There was this mom who followed her son everywhere. When the son went on a college tour, she insisted on going with him and sitting in on all his meetings with professors. It was really embarrassing for the son. He couldn't even have a normal conversation with the college staff because his mom was always butting in. He felt like he had no independence at all.
One story is about a mom who wouldn't let her 16 - year - old daughter go to a school dance. She was so overprotective that she made the daughter stay at home and study instead, even though the daughter had good grades. It made the daughter feel really left out and sad.
I know a mom who was so overprotective that she checked her daughter's phone every hour. She would read all the messages and if she saw any boy's name, she would interrogate the daughter about it. The daughter started to feel like she had no privacy at all. This led to a lot of arguments between them. The daughter felt suffocated and it really affected their relationship negatively. The overprotection made the daughter resent her mom to some extent.
One common situation is restricting a child's social life. For example, not allowing them to go to parties or hang out with friends, like the mom who wouldn't let her teen go to a school dance.
There was a mom whose child got lost in a big shopping mall. She had been looking at some clothes and suddenly realized her little one was gone. She ran around the mall, shouting the child's name, her heart pounding. She finally found the child in a toy store, but the few minutes of not knowing where the child was were pure horror for her.
There was a helicopter mom who monitored her daughter's every move on social media. She would comment on every post, embarrass the daughter in front of her friends, and even tried to interfere in her daughter's relationships with classmates. This made the daughter extremely self - conscious and less confident in social interactions.
One horror story is when a mom wouldn't let her 16 - year - old daughter go on a school trip. The daughter had been looking forward to it for months, it was an educational trip. But the mom was convinced something bad would happen, like the bus would crash or the daughter would get lost. The daughter was so embarrassed in front of her friends and it made her really resent her mom.
There was a tiger mom who made her child study all day long during weekends and holidays. If the grades were not perfect, there would be severe punishments like no TV or games for months. The kid was always on edge and lost the joy of learning.
One horror story could be when the mom tries to get proper educational support for her autistic child. She might face a lot of bureaucracy and resistance from the school system. For example, the school may not want to provide the necessary individualized education plan (IEP) or may try to cut corners on services. It's a nightmare for the mom as she has to fight tooth and nail just to ensure her child gets the basic education they deserve.
One horror story is when a mom wouldn't let her 16 - year - old daughter go to a school dance. The girl had done everything right, had good grades and was responsible. But the mom was so overprotective, she feared for her daughter's safety at the dance. She made the girl stay home while all her friends had a great time. It really damaged their relationship for a while.
One horror story could be constantly fighting with insurance companies to get proper therapies covered for the autistic child. They often try to deny claims, leaving the mom desperate to find a way to pay for expensive but necessary treatments.
A mom once had a horrible experience when she was driving with her baby in the car. The baby suddenly started crying non - stop. She pulled over to check but couldn't figure out what was wrong. It turned out the baby's diaper had leaked all over the car seat, and she had no extra diapers with her at that moment.
Sure. One positive 'bend over mom story' could be a mom bending over to plant flowers in the front yard with her kids. It's a moment of bonding and creating beauty together.
