About 7 years ago I attended a week long management seminar in Lake Placid and it was there I first heard the term "helicopter parents". The management guru was telling anecdotes of how far some of the the parents go to make sure their child succeeds, even having the nerve of showing up to the kid's first job interview with the expectation of sitting in and helping little junior with the "tough" questions (mean 'ol interviewer).
The kids we're talking about here, all equals, blah, blah, sound like the same kids this guy was berating. Still tied to mommy's apron-strings, no clue as to what is expected of them in the workplace.
