Get the hellicopter parent mug.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."
"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..."

"I wish Laura would shut up and stop talking about her daughter - what a helicopter parent."

Get the helicopter parent mug.A parent who hovers over their child, regardless of the child's needs or desires. An over protective parent who does not want their child to face any difficulty without their parent's help.
That kid's mom just went onto the field to check on his injury. All he did was slide into home. Think she's a helicopter parent??

Get the Helicopter parent mug.A generation of parents who have unintentionally, hyper controlled and micromanaged millennials in ways that have diminished millennials ability to cope, self-regulate, and resolve conflicts without assistance or outside intervention. Whatever happened to letting kids be kids?
A Helicopter Parent doesn’t let kids make even small decisions about their day to day lives or create meaningful dialogue about major decisions, goals, or future plans.

Get the Helicopter Parent mug.An individual parent who hovers over their child well into adulthood. Very seldom are there two helicopter parents in one family. One is enough to hover and annoy their thirty or forty year old "child" to the point of extreme exasperation.
He's forty two years old, but his "helicopter parent" mother comes over every day to make certain that absolutely everything in his life is right. (This includes selecting the right food, clothes, furnishings, girlfriends, friends, and job that her darling son has.)

Get the helicopter parent mug.An overbearing parent who treats all who interact with the child as if they will most certainly make a mistake and cause their child harm. As "helicopter parents" hover around the child to ensue the child is guided, the attack helicopter parent obsesses over any who come in contact with the child.
Tim's kid asked if I had candy so I gave him a stick of gum. So Tim starts raisin his voice about the kid's diet. Tim's one'a them attack helicopter parents.
