Helicopter Parents and a new blog

(Whole lotta linking going on today...)

OK, I just read a really funny article which I found through a fantastic blog that I'd checked a couple of times but never got round to reading properly and adding to my Google Reader. Links to both:

The article, which has given me a whole new insight into just how pushy parents can get. The term 'Helicopter Parents' has it's own Wikipedia entry even. Scary.

The blog, Fortify Your Oasis by Rowan Manahan, which looks like a real cracker and well worth a subscription and some regular attention.

Hope you enjoy both!

    You wait James until you have children. These Parents are around even from the very early years

    Good point, and I don't doubt it in the slightest!

    I think the second word in that comment is most apt too - I will indeed 'wait' for a good while to have children; best for them and me I reckon!
