When I was growing up – watching my classmates parents hovering over them and bringing them lunch and snacks – makes me so inferior because my mom could never do that – because my mom was a working mom. My mom don’t even have time for day creams, much less try and go to school and peep at me during recess them. I’ve always thought that with my own kid, I am gonna do all the things that my mom couldn’t do for me – not of any fault of hers of course. But you see things are quite the different now – these days the school and teachers do not encourage the parents to be helicopter moms at all. Coming to school to watch your kid – does not make your kid a “special” kid – in fact – she could be taunted and laughed at for being such a baby.
But i’m not ashamed to let her teachers and principal know that I’m a helicopter mom – because that was the way i wasn’t brought up – and because of that – I don’t want to miss out on things that my mom missed out. I not only wanna be there when she wins a trophy – i wanna be there for everything. The school may have their rules and expectation but Chloe was brought up quite differently – she is a girl who tells me .. yer’re too awesome mom..!! just because i let her have an extra piece of chocolate.
