell phone where everyone can see him in the middle of the rush between periods.
This lasted about two weeks worth of events before I lost my sh*t and demanded his phone. He actually looked relieved to give it to me. The next time she calls, she gets me, and asks where her son is.
I passive-aggressively tell her that I've had to confiscate his phone because he's constantly answering it in the middle of work when he's not even supposed to have it on his person on shift, he can't let it go to voicemail because this person continues to call, and his work comes to a screeching halt while he responds. I tell her that technically I should have reported her son for breaking work policy repeatedly, and if she wants to make sure he's doing a good job at his work, she should stop pulling him away from it.
She sputters a bit about having to watch over her precious son, and I tell her that if she rings in again and pulls him away from his work, I'm going to suggest that he be fired because he can't be trusted to focus on his job with his mommy in his ear. (During this, I am gesturing to the kid that I am definitely not going to do this, I'm just calling mom's bluff). Then I end the conversation.
I hold onto his phone for the rest of the shift, and I sh*t you not, she tries to call one more time with her usual perfect timing, while her kid is elbow deep in the dishes.
I answer. "This is (kid's name)'s phone, if you want your child fired, please speak now."
*Click*, and to my knowledge, she never tried this again. The kid told me his mom apologized up and down that night.
... he still had to call her when he arrived at work, and as he was leaving, but that I can understand.
OMG. What an inspired solution. Thumbs up, BP!
@@josepherhardt164 I was scared shitless my ploy was going to get me or the kid in trouble. I'm thankful I gambled and won.
ive gravely misunderstood the meaning of "helicopter parent"
my mom: *disappointed helicopter noises*
Is your mom a literal helicopter or something lol
People describe dictator parents as helicopter parents when in reality, helicopters are support roles.
I honestly can't with my friend's mom. She had 4 kids, 2 of them are adults and the other two are teens. The only boy (who is the oldest) doesn't do any work or go to college. He just sits at home all day and plays videogames while she just lets him. Meanwhile she's pimping out her daughters to modelling and dance for money. She lives in a city that has no jobs available to her. For years she's been moving her kids from place to place because she can't afford the rent or pay any bills, often making them go days without water or electricity. They can't go anywhere without their mom around, only one of them knows how to drive (just barely though, and not legally), and most of the time things like their weight, figure, overall appearance is heavily monitored and scrutinized by the mom so they can still hold those modelling and dance contracts. The second youngest is heavier than her sisters and she's constantly teased about it and her mother is on her ass all the time about it. The mother also makes the girl dress and look similar for the modelling and dance. On top of all that, their mormon, so that adds a whole other level of strictness and helicopter parenting.
I'm just terrified about what may happen to them if the mom passes away suddenly. I have a feeling the girls will only find value in their appearance and continue with modelling and dance until those chances are sucked dry, and they will become strippers or prostitutes as a result, carrying their bum of a brother around in the process. They've been so sheltered that I believe if they ever had to go out and experince the real world it would break them. I worry about their survival now and after their mom is gone.
The worst I've seen was back in primary school, a friend of mine's parents pretty much wouldn't let her or her siblings leave the house unless it was for school. I could visit her house all the time but they never let her visit anyone else's houses.
That's the story of my life
And stealing if they take your phone and you’re the one paying for it.
Well, if you're under 18 they CAN limit your use, especially if they're paying the phone bill. But straight up TAKING it from you permanently for their own use is just wrong.
If you're paying for it then no they cannot take your belongings
Unfortunately, it's perfectly legal for a parent to take their children's belongings regardless of who paid for them.
@Crime Entity: That cost would outweigh the benefit. It's unfortunate, but sometimes you need to buckle down for a while and be ready to jump out at 18.
Parents requesting schedule changes because "they're paying tuition"? I've heard of a business school where the students could form groups and negotiate with the staff where they would like to have this and that lesson, but even so I think there are windows for calibrating it, and then it is set in stone. Otherwise how in the world are the school and the teachers going to plan ahead?
I laughed so hard when US army ad had a helicopter for first 1-4 seconds on this video
Lmao
My grandfather once busted in on my job interview, waving his arms and screaming "where is she?" I was in the bathroom, and I'd just gotten the job. I ended up having to quit before my first day after that scene.
Ohh my God, the embarasment would have killed me. I hope you got an apology after.
@@erikrungemadsen2081 no he never apologized. My grandfather is an asshole. We used to be close when I was little, before I learned what a complete dick he was.
