[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 299365, member: 3907"] TM, When you describe the situation with your bff's daughter A constantly inserting herself into Duckie's activities, this statement leapt out at me... It strikes me that if your bff isn't quite as organized as she should be with regard to her kids, that she's trying to capitalize on your organization with Duckie. So rather than thinking "A would like to do that", or "That activity would be good for A", and going through the work of thinking and planning, she's just going with the "TM enrolled Duckie in such-and-such, I'll put A in there too" approach. Less work for her from a scheduling perspective, but not so good for Duckie. I wonder if you could try an experiment...try to limit the amount of information you give bff about Duckie's activities and schedule, and then see what happens with A. If she has no information to go on, perhaps A might end up in fewer of Duckie's activities. Just a thought... Trinity [/QUOTE]
