why was her mother on the stage????
Helicopter mum.
please explain...either I dont have a clue or I am tired so put me right please!
That's what parents who are overly protective or overly involved in the lives of their kids are called. Whenever there's any difficulty at all, the parents drop in out of the sky to help. You hear it used to describe when parents attend university interviews with their offspring and stuff like that.
A;though i personally dont agree with parents who force their kids on TV at age 10 years .............I really wouldn't describe her as a helicoptor parent. The little girl in qustion was 10 years old .....she broke down on live TV FGS ......if the mother hadn't have been around I think we'd have all been asking why not.
IMO it was perfectly reasonable for her mum to step in (although not really reasonable for the little girl to be in that position) if you get my drift.
