"Helicopter parenting" and "smothering" are not the only alternatives to self-serving, self-absorbed neglect.

Throwing your hands up because something is hard and there are no obvious answers is not a recipe for doing a good job at... anything.

I guess I see fewer under-concerned parents than I do over-concerned parents. Of course there are both.

I most often see that kind of thing from parents who are trying to compensate for failing to be present in more fundamental ways.
