"Trapped Under the Chopper: 40 Adults Reveal the Dark Truths of Growing Up with Helicopter Parents"

There’s many more instances of them being awful, but if I think of any particularly crazy ones I’ll be sure to edit my comment.

Edit: forgot to mention that when they moved they gave us two weeks notice to get all of our stuff out of their house or they would throw it away (we had been living there for 18 years). Then they moved while myself and both my siblings were still in college. My twin and I were in our last semester so we had to speed up our apartment hunting to be moved in by graduation. My little sister really got screwed over because she was still in her Sophomore year when they moved. I moved out of state for grad school during finals week. My siblings helped me move, my parents didn’t. I drove my own moving truck to and from my new place. Then I drove back to my college, graduated, and drove to my new place again. My twin ended up doing something very similar. My sister ended up having to deal with the extra fees for staying on campus over the summer because she couldn’t find a place in time.

Edit 2: I found out recently that they lied to my siblings about why I was grounded and told them it was because I had terrible grades

Edit 3: The driving lessons were free with the drivers ed that they forced me to take despite not allowing me to drive. Drivers ed was my birthday and Christmas present that year, and the lessons eventually expired so I don’t think my drivers ed ever counted for anything.

That reminds me, my senior year of high school my parents offered to get me a yearbook for a birthday present (it was like $75). I declined because I didn’t care that much, and my twin was getting one so it didn’t matter to me. So they just didn’t get me a birthday present that year.