@@lovetolovefairytales why did he wanna know where u were
@@supremecrayonmuncher4159 he knew where I was! Heck, I'd say he drove me there, except for the fact that he left me a couple streets away (after making me late) and drove off, and I had to run to the interview! Up-freaking-hill!
9:15 As someone who also works in higher education I have a one word response to this: FERPA.
Family Education Rights and Privacy Act. "No ma'am, it doesn't matter if you are paying the tuition, I cannot speak to you. I am so very sorry but FEDERAL LAW prohibits it, goodbye."
Oh they can try and have the kid get a consent form, but it rarely happens as the school does everything they legally can to discourage it.
oh I'm VERY familiar with FERPA because the guidance counselor brings it up whenever my mom wants to sit in on my appointments ugh
My mom knows basically everyone in my town, so every time I mention a friend she’s all like “what’s their last name? I might know their parents.” She has known nearly everyone of their parents. Though, once I hit 18 she knows she can’t control me lmao
When you hit 18 it will be "as long as you live in my house..." good luck.
once you move out it'll be "as long as I'm paying your tuition..." and after that it'll be "as long as I'm your mother..."
Don't wait "until later..." to demand autonomy. You're a human; You deserve to live your own life, regardless of what your parents think. It's good to teach them early on that they can't micromanage you, otherwise they'll never stop and they'll always make excuses to have control.

Note to all helicopter parents: You are guaranteeing that the happiest moment of your child's life is when they get to legal age, move out of your house and have absolutely no obligation to have any sort of contact with you ever again.
saw this comment on another video, and i agree with it so much
Edit: have a good day you too
I relate to the toilet girl, the only place where you can (sort of) have privacy, depending who you are with.
The thing is, the bathroom turns to be another room for you. So I can't help but expend a lot of time there, with out without phone. Just thinking or something.
I hope she gets aways of her, and lives a peacefull life
My worst helicopter parent was when they started floating
8:43, same, even his bedding ect. But he was a pretty cool independant bloke with a great paying job and flawlessly soaring through his studies. He was well ahead of the rest of us, so we never minded. It seemed mutual and we were teens. Even my mum did similar, bringing meals and groceries over. Once even did our dishes. I guess it was less a helicopter thing and just a motherly thing before we became fully fledged adults. The last of what they could do for their children before everything changes? Now my mum puts all that mothering into my children. Some mums just love being mums in a non toxic way.
@ the over protective college parents who wanna know EVERYTHING: my dad has access to my bank statements, grades, and credit card bills. I let him out of my own free will. Why? Because growing up he trusted me and I never felt like he was invading my privacy. If you don’t trust your kid or think they can survive on their own then that’s your fault because you were supposed to prepare them for the world

And you say I have beef as if its a bad thing. People are allowed to dislike someone based on what one thinks is fair use (not in the legal terms)
🤷🏻♂️ Some people are just tired of seeing the same Disney advertisement for the 40th time this week too, but whatever floats their boat
@@Victoriai-y2m Ah, I mostly use a laptop so I tend to forget that ad blocker is not available to some.
It seemed like you were making a personal stab at this one person in particular, which I suppose would make sense if say this channel used far more ads than others of its kind. I don't know...thinking on it a bit, it feels like I just kind of had a knee-jerk reaction to the comment. My apologies
@@matthewbrooks5470 thank you for apologizing :)
It's okay to get angry sometimes, especially if you interpreted something in a way that most logically fit to yourself, so I understand the confusion, and I do admit I could have been more clear in my intent ☺️
Have a nice day, Matthew!
i use to teach small animal surgery and students were required to wear scrubs daily. if they did not wear them i had to doc them points for that day due to the fact we were prepping then to have a professional job. i had multiple parents call me to tell me that their child should not have points taken away because they did not have time to do their laundry...... your "child" is in their 20's..... if you are responsible for their laundry then they should not be performing surgery.
My mum is a year two teacher. She once had a kid come in crying claiming “so and so told me my mums a h*e”
My mum told me about this asking what a h*e is
I was friends with this kid in secondary school and his mum insisted that she drive him and all his siblings home everyday, which fair enough they lived kinda far away and the bus cost money, however once we were going to my friends house for her birthday and she wouldn't let him walk down with us, my friends lived 10 minutes walk away from school and lived the opposite way his mum would be going to take his siblings home, she said she'd drive him down to meet us, he arrived 1 hour later cause his mum didn't want him to change at my friends house and instead drove him all the way home made him change out of his uniform and then drive him down to my friends house, stuff like this happened all the time and we went to college we lost contact cause his mum wouldn't let him out if she wasn't there except for to go to college
one day in school we didn't have math homework , but my friend's mom called my mom saying she didn't believe her child and she just wanted to check to make sure he wasn't trying to get out of doing math, but this kid was a straight A student and I think its stupid that parents do this crap.
