The Wall Street Journal recently featured an article about a growing trend of parents being overly involved in their children’s efforts to secure a job or navigate their career. One mother actually came into the workplace to mediate a conflict for their child.
Other mothers have accompanied their adult children to job interviews! We’ve heard in the past about “helicopter parents” being involved heavily in their children’s school life, but now these behaviors are spilling over into the workplace.
Hebrews 12:12 says, “Therefore lift your drooping hands and strengthen your weak knees, and make straight paths for your feet.”
Parents, it’s great to care, but let your children grow up and fight their own workplace battles. Employers, be wary of applicants who need parents to lobby you for a job.
