You're at the zoo, and your kid is begging you to go to the petting area. Do you:

Your kid is having a couple friends over and they are playing in your backyard. Do you:

Your 9-year-old gets invited to a kids-only pool party for a classmate's birthday. Do you:

You’ve just got your kid their first cell phone. Do you:

Damn right you are a controlling parent! It's a tough world out there and when it comes to your kids, you always have their best interest in mind. You definitely know when to turn on your radar during any situation. Your kids will thank you one day!
