Thanks Marlene - very funny about needing the practice

But my angst about this really is more frustration with my friend over other issues than with DSD or this issue inparticular. I should have thought it through a bit more before posting and rephrased it along the lines of "how d'you deal with a friend(s) who you think are unsupportive." I just got sidetracked with the babysitting thing when there's been bigger issues brewing with this friend for some time. But not to worry, I think I've figured out what to do about that one.

Good luck with your DD, I hope everything is reasonably well. I'm not on BB as much as I used to be so haven't read the latest for a while but hope everything's OK.
