Our kids are still on their yellow, althouth Josie is almost at orange, I think.<br /><br />About your mom... I think you're going to have to tell her the truth, to an extent. Tell her that *you're* not comfortable with her spending the night there, and *you've* said no. If she doesn't understand, and doesn't talk to you for awhile, think of it as a little vacation.Astartehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07337583910910454897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14290006.post-7380096922056068542009-12-07T23:11:51.689-05:002009-12-07T23:11:51.689-05:00Like the girl knows without you saying it, your mo...Like the girl knows without you saying it, your mom knows as well.

My niece is a sweet kid and says yes a lot of times but my mom is totally taking advantage of her.Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00648049238771250699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14290006.post-64896927224563228162009-12-07T17:40:29.055-05:002009-12-07T17:40:29.055-05:00Yep, you have to let the kids call the shots.

I'm sure on one level your mom is testing you to see if you'll "let" your daughter stay with her. <br />I'm sure you will have to tell the truth at some point.cheatymoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06328903955238115971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14290006.post-17767541513012280832009-12-07T16:30:37.186-05:002009-12-07T16:30:37.186-05:00well, glad your man did the right thing (per your ...well, glad your man did the right thing (per your suggestion) and that your daughter was appeased! gah. all this stuff is tricky! <br /><br />and happy the party was not dramatic! yay! but your daughter is rather smart and intuitive and wise to grandma's efforts. but maybe a balance can be struck. she will spend SOME time with grandma (satur-day, not including satur-night) and grandma needs to be satisfied with this. baby steps. best for all in this particular scenario! or at least that is what i think as an outsider!drollgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17098844996589898590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14290006.post-12728177920947151672009-12-07T10:28:00.116-05:002009-12-07T10:28:00.116-05:00I think your mom knows.
