www.kansascity.com | 07/09/2008 | Summer camps find a new trend: Kidsick parents, not homesick kids: "These days, camp leaders and family counselors say it is an increasingly common dynamic. It used to be the homesick kid begging to come home from camp. While that still happens, they have noticed that it is often parents who have more trouble letting go. They call it “kidsickness,” a condition attributed in large part to today’s more involved style of parenting. Observers also say it is only being exacerbated by our ability to be in constant contact by cell phone and computer, as well as many parents’ perception that the world is a more dangerous place."

Maybe this is the kind of person who sincerely wants to live in a gated community, surrounded by people exactly like themselves and protected from that nasty old world out there.
