Some quick clarifications since I'm on my handy at the moment.
@hoosiermama - the compare question was posed by Sassy Gal Pal friend of mine, not STBXMRSSP
@Coach - I wasn't clear - what I meant there was that SHE has real problems setting and respecting boundaries
@antlers - The comment was clearly provocational but I think it also wasn't, in the sense that it would seem to reflect this oddly adolescent notion she has that the Samantha character from Sex in the City is actually one worth modeling.
@CityGirl - I absolutely DO want her to be all the mother she can be. If you go back to the pp 98-100 dialog between @robx and @Puppy you'll see that the 50/50 was a strategem. I think your "college freshman" analogy is Dead On, by the way. And in fact it really helps to think of it in those terms, so thanks for that nugget. As far as House goes, maybe. I'm actually more reminded of the line from "When Harry Met Sally" - she's the worst kind; she's High Maintenance but thinks she's Low Maintenance.
