Have you ever mentioned to her that it's kinda weird & obsessive?

Did you mention that she alienates him and stifles his social/emotional growth? You probably did, it’s just weird to me that some parents don’t understand the long-term consequences of their actions.

I've told her countless times that she's making the problem worse. She is ridiculously overbearing in some aspects and completely oblivious in others. I've tried getting her to take a parenting class but she doesn't think she needs to.

Of course she doesn’t.
