I agree 100%, Jocelyn. And if she was my daughter (and not
step-daughter) that is what would happen. I think that Donn tends to let
her have more input than I think is appropriate because she basically
did whatever she wanted when she was with her mom and giving her some
input makes life quieter around here.  I think her bluff needs to be
called and we do what the doc says. 

As you might have seen by now, there have been some changes and they are
home. I'm not going to push him to deal with her tonight because don't
think it really is at that level. And I know he is exhausted. He has
been scrambling to get end of term grades turned in and is really
stressed to the limit with this added. Caty seems to have extraordinary
timing to do things like this at the most inopportune times. Maybe by
morning she will have peed. At the very least they will have rested some
and, perhaps, be in a better frame of mind.

No, that isn't me holding Hannah. That is my oldest step-daughter,
Amanda. Donn and I aren't in the pic. :)  If I was as thin as her (she
wears a 3) maybe I'd be in it but for now I prefer to be on the backside
of a camera. :)
