[blparent] Help before 7:30 Arizona Time Please

[Dena Wainwright]

Hi Gabe.

Well, it is definitely before 7:30 Arizona time :). I actually do think I 
might consider keeping her home from the trip. It seems like you've tried 
many other things, including talking calmly with her about things. I think, 
particularly since a razor is involved, I would make the consequences more 
severe, because the blade could have hurt her, or someone else in the house.

I also think I would make the punishment a big ticket item, since we're 
talking about an emerging pattern of lying, and, honestly, trying to take 
advantage of your blindness. E.g., I can do things and daddy won't catch me 
because he won't see what I'm doing, or where the razor is."

Please let us know how it goes.

Dena
