For every coddled child there is a helicopter parent waiting to initiate drone strikes.
🙂 You think it’s just on the Millennials?

Just think: since we already have weaponized drones, and camera drones, we can have nanny drones. I predict nanny drones will be the new hot toy for parents at Christmas, some Christmas.

    Well, after parents adopt these drones, they will finally have the remote-controlled children they wanted, and so might leave their actual offspring alone.

    Very, very rarely.
