Why are adult children still having their bums wiped by mommy and daddy?

Really Pylon?
You're gonna jump all over a parent's comment made while stressing about a family member in a dangerous/frustrating situation?
You've never been in a situation with a family member where all you could think was "man they are being dumb/stubborn". So you're gonna cherry pick this one as an example of helicopter parenting or something?
Get over yourself. She was stressed about a family member and simply aired some frustration, it has nothing to do with her parenting, or this 22 year old's handle on the world.
Yes yes, I know, the NEP, Trudeau, up hill both ways in -40, etc,.
