[quote=Anonymous]11:38.  And another thing...

Realize now that you can't and shouldn't control every aspect of your child's academic career.

I advise my own children that just as you may find yourself in a classroom with students with whom you dislike/aren't kind/aren't friendly/don't like you, that's life.  You will have strange college roommates, neighbors with whom you disagree, co workers and bosses you can't abide and gain relatives by marriage who are difficult...so - deal.

My children know they can vent and rant and rave to me.  I'll offer advice and helpful hints (if prompted, other times, I know they just want to talk so ill chime in knowing I'll be ignored) but I convey that "such is life."

Remember that there are two sides to a story.  Don't always blindly trust your child.  Don't always defend your child.  You child is special to you, but that specialness does not extend to every single adult in the world, remember that.

Life is full of disappointments.  No, not everyone wins, not every child gets a trophy, life's not a competition.  [/quote]
