Whos house is it, anyway? You & your husbands or you step-daughters? Why go to such great lengths to try to please someone staying in YOUR house?!? Tell her to put up with it! After all, it isn't like she will be in your house forever! She is finishing up college! Tell her to close her bedroom door if she doesn't want them in there. Your fuzzies just want to be in there because they know they are not supposed to be in there! Your step-daughter (not your ferrets) is coming between you & your husband. [Posted in FML issue 2210]
