Question

There is a fine line between a parent who is active and open-minded and one that doesn’t know when to let go（放手）. As my daughter, Nicole, prepares to leave home for college, I’m discovering how hard it is to stay on the side of this line. When I hold the apron strings（圍裙帶） connecting us, Nicole, eager to independence, tries to loosen my grasp. What results is a (an) mother-daughter, push-me, pull-you kind of tango.

For the past two years, it’s gone like this:

Mother’s question：“Have you thought of taking an advanced class（大學(xué)預(yù)備課程）so that you can earn college credit?”

Daughter’s ：“No, I’m not interested in that.”

We met on the campus the next afternoon, and Nicole’s face with excitement. “I have had my entire schedule figured out,” she said. “Already?” I was astonished, she should have discussed it with me. I examined the schedule. Nicole hadn’t taken a (an) one of the courses I had suggested. Every course she had chosen suited her interests. Just then I saw a mature, capable young woman with a mind and the ability to shape her future. She no longer needed her mother every decision she made. I felt proud, though still a bit .
