Some kids have helicopter parents. I have drones.
No, just your father…
Same concept. Except that a helicopter implies self-piloting, where a drone is piloted by someone else. This doesn’t work if you overthink it.
They just want to mow down any obstacles in your way.
And then other kids have peeping toms.
Helicopter implies being open and visible. Drone implies being secretive, like the parents hiding behind the door.
It’s quite common that parents are both helicopter parents AND drones.
My mother only checked when I was too quiet for a time. If she heard the usual ‘gunfire’ and horses neighing she knew I was healthy and having fun.