I substitute classes and most of the time teachers don’t leave me homework to hand out and some of the kids were up in arms that their parents wouldn’t believe them if they didn’t have homework 🤦🏽♀️
8:46 No. I don't want strangers handling my laundry, or anything else TYVM.
When I was near high school ish (after my parents divorced) I was in my moms custody at the time and I wasn’t very social.
I had a good friend though, who realized he was gay, and since he didn’t like me that way, I kept being his friend. My mom, being the homophobic she is, decided I couldn’t hangout with him, and I was really sad, and had no more friends, and became depressed
Thanks mom
Although, the thumbnail. I don't think leashing a toddler is a sign of helicopter parenting. I was a leash baby. My parents were not helicopter parents. I was just a toddler that ran up to every adult and tried to talk to them and be their friend, so, I was constantly running from my parents side. I think it is smart. Your child gets to walk with you without the fear of your child running off or getting nabbed without your knowledge.
It is also good for the back of an adult and the arms of the kid. Think, every day when they learn to walk stooping over to one side to hold their hand, and sprinting after them to grab them from a bad fall, or they got away and are about 3 seconds from danger, like walking in front of a trolley.
My baby brother is autistic. We leash him. He tries to run away because he doesn't understand danger or verbal cues/commands. His autism is pretty severe.
My auntie uses a leash for my neice when she was four. She just liked to zoom off when she has a chance.When on the leash, She'll try to drag you
My grandparents tried to leash me because I would just take off running and destroying things. However, I would trow massive tantrums on the leash or when carried. They say that they are so greatful that I never got hit by a car or anything when I was young and they had to bring me out in public spaces.

I cannot imagine being or having helicopter parents. I grew up in the 80's and we had parents that were too busy working and let us be alone. Not to say there weren't helicopter parents, they were a rarity. I wonder if my generation became helopsychos because if our absentee parents.
My friend had a full scholarship almost all the way across the country. By this I mean tuition, room and board, and 3 meals a day for 4 years. Her parents wanted her to stay (and she was 17 turning 18 near the end of her first college semester) they told her they’d pay what her scholarship at a nearby college didn’t cover because she’d be staying home like they wanted. She stayed home and got stuck with the bill. I hate her mother. How could you ruin a full scholarship out of selfishness? Not to mention her mom would call the police to “bring her child home” nearly until her 19th birthday. The cops had to notify her multiple times they cannot bring a legal adult home. My friend is still miserable to this day and she’s a gift to this world it makes me so sad.
I had the walkie talkie scenario as a kid too, and it was the "where are you?" And "dinner's ready, come home." Kinda of usages. Not helicopter parenting.
Me: hears the story about ice hockey parents.
Also Me: “Way to go Paul!”
Underrated comment! 🤣🤣🤣
When you realise you have helicopter parents
Helicopter parents: I love my precious angel baby and I always protect them
Them "protecting" their child: * isolating them and being extremely nosy and rude about personal life *
Folks, ya gotta cut that cord or little Johnny will be livin with you in your retirement years!
I wasn't sure what "helicopter parents" had meant.
Then I saw the first one and immediately flashed back to previous... "Encounters"
Now

The pasta one is not a normal thing, is a psicopathic mother thing
The story about the parents who supervised there kids while building legos to ensure that they are assembled correctly, ARE. ABSOLUTELY. NUTS.
When I was about seven, my parents had finally finalized the divorce and my mom had moved into a small apartment complex. We were on the other side of the wall from this boy I went to school with. He had a huge crush on me and I didn't like him so it was super weird. His mom would bang and punch and hit the wall every time she heard us make a noise and the walls were paper thin so we couldn't even talk. She despised us for talking (like wth) because it was annoying her but she was as loud as a freight train. She was always getting us in trouble the cops, telling him and my neighbors lies about my mom and my siblings so everyone hated us for no reason. She did it so many times the cop didn't even care anymore. Her brother also sexually assaulted me and a few other girls in my class that lived in the complex when he came to visit. So yeah, a million other things happened between her and us, but she hated us so much that she got rid of all her piercings and covered her tatoos and then became an assistant teacher in my home room to keep an eye on me and me twin and to be around her son. We changed classes for the year and then moved the next year at the end of the school year. I can't even tell you all the stuff she's done, that's just a fraction of it. Part of the reason we moved is because we already couldn't stand her but she did something awful and hurtful and just plain, well, awful and that was the end of the rope. We managed to move out of that apartment in a week, happy our one year lease was finally over. We moved a few towns over and her and her son are still brats
My mom is kinda a helicopter parent. I get hurt she’s like, “you’re fine, c’mon get up” (if its not obviously serious), but god forbid she seems somebody being rude to me.... oh dear lord, R.I.P those kids souls and self esteems 😂. My dad will watch someone be rude to me and be like “beat em up” and they scatter, because i am willing to fight someone. Usually doesn’t end up good for me or the person I fight, but at least i defend myself
No that's normal.
