I like hiking as much as the next slightly overweight, middle-aged woman. That means, I like to ride the gondalbahn to the top of the mountain, and then walk around, taking in the lovely views. This job is not for me. Columbia is hiring two Directors of Toughness.
When you hover over your kid and fix all his problems, you’re being a good parent, but when your neighbor does it, it’s obnoxious helicopter parenting. Or something. The problem is, helicoptered kids aren’t prepared to solve their own problems, which makes it tough for them to survive
