Hey parents who take their kids to the public pool/swim lessons, your 10 year old doesn’t need help showering. Are you going to go off to college with her and stand in the shower with her at her dorm. I thought helicopter parenting was starting to go out of style, you sure wouldn’t know it at suburban swim centers. I’m so fucking tired of trying to shower after lap swimming while you stand fully clothed in the shower room helping your 10 year old shower while your 4 year old runs around unsupervised staring at every naked lady.

  1. That sounds a little over-protective and invasive of you but there’s no good way to tell a parent to leave you alone with their kid in the shower.

  2. This isn’t just one specific woman, although she is a prime example. There is always an entire gaggle of these ladies in the showers when their school age children finish swim lessons. And no, none of the children are disabled.

  3. I let my kid eat sugar and watch tv non-stop (because I grew up organic with no TV in the 60s. FUCK). Now she is a teen, not doing drugs, not running around, eating a ton of fruit and veggies, not piercing holes in her face and, squee, doing her homework and misses about 1 day of school a year. I know a lot of helicopter parents who thought I was wacko at the time and now their kids are living in apts. with 4 other people (like I did) and pumping gas for a living. No college in sight when that was all they were groomed for. 4 year degree, master’s, career, money like Mom and Dad. That helicopter shit backfires every time. I am not kidding.

  4. ^ Points for creativity, but the fact you’d go to such lengths really just shows how obsessed you are with me. Almost flattering, almost.

  5. FYI, that last comment was directed at the latest person to have their account removed, not at anyone else in this thread.

  6. Ten year old girls, that have over protective moms.
    I guess it is better to be ridiculed for being over protective then letting your kid be unattended with a bunch of strangers in a public shower. She is 10 not 18.
