Overprotective Mum Mugs

'News headline: Britain unsafe to bring up young children.'

No Immediate Danger

"I don't care why you crossed the road! I do care however about "how" you crossed the road: without checking for cars first!"

First Steps

'Honey...you're spoiling that child.'

"I wouldn't take the name 'dog strangling vine' literally."

'It's my mother. She wants to talk to you.'

"Ya know, boys and girls studying alone like this is strictly forbidden in Iran."

Personnel: 'I promised Mom I'd call her when I got here safely - do you mind?'

"You mentioned separation anxiety. Don't worry, she'll be all right."

"My mom can be a little over-protective ... "

'Which end's the shallow end?'

"No - wait, I haven't read them all yet..."

"Daddy, you're not going to give us a sermon on responsible behavior, are you?"

"Let's talk about your overprotective mother."

I wish my baby came with suction cups so there was a place to put him while I shower.

"Lawsuits must really be getting out of hand."

Bring my daughter back at 11 sharp or...

"I still think we should go higher than Factor 0.5."

"I'm sorry your son Billy ran away, but there's not much we can do being that he's thirty-four."

"Do your dad and tia know you broke up with Smiley?"

'Do you think he's starting to out grow the pram?'

"Jimmy has helicoptor parents."

"I realize some of your friends have them, but you cannot have a webcam in your room."

'Oh, Daddy's old gun?... I think he's planning on showing it to you. He always said, it was there in case I ever brought a boyfriend home.'

"I asked my Mom to drive me to school because the bus doesn't have airbags"

'Darn it Mother! I'm not MISSING! I'm just working DOUBLES this month!'

"Mom always was a helicopter mom, and now she's got a drone!"

"Of course I trust your judgement dear. But, it can't hurt to do a quick police check on your new boyfriend."

one final word. bring my daughter home at 11pm sharp or. . .

'Dad - couldn't you miss just a little of my growing up?'

"Gracie, is this a love note? Who's Tyler?"

"I sometimes think my mom hovers too much."
