As someone who has helicopter parents and is trakced 24/7, this is accurate. We spend 90% of the time at home because if we dare go outside we better have a good explanation for out parents.
If your child ever utters the phrase "It's too swingy!", whilst on the swings, you have made several terrible mistakes, as a parent.
I'm a product of helicopter parents. Don't recommend.
By 11 years old I was traveling alone up to 15 miles from my home neighborhood on New York City subways, walking through all kinds of neighborhoods, seeing all kinds of people and all kinds of urban situations and felt completely normal. I can't imagine the effect of all this sheltering on kids today.
2 years later and it's getting even more ridiculous. As a parent you have to fear more about some other "Good Samaritan" parent calling the police on you than something actually happening to your kid.
When I was a kid, parents would kick the kids outside for the day and tell them to not come home until dinner. Now, kids aren't allowed to leave home without their parents. Ridiculous.
32 people sprayed Lysol on everything before allowing the kids to see this video.
This aged well.... we have some of the highest anxiety rates in our history
"Crib monitors? Why? What are they gonna do, turn into werewolves in the middle of the night?" lmfao
As someone who comes from this exact situation.... ALL OF THIS!!!
My mom used to tell me as a child, 'Go out and play, and come back when it gets dark.'
Fuck me, when I was a kid I used to ride a bike down a hill in a forest 10 miles away from home, crash it, come back home by foot, fix it and repeat the process. It was really freaking fun! And I always had company, like 3-4 friends. It wasn't so long ago, I'm a pretty young guy. What happened?
Helicopter parenting is not about the children, but about the parents. It is about the parents wanting to look good in the eyes of other parents. Look at me and what I do for my children.
LOL, I had free range parenting, they threw me out the door to play for
My mother used to to kick us out on a summer morning and tell us not to come back until dinner.
When this “free range” parents story came up recently, it made me think back to when I was a kid which was pretty much the hands-off situation more prevalent in the 1960-70s and it prompted me to use Google Maps to plot out the extent of my “range” back in the day between the age of 8 and 12. Turns out it was an area of about 4 miles.
On weekends, after helping with farming chores, our parents basically didn't know where we would go next.. Ten miles away playing soccer, 5 miles away chasing wild rabbits, or 6 miles from home swimming in rivers. Our parents only realized when a child is absent during supper
As someone who has a helicopter parent I say: THANK YOU!!!!!
" I have always detested any departure from reality, an attitude which I relate to my mother's poor mental health. "
