Helicopter Parents and Other Undesireables

Maybe you've had the misfortune to be seated near them while dining out.  They're the family of three to five whose children scream, run around the restaurant, and generally behave like a tribe of howler monkeys.  The parents are worse than a table full of drunks.  They allow their children to disrupt the rest of the world, and in fact will tell you that this kind of obstreperous behavior is completely acceptable and even cute.  Moreover, the parents believe that their children have the inalienable right to behave this way, no matter who finds it offensive.  Their child is special, precious and a benefit to the world.  These are helicopter parents.

The only thing worse than helicopter parents are helicopter parents with a special needs child.
