I see: maybe I was reading into the text wrong - that she was saying, "Nevermind about compromising - I'm sticking to my guns, but don't think of me as being a biotch." ??? Is that how you take it?

Hmmm...

Now see, this is where Allen or Puppy would probably give better advice because I don't have as much experience in these exchanges. It's ridiculous that you have to have such a hard line when it comes to your vacation. That, to me, would be an exception to the week by week thing because it's not a frequent occurrence. Is this a legal agreement? You've probably posted that but I don't remember. If it's not a legal agreement, I think you should not let her get by with that - coaching or no coaching - or you are setting yourself up for some real frustrations down the road! You can be willing to compromise but still take a stand. BUT... I will leave that to Allen, lol.

I will go back and read the April letter.
