Personal Narrative: Helicopter Parenting
I am only child and all my family’s focus is on me. It’s a good thing because I rarely have to fight for attention with my parents, but also it is bad because every wrong choice I make ends up being the analyzed for weeks. Helicopter parenting is a parent who hovers over his or her children's life. My mom is always involved somehow in my life, and sometimes more than I want her to be. My mom is very strict with me and she wants me to be really successful in life. I understand that, and I love the motivation she gives me. But sometimes it’s too much. She wants to know where I am at all times and if I don't typically reply within a few minutes she tends to freak out and think the worst.