I’ve got parents also who want to do the whole intake for the 19, 20 and 21-year-old who supposedly wants a job. Just last week I had a mother speak for her child who is 20 about wanting to find work. They both came to the office and it was very clear that the girl isn’t really sure of what she wants to do work, school. Mom spoke the whole time and they were off to another agency that works alongside mine for some things after our appointment. Don’t know what to do with that.
If I was in a position to interview and hire someone, and they walked in with Mom, the interview would be over. I'm only hiring one person, and it won't be mom, so if they come as a set, don't waste my time.
My husband is constantly asking me why I watch videos of helicopter parents stories and today I finally answered him while watching this. “This is a sort of guideline of what NOT to do when we have kids. I’m not going to suffocate my children like my mom suffocated me!”
When my son was born he had hearing problems so I signed him up for a sign language class. We had him retested and it came out that he wasn't deaf. But I'm keeping him in the classes so he can communicate with people effectively who can't hear well or at all.
I also blame working a retail job for a lot of shit. Even years after I’ll absentmindedly straiten the products on a shelf till I correct myself. I know what behaviors are suspicious and can avoid people I think might be a threat. I know the tricks that are use to make sale look more enticing, like bogo 50% off instead of 30% off each.
I've never even worked retail and I still start organizing shelves 😂😂 I just think y'know if I see it and I'm right here, why wouldn't I? It's not my job but it's not like it's sooooo much more effort it's just straightening cans or something
"I'll always be there to protect him" .....is the first mom not aware she's gonna die before the kid does so no she WONT be there to protect him all the time?
I remember when I was in middle school and I wrote in my friends notebook "yo mom knows you smoke?" as an innocent prank (she didn't smoke it was a popular phrase back then in our country). She nearly got a panic attack. I immediately apologised and explained I didn't think it will upset her that much. She explained that it didn't upset her, she was scared because her parents check her notebooks every day. We had a conversation, turned out her parents checks every single folder on her phone and computer, they read all her notes in every notebook, no privacy whatsoever. And to add to that they also banned her from doing makeup (not even concealer, nada) and even shaving her legs until she was 18. They never let her grow up
I mean my dad drove me to my university interview, because it was 45 mins away and I can't drive yet. But he waited around until I finished my interview he didnt go in with me.
Ok just to clarify:
Psychopathy is a lack of empathy/remorse and unusual behavior. It just annoys me that people aren't using this correctly when trying to make a point
I thought leashes were weird until I babysat toddlers.
I’ve dealt with a kid who had a mom that thought he was a perfect angel and he could never do anyone wrong so, this kid got away with a lot at school and daycare.
He would pick on everyone including little kids. A lot of people hated this kid (no surprise there) but they couldn’t do anything about him because the teachers saw it as “playing”. He would pick on me a lot as well as my 2 brothers and it would piss me off.
So one day I was minding my own business when he comes around and starts calling me a retard and saying how ugly I looked. So I told him to leave me alone but he continues to stick around and starts talking shit about my brothers. I got up and scratched his arm and walked away. I got in trouble by one of the teachers and they showed me his bleeding arm.
His mom picked him up and I got suspended. Then my mom comes to pick us up and the teachers explain what happened. My mom wasn’t upset. A lot of parents had trouble with the kid’s mom.
This all happened when I was in third grade.
My mom still answers questions for me when people look me in the eye and ask them to me specifically. She'll interrupt me while I'm answering them to speak for me and say something completely different, and it infuriates me. She's the type of mom to brag about me and my brother and say things that make us sound like the most successful kids of our age. She also make us sound like the brattiest, self absorbed kids i've ever seen or heard. I don't know what she's trying to accomplish by doing this.
