I had a client come into the office a couple of weeks ago. She was 19 and was dealing with a problem with the IRS that absolutely required HER to make a phone call to the IRS. I offered to make the phone call from our office where I could help her deal with them. Her response? "I am only 19, I cannot do anything at all like that unless my mother is present". She had a serious situation going on that I won't go into, but what her mother told her to do would have just made it worse.

There are some helicopter/controlling parents out there who have brainwashed their young adult children into believing that they cannot do anything unless mommy or daddy is in charge of what happens.
Then they'd better learn to either start thinking for themselves, or accept the fact that Mommy and Daddy are going to control every aspect of their life and they're going to have to live with the results. There are no other alternatives.
