• I Hate Helicopter Moms

  I hate helicopter moms. If you do not know what a helicopter mom is here is a definition from Urban Dictionary.
  
  Helicopter Mom:
  
  

  A hovering & controlling, but well-meaning, parent who gets way too involved in her child's life to the point of doing things that are completely inappropriate, such as personally attending all of little Sweetiepie's extracurricular activities, writing medium-sized Sweetiepie's school application essays, and submitting full-grown Sweetiepie's job applications.

  
  If you readers haven't noticed I haven't been as active on Xanga as I usually am. I haven't really commented other xangas, read other xangans, or posted frequently as I usually do. The only thing I have really done on Xanga from time to time is Xanga Pulse.
  
  The reason for this unactiveness is because I have been working since the start of summer. I work as a Peer Advisor aka GatorAider for San Francisco State University. I help the new freshmen and transfers for Fall '09 to register for classes and get to know SFSU. It is a 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM job, but a little longer if you count me having to wake up at 5:30 AM and sometimes leaving work as late as 5:30 PM.
  
  I have enjoyed the job a lot so far. I feel respected by my fellow GatorAiders and students, but there is one group that bothers me and those are Helicopter Moms. There is always one when I work. They nag, ask a lot of questions, and just plain out piss me off. I hate them for many reasons:
  
  

  1. They do everything for their child so their child don't learn anything.
  2. They get mad at you if they feel that you aren't giving them the correct answer.
  3. They think that they know more than you even though you have been trained.
  4. They blame you even though you are the messenger.
  5. They ask so many questions.
  6. They keep asking the same question even though you answered their question the first time.
  7. They are upset when that they can't work with their child.
  8. They are rude if you aren't on their good side.
  9. They cut in when you are working with another person.
  10. They are just bitches.

  So if any of you are going to SFSU in the Fall of '09 do not bring your Helicopter Mom. If you do tell her to not bother the Asian with a buzz cut and glasses. Thank you.
  
  Later Days...
