Her parents would have killed her - she needs to push boundaries and enjoys you not killing her - but does she want to be "killed"? I love how you opened the door and started to get her talking about how other people get angry with her...she's definitely working on something and I suspect it won't be the last of her "cancellations"!!Claudia Luizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10411636299100209197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1923249419959081206.post-50867031375085349122014-09-23T21:55:38.877-04:002014-09-23T21:55:38.877-04:00Thanks for commenting, Steven.

I read your blog, found it very thorough in discussing the various options for regarding cancellations, and thought we were very much on the same page. It does seem, however, that it is impossible to imagine every possible scenario and to capture it under one policy that we use in every possible instance regardless of the circumstances under consideration. I suppose that's because ours is an "impossible profession," where individual circumstances must always be taken into account.<br /><br />Again, thanks for your comments.

Despite this intention, however, I invariably find that I cannot enforce my own policy because it feels too rigid and unbending. But, as I stated in the blog, that may well be my own problem with enforcing rules, as opposed to a need to be flexible.
