You don't have a heli-mom. I will explain to you why.

I LOVE MY HELI-MOM.
She drove the miles down with me to college and stayed with me during RUSH. Being ill, she gave me a break and made sure that I was rested.
When I found out at the last minute about international travel, ironically, I was ill, she typed my application after I wrote my essay. My Dad proof read too.
A real heli-mom would write your essay herself.

BUT I HEART MY HELI-MOM.
She has never called my boss.
In my first job, she made a gourmet chowder for Christmas potluck that I passed off as my own. I got on the bosses good side.
A real heli-mom would not only call your boss to make sure everything was alright in your job, but would call to make sure nothing was being served at Christmas potluck that could make you sick.

"Yes, Mom, I could do that job as well as prime minister and solve world hunger" or simply, "Sounds great Mom, why don't you do it?"
Real heli-moms are lacking in humor. KIDZ ARE SERIOUS BUSINESS YO.

33--I think your description here moves to the next level of helicoptering--the lawnmower parent. The parent that tries to mow over any possible obstacle their child could face.
