I would automatically reject any job candidate who brought parents into the situation. What happens if those parents die? People have to stand on their own feet.
I would too, for murder.
People perceive the Democrats will "take care" of them.
What the hell happened to this country?
I can remember being resentful of my mother trying to help me cross the street when I was 4 years old.
I can't wait to do this to my kids! If they're embarrassed by me now in elementary school, wait'll I go on job interviews with them!
Every American parent needs to like to George Carlin's "F#$k the Children." Children are getting entirely too much attention: "Parents are enrolling their kids into college before the know which end of the playpen smells the worst."
There is entirely too much meaningless structure these "cell phone" parents are forcing on children: "You need a helmet for everything except jerking off!"
The one requirement parents should make of their children is for them to look at the clouds and daydream--EVERY DAY FOR AT LEAST AN HOUR!!! Let them think for themselves.
If I got a call asking me why "Jeffie" didn't get the job or promotion, I'd reply "Because his parents don't know or care when they cross the line, and he's afraid to tell them. He's lucky I haven't recided to replace him yet."
I know this school well and I find the students as a whole to be remarkably self-sufficient. It was at one time the National Farm School and there are still a lot of farm families who send their children here. They can major in small or large anaimals or different types of horticulture. These kids who grow up on farms learn to work at a young age. My guess is that these are the non-farm majors. Criminal justice is a big major there now, among others.
I would love to ask that man if he brought his resume and was interested in a job. Tell him that he seems to have something on the ball even if his daughter is a complete waste. (No, I wouldn't hire him. I would just want to publicly embarrass him and his daughter.)

I get lambasted by my children's teachers for not hovering over every assignment. I told them that if I hovered over their assignments in the fourth and fifth grade, I will be having to hover in the 10th and 11th grade. Why bother starting when I refuse to continue it.
So I guess I'm just a bad mom.
So would mommy and daddy be sharing a cube with their kid when they get the job? Would they "supervise" their kid's out of town business trips? Come on! These aren't kids. They are adults who are going to be spending a lot of money on therapy because they don't know how to handle themselves without mommy and daddy talking for them and holding their hand in difficult situations. I thought that tough situations like interviewing were supposed to be character building, not coddling.
She wrote my resume, gave me career advice, and sat in on my job interviews but she wouldn't give me a Pepsi ... just one Pepsi ...
Another hellish condition allowed by the invention of the cell phone.
Recently, I have seen this creep in with graduate students I work with, especially the daughters. The ones whose parents get involved don't always have the best reputation as it is. I have wondered out loud what will happen when they get jobs. Now we know...
Just remember, all the perfect children of FR are competing against these dolts...means more $$$ and opportunities for them...
I have two sons 18 and 20. They both know I am there as emergency backup, but they are adults. They can ask my advice, and do, occasionally, but they are adults. It's there decision about school, work, where to live, what to wear, when to get their hair cut.
I'm supposed to hover? My youngest wouldn't have let me hover if I had wanted to...
