Health, Parenting, Weird and Awkward: Overdoing it

Overdoing it

By Anonymous - 30/10/2021 23:00

Today, my mother is such a helicopter parent, she wouldn’t let me go to my first appointment with my new gynaecologist without being in the room, to “keep an eye on him”. When I told her to stay out, she started screaming in the waiting room that I was going to be raped without her there. FML

Let it out

Today, I finally convinced my mum to take me to a psychologist. As soon as he sat me down and asked me how I was doing, my mum burst into tears and went on a rant about how her life is terrible and she regrets everything. I was asked to sit in the waiting room. She used up my whole hour. FML

Today, I had to go to the hospital. While I was there, my mom started hitting on a doctor. Later I saw them making out in the room next to me. FML

Not helping

Today, I had my first therapy session for the issues caused by trying to please my overbearing, paranoid, self-centred mother. The first thing she did after we started driving home? Ranting at me and demanding to know if I'd been "talking shit" about her to my therapist FML

Today, my mom instructed me to never scream when being attacked by a rapist. Apparently it would only anger him, causing him to chop my boobs off and superglue my eyes shut. FML

Weird assumption

By Thanks Mom - 20/05/2021 08:01 - United States

Today, I asked my helicopter parent mother if I could go over to a friend's house. She said no because her parents weren't there, and if she accused me of assaulting her, I'd have no defense. We're both 16, I'm gay and she's a lesbian. My mom is well aware of these facts. FML

Inappropriate!

Today, I nervously introduced my mother to my new boyfriend. I had to sit and watch her flirt with him for an hour. When I took her in the other room and confronted her about it, she said, "Don't you dare ruin this for me!" FML

Dads gonna dad

Today, I had to ask my dad to drop me off at my doctor's appointment. He insisted on coming up to the waiting room with me. When my doctor came out, he greeted her with, "Hi, I'm the dad, but I won't sit in because she's a 'big girl now'." I'm 21, and I was at my gyno check-up. FML

Today, my mother said she trusted me enough to go with me for my first drive in my new car. As soon as we got in the car, she started hyperventilating and screaming we're going to crash. I didn't even start the engine. FML

Today, my mom ambushed me with my cheating ex-fiancé, thinking being in the same room would miraculously change the past and we’d get back together. When I tried to walk out, my mom screamed like a banshee and latched onto my leg. After this I’m putting her in a retirement home and never visiting. FML

So who does your mom let watch when she goes to gyno?

Under no circumstances should you allow your mother to know anything about your Doctor's appointments. You need to set some boundaries, NOW!

I'm sure the gymnasts molested by Dr. Larry Nasser wish they had such helicopter parents.

The parents were often present in the office, yet Nassar still managed to do his thing.

to those who are laughing, this is NOT funny. feeling safe with your OB/GYN doctor, is something every female, no matter the age is something to strive for. this is why females will talk to other females about which Dr. they go to. woman are vulnerable when they are in office. heck we just had a Dr in my area get 59 years for doing unnecessary surgeries on female patients. be happy your mom cares about you this much

so if the mother was there and watched how would she know if the procedure they recommend is needed or not? unless she's a doc/nurse I don't see how your fantasy plays out. secondly, what's arguably worse is raising our daughters to fear the people who for the most part have their best interest at heart. yes there's bad docs but they are far far from the norm.
