That's amazing advice! I think I'll play it exactly as you've suggested. My own thoughts were to work on a compromise. I know I've said to her that I want him on the Tuesday night after I get back from my holiday but I would settle for having him all day on the Tuesday with him going to her house to sleep at night. Obviously I'm not going to offer her that compromise at the outset though but it may be interesting to see what she comes up with.
I think we were really starting to get our feet in the door with regards to a friendship but there is a serious danger of blowing all that hard work tonight. Fingers crossed we can both come out of this smiling.
I got her birthday present from Wee Man home today. It's a gorgeous canvas of him sleeping. I'm very pleased with it and I know she's going to love it. If nothing else, it may work as a bit of a peace offering.
