I tried that last summer. The only time she's "downstairs" is for sleeping. She would be up in the main part of the house all other time. It just became known as "Mommy's bedroom". Ss would go down in mornings on W/E to wake her up, just like they did when she still "lived" upstairs. She would make herself present in all other aspects of daily life.

Even now, she does so. She can be just as plesant as can be. If you were to walk into our house at an given time right, you wouldn't we were in the process of D. Except when something comes up like her starting to use the boys' bathroom to get ready for everything this W/E. It just got to me. I ended up making some smart a$$ comment. Ya, I know. I'm not supposed to. I just get pi$$ed off sometimes.
