I'm a parent of a soon to be college student - I feel your pain!
I always tell parents to have a heart to heart with their children about the grades, and that I am more than happy to discuss the grades with the student. No matter who is paying for it, I think an important part of the college experience is learning to take responsibility for your actions - and that parents who want to discuss (in other words, push for a grade change) their children's grades with their professors are denying their children the chance to take a major step towards adulthood.
And back in my college days, if I had not immediately shown my parents my grades I would have been in hot water!
