9 Baby-boomer parents seem to struggle with two things:saying no and letting go. The teaching assistants massedtogether in the theatre were advised to send unhappy parentsdirectly to professors. I sat in disbelief, but yes, it happens.

From professors and teaching assistants toregistrars and student-loan officers, I learned to find my waythrough the perils and pleasures of university life. Naturally, Imade mistakes, but then I still do.

This timea son was pleading with his mother to stay put while he went tothe counter and dealt with the problem himself. They were stillnegotiating when I left.
