RTL, I was thinking about your W's reaction to the ear piercing debacle. You know, eventually sfter the D is final she is going to have to realize that you will do waht you want and think is right when you have D and she will do what she thinks is right. Of course it is absurd to think that a Dad would get a 5 year olds ears pierced but your W better start facing what D really is and realize she will have no right to say anything about what you do afterwards. It seems wierdly like this is all more about doing all this to punish you for something than Divorcing you.
