Helicopter Parents Calling for Adult Children
What are your worst or most hilarious helicopter parent stories? I’m talking about the ones who call on behalf of their adult children who live without the need for special assistance or guardianship.
I work in healthcare and am constantly being screamed at by moms of 20 somethings who don’t want to fill out their own forms or complete onboarding. Mommy calls and screams at support for something that cannot be changed. We cannot bypass verifying identity and HIPAA authentication because your grown ass child is upset and won’t speak to us.
A mom I spoke to recently said I was causing emotional distress by forcing her adult child to speak to me about her own refill. When the adult child got on the phone, the mom screamed at me “See! She doesn’t want to talk to you.” But we never even got started. 🫣💀
