Mollycoddle

Mollycoddling means to shelter and coddle kids in the same way a molly-cat coddles her kittens.

Just like "Tom" is the name for an intact male cat, "Molly" is the term for a mother cat. If you have ever seen the way a mother cat coddles her kittens, snatching them up by the scruff of the neck whenever there is any hint of danger, then you have seen 'mollycoddling' in action.
1) Hey! You're coddling those kids like a molly! Stop mollycoddling those kids or they will grow up worthless and pathetic!

2) The propensity for modern parents to mollycoddle their children in the 21st Century will inevitably lead to adults in 30 years who do not know how to cope with the real world.

Mollycoddling

Molding a child into a pussy, something many mothers do.
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.

mollycoddling

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!
