So we've all heard of helicopter parents but it looks like the college admissions scandal has gifted us a new buzzword. "Snowplow parenting" is parents doing all they can, including committing crimes, to give their kids an easy life.

Everything is going to be fine. Everything is going to be ok. It’s going to be a good, good life, that’s what my therapist says.

OT isn't going to spread your buzzword for you. You're going to need to write an opinion piece for HuffPo then spread it around Facebook mom pages.

If I was a parent, my style would best be summed up as “crate training”

I think the NY Times actually coined this term in their article. NY Times article from last month

Before that, there was an article last year about "lawnmower parenting," which is basically the same thing: mow down/plow down obstacles and clear the path before the kid walks on it.

I'd describe my style as more "ghetto avoidance parenting". Otherwise good luck you little shite.
