The first two tendencies are parents who overprotect their kids.

The Helicopter Parent sits in the backyard with the child to ensure he never comes face-to-face with the grill of a car at all. The message the child receives is, Since you’re the center of the universe, I’ll make sure you don’t face challenges or get hurt. When you do fall off of your bike though, I don’t believe you’ll be able to handle it on your own, so I’ll be right there to rescue you.

Men can’t read your mind. If you “hint” at wanting help, men will not get it. “I wish I was taller so I could reach that canister” sounds like a simple statement. Asking directly works much better, i.e., “Honey, when you have a minute can you reach that canister for me?”
Men don’t like to be bombarded with new problems as soon as they walk in the door. Providing time to unwind works much better.
