[dad-isms]

If you can’t put them before you and it has to be your way, just know you are occupying a childish position.  Actually, psychologically speaking, that is the proper term:  Child.  

Mature in body, but not in the mind.

This is the ultimate in toxicity.  

This ‘relationship’?  It will go nowhere.  Ever.  

If you’ve met this person, do they need some time to find themselves?  No, they need to learn how to serve others, not self.

People don’t Eat Pray Love themselves to health, they get healthy when they figure out that they are small.  That serving is way higher than being served.  That ‘if it feels good do it’ is an empty place to live.  

Sacrificial love.  This is when you know the person is capable of love.

Do you hear the chopping/whirring noise? Oh, it’s the helicopter parents finally telling me to talk about them. Today, let’s talk about Helicopter Parenting!

Helicopter parents are known for their hovering, hence their name. These parents love to micromanage and control every aspect of their child’s life. Unlike the authoritarian parents, these parents don’t really encourage individual thinking. They love to know everything about their child’s life and nitpick how their child chooses to live their life. Many would assume these parents are controlling or overbearing. There’s a large debate as to what effectiveness this parenting style has on the child(as with any parenting style). Let’s take a look at what the pros and cons are:

Pros

Parents get to see and watch every special moment their child has

Protection of your child from predators or “toxic” people

Child will never have to worry about being alone

Cons

Child gets no privacy or sense of self/individual development

Child may suffer from dependency issues

Possible psychological trauma from parent (see next post)
