Sorry for being a "helicopter parent". BUT I would be PISSED if anything happened to ANYONE in my Family that they had to go to the emergency room and no one called me.
I have slept in chairs in the hospital when a family member is there for their SUPPORT...


As For “Here in the States, there is an increasing number of parents who feel as if they need to constantly be involved in every aspect of their kids' lives. They are referred to as "helicopter parents,"

IF more parents were involved with their kids there wouldn’t bad a Drug / gang problem


If more parents were involved with their kids there would not be as bad of a gang/drug problem. I don’t know how many of my son’s baseball games I have gone to and 5 parents show up…
A lot of parents nowadays think that the world is their baby sitters... Ask YOYO how many Parents come to back to school night? I think I heard you say something about coaching….. How many parents have you seen?

I am not saying YOU are this way Mark but that statement just hit me sooo wrong.
But to blow off parents that take interest in every aspect of their kid’s lives is not right.
