I have to say, slightly ironic the Daily Mail is doing a piece about how children are negatively overprotected these days. For those of you unfamiliar with the Daily Mail (or the Daily Fail as it is known in Britain), it is the UK's number one scaremongering paper. They probably aided in making these adults overprotective, seeing as for the better part of two decades they have been on a crusade to tell the nation about "IMMIGRANT SINGLE MOTHER PAEDOPHILES WHO LOVE VILE COMEDIAN AND ARE ON BENEFITS TAKING YOUR CHILDREN AND DEFACING WAR MEMORIALS WHILST EATING CANCER CAUSING RED MEAT!! DANGER DANGER!! REMAIN INDOORS!!" But seriously, they put so much fear into the hearts of middle aged middle class people it's no wonder these parents are scared shitless and overprotective.
Oh yes, I don't doubt that it's interesting in the slightest, I actually enjoyed the idea behind it! I was just saying the Daily Mail are hypocrites for negatively portraying over-protective parents and the protective culture when they themselves spent a lot of their time over the past twenty years telling parents to be over-protective through scaremongering. Silly Daily Mail.
