Are you a Helicopter parent? Take the Collegeboard Quiz.

<p>

</p>

<p>I answered “no” for that one (I already wrote a college admission essay, my own. Once was enough) and for the contacting anyone at the colleges but I was advised to “reevaluate your role.”</p>

<p>My conclusion? They can kiss my Irish arse. We know our kid best and have followed his lead.</p>

<p>My husband is the real problem. He flys helicopters for a living and he’s a parent. Helicopter parent alert!</p>
