I love what one of the TCU folks (Kay Higgins, Director of Parent and Family Programs) says to parents - "Are you going to come back and watch them every time they take an exam?"

I have always allowed the parents up to our offices at work (and I can only think of one 20-something I've hired in recent years who has not had mom and/or dad come by for a visit) - but most of them realize their snowflakes are in good hands at our workplace and leave it be after that.

I have only had one involve a parent in their job interviewing/negotiation. As it was for a sales position, we withdrew the offer. If you can't navigate your own job offer, how the heck can I expect you to negotiate with a client on your own?!
