When parenting goes too far, is it ever right?

Parenting can often be a tricky balancing act between giving our children enough space to grow, while also making sure they are safe. Recently, a father has had to confront his wife after she meddled in their son’s job hunt. She had called the clothing store that their son had applied to, berating the hiring manager for giving him “false hope”. The father had to step in and point out that her behavior was too overbearing, questioning whether this is ever the right thing to do. Let’s take a closer look at this conundrum and examine how it unfolded.
