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.

definitely
I used to use my mother like a weapon too. It's brilliant once you've grown up enough to realise that if you target it properly, far from embarrassing you, she can get you what you want.

For example, in highschool I got out of a rather large fine from a bus company simply by agreeing to let the supervisor call my mother. He just hung up and said "uh.. I think you'll be in enough trouble.. just don't do it again" and looked a little worried for my safety. When I got home she just said "Why did you give him your real name?!" :)
