30 Times Kids Had Had Enough Of Helicopter Parents And Shared Screenshots Online (New Pics)

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).

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.

Her magic Book is full of all of that along with r@pe, incest, patricide, and a talking serpent.

Oh. My. God.

There is medication for things like this

zero, the days that will be spent at your house.. 🤷‍♂️

I would have replied back, "The "youth rally" is later on back home. 😉"

Jesus christ

It was reported to her??? Jeeeeezus.

whose the car registered under though? if it is you're mom, take the car, go park it in a no parking zone, let the tickets ramp up.

The worse the grammar and spelling the crazier the person?

Time to get your own phone--minus the tracking app.

The word you're looking for is boundaries. Time to put them in place and mean it.

Worst mother of the year contender here. Telling your child (adult or young, it doesn't matter) they're dumb and won't be successful, that's abuse and just disgusting. Hope the kid blocked dear old mom

I will probably get downvoted but do a 11 year old really need a mobile?

idk if the last text has anything to do with the previous messages but good on the friend on being concerned

Disable life360. Set boundaries. Go LC or NC if they're not being respected. Start acting like an adult and don't put up with the bs

Sorry, but get your mail sorted. If you live on your own and are 29, why on earth is your mail still arriving at your parents adress? I probably would accidentally open it, and only realizing after reading half of it that it was not meant for me. Also, from this text alone, I don't see it's as severe as others. Moms question about paying off the debt is a valid one. That she asks where you are after 3 hours can happen, she isn't nagging within a 10 minute timeframe although it is short, especially if the other person is 29 with 2 young children.

Your mother can't handle you crossing the street by yourself? Yikes.

Credit where it's due, the thing about kids going to adult sites to learn about sex is true. If sex education isn't accurate and adequate, then kids are going to try and educate themselves on the subject in a different way. If parents aren't going to teach it, and schools aren't allowed to, then the internet is where it is.

Some context would be helpful here, like the age of the child, and why games and social media was removed.
