helicopter parent

A parent who is overly involved in the life of their child. Then tend to hover over their every movement and decision. Often times they take control and do tasks on their behalf. They also enjoy broadcasting the details and events of their child's life to anyone who will listen. Helicopter Parents do not ease up with age, in fact as the child grows up the tighter their grasp becomes.
"Are you sure that's a good idea?"
"Where are you going, what are you doing, where is your life going?"
"My child would never do something like that."
"Oh, I just have to tell you what my daughter did..."
"Can I come too?"
"I wish Laura would shut up and stop talking about her daughter - what a helicopter parent."

Deadbeat Parent

A biological parent who has conceived (mother) or sired (father) a child but instead of stepping up to take care of and financially/emotionally support the little love they put themselves ahead of the needs of the child. This person will abandon his/her child at any time for any reason and then tell the world “my baby means the world to me..” This person tends not to have morals or a responsible enough nature to realize how difficult he/she is making life for his/her child and family. They do not understand there is a HUGE difference between being an actual great mother/father, and a biological mother/father. But of course the deadbeat is so self-centered and stuck up, he/she believes they are doing a wonderful job at being an awesome parent and also believe others should parent like them. This type of mother/father doesn’t stop to realize that the unconditional love of a child should come before anything or any one else and that one day the child will be old enough to understand and resent this parent!!!
"A mother whom would rather have her hair, nails and a wax job done than buy diapers, wipes and clothes for her child is a dead beat parent"

"A deadbeat parent would be a father whom supports his new girlfriends bad habits but chooses not to know or support the child he helped create, yet boasts to all that he is a great father"

"A deadbeat parent is one whom would rather party hardy with the state assistance they receive, while leaving there child(ren) with his/hers/there parents, while claiming to the world that they are great parents and miss there children a lot but yet still choose not to step up and be REAL parent(s)!"
