#12: Parental Overprotection

It’s understandable that parents wish to protect their kids by any means, but sometimes, they can take it to an extreme. Consider the situation where a couple scheduled an appointment for their son but showed up without him. It makes you wonder how they could think their son wouldn’t be needed for his own evaluation.

While it’s true that depending on the child’s age, parents might handle most of the discussion, the child’s presence is still essential. This incident humorously highlights how parental instincts to shield can sometimes lead to over-the-top decisions, forgetting the practical aspects of healthcare appointments.
