[QUOTE="hopeandjoy66, post: 658901, member: 18181"] I work at a University and the helicopter parent is very much present. Prof gets a phone call from a parent and says that she doesn't like the grade Jonny received in Microbiology and then continues to hound the prof. When that doesn't work she phones school administrators eventually gets transferred to even higher ups. Now Jonny's paper is being evaluated again. This is not a one off thing either. Like Insane cdn said, helicopter parents can not accept failure of any sort. Supposedly, this goes on also in job interview scenarios as well. The worst part about this is the child/adult doesn't see anything wrong with this. [/QUOTE]
