Line 25: == [[Film]] == * Every mother depicted in ''[[Stick It]]'' was '''The Agent''' variation of helicopter parent; and some were a particularly abusive twist on ~~that -- more~~that—more focused on their daughter's gymnastic success than in their happiness or mental well-being. * In ''[[August Rush]]'' Lyla's father is so obsessed with making sure she is a successful violinist that he intentionally separated her from her son {{spoiler\|by forging her name on the adoption certificate}} and told her {{spoiler\|that the baby died}}. He does redeem himself by telling her eventually what he had done although he kept the secret for 11 years, making him a classic "Black Hawk" parent. * Sheelah Sugrue in ''[[Darby O'Gill and the Little People\|Darby O Gill and The Little People]]''. Line 35: == [[Live Action TV]] == * Richard and Emily Gilmore in ''[[Gilmore Girls]]'' are constantly trying to "help" their daughter and ~~granddaughter -- or~~granddaughter—or, if you prefer Lorelei's interpretation, control their lives and suppress their free will. They are, in fact, so manipulative that it is often bordering on impossible to believe that they legitimately care at all, and aren't just trying to ensure the outcome that will bring the least disrepute to the family name. * Marie Barone, Raymond's mother on ''[[Everybody Loves Raymond]]''. Frank, his dad, not so much. * Jerry's parents on ''[[Seinfeld]]''.
