My mom's not as much a heli-mom (although she is to some extent), but she pretty much let me be the center of the world for 21 years. Now that I have kids, she expects me to turn that off and make my kids the center of the universe. First, it's hard to turn that off when you're used to doing whatever you want when you want. I do lots of stuff like the Oratorio Singers of Charlotte, community theatre and paid acting stuff and end up dumping my kids at my parents house because they let me. This is one of my reasons for wanting to move to NYC...as convenient as it is to keep taking advantage of my parents, it's not healthy for them, the kids or me. It will be good to put some distance there, at least for a little while.
