And creating a thread on GC about your daughter.

Butting in doesn't have to go so far as "helicoptering." Are people really pretending that they've never heard someone being told to "butt out" when they act a little too concerned or act too impacted by something? Sons and daughters tell their parents to butt out all the time when they get tired of the concern and the advice. That obviously hasn't happened in this instance but that's why there's now a thread and some of us are responding as we are.
