This is a question Helicopter Parents

Back when young ScaryDuck worked in the Dole office rather than simply queuing in it, he had to deal with a claimant brought in by his mum. She did all the talking. He was 40 years old.

Have you had to deal with over-protective parents? Get your Dad to tell us all about it.

i've been an avid QOTW participant for almost 5 years now
indeed some of you may well have been exposed to my inane drivel, in fact there are very few questions i dont respond to with enthusiasm

but what i have noted is this; if by saturday evening we are still only 5 - 7 pages of answers...

it's a really poor question

Meh
It's not an outstanding one, but it's nowhere near as bad as it got during the Month of Doom (tm). It'll do, certainly.

can you imagine what would happen
if we removed all the awful puns, and all the stories whose only relevance to the topic is containing the word "parent"?

It's not the quantity of posts that matter sometimes..
It's the quality.

I rather read a couple of pages containing really good, humourous and sometimes educational material anyday, than page upon page of crap drivel, or them stupid posts that just have 'FIRST!' stuck in them.

That said, maybe a lot of b3tans don't know that many Helicopter Parents, or realise who they are, but might notice some before the QOTW deadline looms..

Well, some of us
Had really awesome, intelligent parents who prepared us for the world in a really balanced way.

Not much to contribute here, y'see.

Still enjoying the stories from others.

Aaaaaaand,
it's not funny, it's boring and miserable. No wonder B3ta is struggling to survive.

Is B3ta struggling to survive then?

Yep
Most Definately. Less than 7 pages of answers on Tuesday afternoon, and the stories that are here are shit. You decide....
