[QUOTE="witzend, post: 76050, member: 99"] I'd be sorely tempted to close up the house and get a pet sitter. Even as well as L is doing, I won't have her watch our house or dog. She makes it pretty easy, to tell her no, though, because she point blank tells us that she feels our requests to do things like be home to walk the dog before midnight when you have been gone all day. How [i]stupid[/i] are we, anyway, that we think that the dog should actually be taken care of in the early evening when he has to go potty and has gone for a walk for the past 10 years? I am able to tell her that we agree to disagree, and she just can't do it for us. Of course, now that she isn't living in her boyfriend's 4000 sf McMansion, she might decide she'd want to do it. I hope not. I'll still say no. It seems to me, from the safety of her office, it's your difficult child's therapist's job to believe in his successes. It should also be her job to understand that you don't have to have the same level of optimism that she does. [/QUOTE]
