Look, I have my doubts about whether the letter you’re about to read is genuine. But the fact that it’s an even halfway plausible demonstration of helicopter parenting—or, more accurately, drone parenting—is scary enough to warrant sharing it.
If incoming college freshman “Max” and his overbearing mom are real, well, we need to pray for them. Because between all the mouth-breathing and date-coaching, it sounds like they have far more than their fair share of daily battles to fight. I had a panic attack just reading about them.

Seriously, if this is fake, whoever wrote it needs a job in Hollywood.
