Do you think that too many parents hover? Are they over protective? Or are perents no long involved in thier children's life?

I think there are some parents that are over protective and then there are some that just don't seem to care that much. Not that they don't try to act like they don't care, but you can tell by how much time they actually spend with them and the effort they put behind their child.

I think I am an over protective parent. My daughter, say's I never let her do anything and she is 15. I try to trust her, but it is hard when I know all her friends are untrustworthy.
