Peg Kerr's Journal

I agree with the others that you should keep your office, and let Fiona carve out a private as-needed space somewhere else (or even a changeable space, depending on what other people are doing at the moment. Might even involve her sitting on the porch or the back yard if the weather is reasonable). However, if she expresses interest in a 'divider' of some sort in her room, maybe even a Japanese screen of some sort, you can make "getting rid of stuff" the obvious requirement, pointing out that it won't work otherwise.

I remember entering the want-to-cry-for-no-reason stage, and it was unnerving. Time to start finding some books on the subject for her, maybe.
