Define Helicopter Parents Meaning

Helicopter Parents
Parents that hover over their children, hawkishly "helping" them face the college learning scenario. It is debated whether or not parents that hover are good or bad for their child's overall development.

Jan: Are Jane's helicopter parents back in town this weekend?
Judy: Do you really have to ask that question? They're ALWAYS in town for the weekend.
Jan: Poor, poor Jane.

Jan and Judy weep for Jane's sad existence.

Helicopter Parent
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."

Helicopter Parent

Helicopter Parent
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.)

Helicopter Parent
The bane of the dean's existence. The parent who hovers and flaps his wings while the kid lives in his shadow. Particularly prevalent at high-priced colleges, where parents feel obliged (or entitled) to intervene on issues down to the candlepower of the lightbulbs.

Yes, helicopter parent, your intentions are good, but that rotor of yours is causing a din.--Felix Carroll, Albany Times Union, January 27, 2005

Helicopter Parent
A parent (typically the mom) that coddles their children by protecting them and acting like a butler. Their children will often times grow up to be the next Karen and man-babies...

Helicopter parents rob their kids of valuable experiences and development by discouraging them from learning life skills (cooking and socializing). So by the time their kids reach adulthood, they’re useless to society because they won’t know how to do basic shit they’ve should’ve learned as they grew up.

College kid: So I made some steak with a side of mash potatoes yesterda-

Ck 2: HOLY SHIT! You can cook your own food!?

Ck 1: Yeah? You don’t?

Ck 2: No, my mommy says it’s too dangerous and says she’ll make me what I want. I’ll call her now since Imm hungry.

Ck 1: And so another victim falls to the hands of the helicopter parent...
