Helicopters, Snowplows and Recruitment

[33girl]

Another “influencer” involved? Maybe these girls need to stop making videos and pledge the library.

Say what you will, but I helped my Precious Peanut Butter from start to finish... she is a strong-willed one, so no worries that I was going to bowl her over as she does not hesitate to make it clear when I need to back off. I did stay for recruitment week because it was 8 hours away and I was not making a trip to move her in and then back to bid day a week later... so I stayed (for free) in a house with two other PNM moms (and dear friends) and we hung out and cheered our girls on. They facetimed at night to tell us about their day, get advice, tell funny recruitment stories, whatever. We dropped off food a couple of times because the PNM food was atrocious (I mean BAD), but otherwise stayed away and let them do their thing. It was fun, and I don't regret being there... and my girl would have ABSOLUTELY told me to butt out if she thought I was overstepping.

You crack me up! One day each of us will need to write the recruitment story of each of our precious pumpkins. You taught me the trick to seeing which house they were in at what time...it allowed this helicopter to go into a lower gear when I didn't know which houses buttercup was asked back to.

This makes me think of Lil Pound Cake from Ru Paul's Drag Race. (Lil Pound Cake has a hilarious Twitter, btw.)

Any situations where adults make a decision (adults including undergraduate women) and Mom calls to dispute said decision. THIS is helicoptering. I would DIE of embarrassment if my parents had done this crap.
