Bulldozer Parenting

You’ve heard of helicopter parents who hover over their children, eager to rescue them from the slightest misfortune, haven’t you? That’s nothing compared to another recent trend: bulldozer parents. Bulldozer parents clear the way for their children, pushing aside any obstruction. When their precious little snowflake angel gets a D in algebra, these parents rush to the school and demand to know why. They blame the teacher instead of encouraging their own child to study harder and get better at math. These are the parents who bark at umpires at Little League games. Delightful.
