21 Ways to Tell You Were Raised by Helicopter Parents ...

By Heather

Helicopter parents are those parents that think their kid can do no wrong, that believe that everyone should get a trophy, no matter what. These are parents that want to cling on a little tighter and never, ever let go. If you were raised by these clingy, friends-first, amazingly close parents, you'll relate to some of these gifs!

This is so true it's scary lol

I was so much happier after I moved out. My mom was always asking where I was, what I was doing, why I was doing what and getting mad if I was doing something she didn't agree with. Ugh, it was hard to do anything. Don't even get me started on me trying to stay the night somewhere even though I was 20+ at the time. Parents need to learn when to protect and when to let go

OMG I think I might be a slightly helicopter Mum. It's only because I love them 😕 haha!
