Nah the real issue is that people will cave in to those helicopter parents making everyone else deal with whatever insanity they force onto their children's

    I’ve got 4 kids ages 15 to 3. I’m noticing that the helicoptering I’ve seen from other parents was much worse pre COVID than it is now.

    I remember when my oldest kid was like 3 or 4 and hearing the word playdate for the first time. Hate that word. Sorry I’m rambling lol
