About this author

J.D. Rothman, a former instructor of remedial freshman composition, is an Emmy-winning children's television writer, producer and lyricist. While on an eight-state college tour with her older son, she started the anonymous NeuroticParent blog, which was excerpted in "I'm Going to College, Not You" (St. Martins Press, 2010). Rothman grew up in Brooklyn, and resided in several Latin American countries before settling in Santa Monica, where she and her husband, a bassist in the Los Angeles Philharmonic, live in their emptying nest. She prepared for none of her careers in college.


Off to four days of graduation fun, culminating on Mothers Day, a sea of hats celebrating the most erudite $250k we ever spent. Like a destination wedding without the Spanx: Eight official events, plus random breakfasts, receptions, cocktail parties, dinners, garden parties, UPS drama and parking nightmares. All in the rain, if you can trust the meteorology majors who predict the weather.
