While my own parents weren't helicopter parents in the traditional sense, I was around adults more than most kids much of my childhood and that was both good and bad. For childhood it was harder because my maturity level relative to my peers was much higher. I expected peers to behave like the adults in my life and with reason and maturity and found neither. On the other hand it was an investment into adulthood and I had dodged A LOT of things other people did not.
