The use of "mollycoddle" in everyday life

Hi

I would like to know if you use/hear the word mollycoddle in your everyday conversation?

She is mollycoddling her son.

Thanks,

Tom

In BrE it has a reasonable currency. It's not a word you hear every day, but you can use it without risking funny looks or lack of comprehension.
