Sure Signs You're A Helicopter Mom

One thing I have learned in my eighteen years as a parent is you never want to hear you’re a “Helicopter Mom”. I heard this term for the first time a few days ago and instantly thought to myself, “OMG, am I one of those moms who hovers around her kids all the time?”

So I set off to find examples and was fortunate to have found the flight journal of a well known Helicopter Mom.

My understanding is this mom’s helicopter hovered too long and crash-landed. Her children never learned how to do anything on their own so they never conducted a search and rescue mission.
