@akapiratequeen - a parent adding stress to the process…I’ve never heard of that! None of us have to be perfect. It’s OK to lose it on occasion. Your kid will survive.

@lkbux64 - you shouldn’t “rescue your son” (although I don’t think that is what you were trying to do). However I give any parent permission to “rescue their bank account”. NO ONE (even precious scooter) gets between me and my bank acct. If my kid screwed up and it was going to cost me big bucks, I get to make a phone call. Not to rescue her but to stop the bleeding from my acct. I called one school when the pre-screen results where getting so close to the audition date with a flight, it hurt. I couldn’t wait another 500 bucks. That was bx me and the school…and if that damaged scooter, she was just going to have to get over it. Also my H is Japanese, where being a helicopter parent is the ultimate! They all seem to survive…but when I talk with my sister-in-law, I do cringe…but my niece and nephew are certainly well-adjusted, fully employed adults right now…despite my sister-in-laws endless meddling (my opinion there). Considering she and her H had an “arranged marriage” (and that’s socially acceptable), what do you expect. One culture’s meddling is another culture’s love.
