I am far too busy keeping an eye on my kid than to helicopter over someone else's child. My husband tends to hover over our son more than I do. I want my little guy to explore and to challenge himself. It is hard because he is our only, so I try not to baby him too much. Everyone parents differently unless I think someone's child is going to hurt themselves badly or hurt someone else I won't step in. .-= Joanne @ Barely Domestic Mama´s last blog ..Pardon the quiet while I clean up around here... =-.

Great topic, I think we are a bit of a mix. We don't exactly hover, but we also give them sufficient limits to make sure they are safe. My brother in law is a helicopter parent, not to his children who run wild but he try to hover over my little ones. It drives me CRAZY. Children need to learn to explore, they need to learn independence and self reliance. Ugh, he drives me nuts. .-= Ruth´s last blog ..Wordless Wednesday. =-.

In reply to Alex. Maybe you are right. I guess I think of safety in those terms a little differently. Like, if she's going to slam her finger in the door and require stitches, I want to check first? I guess it's the interference that bothers me more! .-= Krystyn´s last blog ..It’s sprinkler time-Wordful and Pictureful Wednesday =-.

As someone who considers herself a helicopter-esque parent, I only parent other people's children when they are directly interfering with my own (hitting, being rude). Otherwise, I could care less. (but I have a GREAT evil eye when a parent's kid is out of control) And I would've thought that checking the door for safety before letting your 18 month old use it IS helicopter-y ;) Because once I know an area was safe, I would totally let my children run around without me up in their business. So maybe it's just semantics... and we are more alike in our parenting then the definitions would lead us to believe :) .-= Alex´s last blog ..If You Have A Barney Tattoo, Don’t Despair.

I hate it when parents overstep their bounds with other parents kids. The only time that is necessary is if the child is in serious danger. Of if your child is putting my child in danger, then I'll step in. But just let kids be kids, learn, make mistakes, fall down. That's what kids do. It's how the learn. .-= Allison´s last blog ..What Better Way to Bond… =-.

I may or may not be a helicopter parent(some days I am probably worse than others). But I most certainly get completely annoyed when others try to parent my kids. It is always the extra helpful associate at Walmart reminding my child in their most goo-goo gaa-gaa voice that they should not run in the aisles or stand on the side of the cart. I want to shout at the top of my lungs. I am right here! It is okay with me they are not harming others and they are most certainly not touching you or your stuff. If you have a problem speak to me directly NOT my kids! Honestly! Oh sorry I got a little fired up just there haha! .-= Brandie´s last blog ..Wordful Wednesday =-.

I get pretty ticked off when people try to do stuff like that too, with my kids. But then I've probably done it a few times myself (with other people's kids) not really even realizing it. That being said, I don't think I've ever given dirty looks to a parent, like I was feeling that they were a bad parent, I think I was just trying to help the child. Does that make sense? I certainly don't consider myself a "helicopter parent" for my children or anyone else's. Just maybe a like a bee that buzzes in and out... ;-) .-= Elaine´s last blog ..Stars in Their Eyes =-.
