I'm certain that they do. What I wonder is whether previous generations recognized problems like helicopter parenting when they were the same age as the people they were criticizing. I'm 25, my mom i still determined to maintain a holding pattern 6 inches behind me at all times, and I recognize the problems overparenting causes (why the fuck would you admit that your parents wrote your college admission essay, nevermind brag about it?)

I love those things. If they hadn't been dumb enough to market them toward kids instead of adults, they'd probably have suck around longer. Not that it affects me, I bought mine black market two years ago.
