Anybody out there got a son/daughter in last year/assignment meltdown. Talk about having to walk on eggshells with me tin helmet on. Any advice apart from drinking heavily..
 
2 options.

Ignore them.

Tell them to stfu whining, at least the exams are easier nowadays.
 
mines just finished his 1st year in law so got all that to come. fortunately he lives with his mother most of the time when he's home, so maybe i'll be lucky. having said that, its always me who gets the drunken 3.30am phone calls saying he can't get a taxi home from piper or welly. first response is always "well walk then, i used to", but then you think its all different these days and daren't risk it, so end up saying "i'll be 20 minutes, but this is that last time" !
