What you wrote makes no logical sense. It's simply confirmation bias.
> My 21 year old friend has had his parents take a big part in his life. He has upper middle class parents who watch his every move, sign him up for SAT tutors, force him to take piano lessons. Has no clue how to cook, found freshman year comp sci too hard and switched to communications
Having parents who take a big part of your life has no bearing on whether or not you'll do well at Comp Sci 101.
> Probably will depend on his dad's connections to get an office job.
After your first job out of college, subsequent jobs are found based on your "connections." That's networking.
Also learning to cook isn't difficult. It just takes practice.
- ThomPete 11y agoMost things just take practice especially being a human being. The point — I think — is not that you become superman by being able to cook yourself. The point is that helicopter parents are wrong in thinking that they are doing their kids a favor by being constantly there for them. Whatever their motives are they are not putting them in a better position in the long run. It's more an attempt to control the destiny of their childs future by controlling it for as long as they can.
