Lol I knew I shoulda posted the entire explanation….
A lawnmower parent is an over-involved parent who "mows down" any obstacles, difficulties, or failures in their child's path to ensure a smooth, stress-free life.
Unlike helicopter parents who just hover, lawnmower parents actively intervene to solve problems, such as doing homework, arguing with teachers, or fixing social conflicts. -

I see a lot of that these days! There was a time when the parents would defer to the teachers and they would also make sure their children respected the teacher. Now we've got all these parents who insist their darling little snowflakes are perfect and never do anything wrong, even demanding that their grades be changed to better grades (because it couldn't be that their little urchins aren't studying and doing the work). So many teachers are just up and leaving because it's just not worth it. It's bad enough to be treated so horribly, but they're also not paid enough to put up with this crap.

Boomers and Silent Genners thought the same of your generation back in the day.
People have been worrying about "today's youth" since ancient times, and yet, here we are, post-space age.

Nah ..the core is evidently lost on you.
Your core argument was that I was complaining about the youth of America… I'm pointing out the inadequacy of a parenting style. Maybe you should get off the couch and get some fresh air

the name makes me laugh, but I don’t know how that’s even doable realistically speaking. They’ll never learn independence that way