*Child Protective Servicrs has entered the chat*
I knew a lady who enrolled in college at the same time as her 2 youngest (of 8). But it wasn't to be a helicopter parent. It was because she had gotten married at 18, and finally got a chance to go when her kids were grown. All 3 graduated at the same time.
Congrats to all of them
Intentionally preventing a deaf child from learning sign is pretty much abuse.
that response to the mum in the Tae Kwon Do dojang, absolutely glorious! I have seen similar situations happen when I was first starting out, and also when I was taking the classes for the night. feels good to put them in their place
7:25 OHHH, that’s where the LEGO movie gets it
Mom : He has a problem with girls taking advantage of him
Me : But that's what you're doing to him so your his problem
A friend of mine lived in a no technology family. She had no way of accessing the internet and had a camera in her room. I remember the dad once asked where something was and I was like “for directions just find the location on google maps” and the father just stared at me with the most confused face I’ve ever seen.
How can the magical duck improve my day if I'm now depressed at how shitty some people's parents are?
Be grateful your parents were never like this. That should help.
@@howardsmith9342 Oh believe me, I'm reminded of that with every video like this
I understand when you have a kid you want to take care of them , I mean they're kinda the world. That being said when a parent basically denies their child a basic childhood, and no I don't mean if they give them a little more rules then other parents but if they truly prevent their kids from growing up an average life (I know each family is different) then that's really a problem.
As a teen my Mom wont let me go into the yard without supervision and monitors every show I watch. If I go into the front yard whether she is watching me or not I get serious punishment and am now afraid to literally go in front of the place I live. She is a sub bus driver and will force me to ride with her on whatever bus she is driving because she "is worried about me". I can't leave her side at the store or I get in serious trouble. She won't let me in the basement of the house for so long (which is obviously me trying to separate myself from her) or I get punished. I am not allowed to talk to anyone in the neighborhood regardless of their age. If I do not spend hours with her every day she thinks I'm being rude and ignoring her. I am scared to use my earbuds around her while watching a video because she will yell at me and then sit beside me looking at the video the whole time. She also has to know my password and go through all of my texts. If I want to add a contact to my phone she has to meet them in person. If I do something against the rules she threatens to call the police or send me to a phyc ward.
Pretty sure helicopter parents aren't actually parents. They live under this delusion that if they create life then they can control that life and turn it into an obedient little robot/soldier/servant because "I'm the parent! They HAVE to do what I want! They HAVE to do what I say! I HAVE ALL THE POWER!"
Bruh I be watching this while I party and my folks dont know where I am half the time
Notice how all of these are mothers...
WacManZ06 and most of them are helicoptering their sons - it’s very rarely daughters
"Hey! Free laundry" me too😭
It's insane that helicopter parenting isn't considered abuse.
damn i wonder when a helicopter pilot will be a good parent
Literally just had a fight with my mom over this shit and then this suddenly shows up in my recommended tab. Stop watching me google.
I'm so thankful that my parents arnt crazy after reading all the r/insaneparents and ask reddit
I actually spoke to a professor about my daughter ONCE- but only to inform him she had a scorching case of Aspergers and to please not be offended if she quit showing up. Assured him it was likely she would fail the class, but would probably still read the book and learn the material at home. Assured him there was no need to worry about her or worry I would freak out if she failed. He was ok with that. She did quit after 2-3 sessions. She did read the book and applied the material as she needed. So it worked out.

Wow, I wrote a novel
When I was in uni, we didn't have dorms. I lived in a very small building with only 3 apartments. So, a couple of years in, a new student moves in one of the other apartments. I'm like 21 at this point. Our landlord wanted us all to cooperate with each other so she rang my bell to introduce us. I really didn't want to but I went. They needed some stuff, like I don't know a broom, or a mop and I lent them mine. He also came to uni without a computer. So he wanted to browse for computers through mine. Fine, whatever.
The problem was his mother. He wanted to "dump" the responsibility on me to be his friend. "But", I argued, "we all have our friend groups." No, he didn't need any new friends, why would he? I met you, so I assume you're good people. He doesn't need more friends.
I also was pretty disturbed by her at some point. I was fighting with my mother over the phone at the same time as a friend was on her way over to my house. I hang up the phone, answer the door and find that bitch leaning toward my door listening in to my argument. FUCK THAT NOISE MAN, I don't need snoopers in my life. After he came over to look for laptops I dropped all communications.
It's kinda pathetic, but I'm kinda glad his father lost his job and he had to drop uni.
