Lindsay became a fuckin mollycoddle after a lifetime of her mother turning her into one. Everybody including her father blamed her father for failing, nobody blamed her mother for mollycoddling her, but somebody else was certainly always to blame, and always had to take the pressure off her for everything.

when parents, usually mums, treat teenagers and in extreme cases that they are still a little child. It is very patronising.
Sunny day, clear skies;
Kid: Mum, I'm going out
Mum: I'd rather you didn't, it might rain.
Kid: MUM STOP MOLLYCODDLING ME!
Kid: Mum, I'm going out
Mum: I'd rather you didn't, it might rain.
Kid: MUM STOP MOLLYCODDLING ME!

What parents often do to their kids. When they explain something but leave out important details because they think it's inappropriate, or when they sugar-coat the truth because they think it's inappropriate, or when they flat-out lie about something because they think the truth is inappropriate. A good resource of getting around mollycoddling is Urban Dictionary, because it has almost all of the TRUE definitions of things that parents will often mollycoddle. Or one can Google a question that they've asked their parents to verify that nothing has been mollycoddled in the answer. Of course, many parents know of these resources so they keep their kid off of the internet.
Example 1) Kid: Mommy, how are babies made?
Mother: The stork, which is a magical bird.
Kid: *Google-searches question* *sniff* Mommy lied to me. Waaaaahhhh!!!!
Mother: Crap. My mollycoddle failed.
Example 2) Kid: Mommy, what are my balls used for?
Mother: Their just there.
Kid: *searches "Balls" on Urban Dictionary and Google* *sniff* Mommy lied! Waaaaah!
Mother: YOU'RE NEVER GOING ON THE INTERNET AGAIN!!
Mother: The stork, which is a magical bird.
Kid: *Google-searches question* *sniff* Mommy lied to me. Waaaaahhhh!!!!
Mother: Crap. My mollycoddle failed.
Example 2) Kid: Mommy, what are my balls used for?
Mother: Their just there.
Kid: *searches "Balls" on Urban Dictionary and Google* *sniff* Mommy lied! Waaaaah!
Mother: YOU'RE NEVER GOING ON THE INTERNET AGAIN!!

A 21st century Peg Bundy. A meth addicted whore. Spends her days on the internet ignoring her kids. Has an insatiable hunger for lying and attention. In general, you would never want your kids hanging out at this kids house.

The mother of the mollycoddle blamed the daycare (for negligence) or other kids over the mollycoddle hitting her head on a pipe, and wanted everything shut down over it. What about the kid paying attention to what she was doing, hitting your head on a pipe was a good way to make the rest of us a bit more alert. It's the same kind of softening of society thing as a mother or father getting locked up over a kid getting in a fight at school. Kids are supposed to fight, kids are supposed to hit their head on shit. It's the difference between living to age 2 and living past age 2 without assistance.

The politician had become a mollycoddle after years of people playing up to him/her. No wonder he/she blew his/her brains out all over rotten.com, there was nobody around him/her that would tell him/her what they really thought (as naive as it would be to do so).
