As A-level students across the UK open their results envelopes, parents will be just as stressed as their offspring.
If all goes to plan, today will be a day of celebration, marking the end of your child's years at school and the beginning of their adult life.
But if their results aren't quite what they'd expected, you'll spend the afternoon supporting them as they battle with university Clearing or reconsider their options.
Cuts to careers services have forced parents into the frontline when it comes to advising school-leavers about what to do next. Universities say more parents than ever are attending open days, pouring through prospectuses and asking tough questions about employability rates.
How much say will you have in your child's next step? And how is results day going for you? Share your experience with other parents by posting in the comment thread.
