This helicopter mother thought it was a good idea for her son Phil if she followed him to college and rented a room at a nearby hotel for the entirety of the first semester. Let's take a moment to put ourselves in Phil's shoes for a second. Imagine growing up with that kind of smothering love for 18 years and finally getting the opportunity to leave home. For once, you'll be able to make your own decisions about the classes you want to take, the meals you want to eat, and the people with whom you want to socialize. Then, imagine that your helicopter parent insists on being there every step of the way.

It's remarkable how much self-awareness you have to lack for this mom to frame her omnipresence as a choice that will benefit her kid. Let's be real, though. This decision only benefits the mother by giving her a false sense of purpose. However, if you're Phil, you probably are going to have trouble connecting with faculty and students if your parent is lurking behind the scenes at all times.
