Pimping for Whirlybirds!

Yay! I have gone and done it - created a community for fellow mums/moms with children about to fly the nest.

whirlybirds is now up and running over at The Helipad.

All we need now are members - so please spread the word around LJ - this is my description of what the community is about -

This community is primarily a support group for parents whose teenaged offspring are leaving home for college/university.

It is called 'The Helipad', and the members 'Whirlybirds', from the concept of 'The Helicopter Mom'.

Helicopter parents either hover over their offspring at all times, or come flying in to school/university etc. to 'rescue' them from essay dead-lines, sniping flatmates, inability to use a washing machine etc.

'Whirlybirds' because we are likely to be mostly female, and all of a whirl about the offspring.

Young people with helicopter parents are often derided by their peers!

So this is a community where you can worry, rant, whinge, panic as you see fit, whilst not leaving the Helipad.

Comments and advice from all and everyone will be welcome, especially those of you who are still in either higher education or your teens or twenties!


Please pimp this for me. Thank you.
