From WSJ article Should You Bring Mom and Dad to the Office?

Someone on tv recounted a 25-year-old had a bad first day at work and the parent called him to complain because her son didn't enjoy it.

Huffington Post article Millennials Now Bringing Their Parents Along On Job Interviews talks about the "helicopter parent" aspect.
