FANTASTIC!
On the subject of our own kids not listening.. A number of Plains Indian tribes fostered out their kids after the first few years, so they were taught by their aunts and uncles, and tribal elders. It removes the emotional bias within the family.
I got far more respect and attention from the kids in Sea Scouts I was leading than I get from my SO's teenage boys. But then, I'm stuck with the damage their dad did. (sigh)
Anyway, Congrats to both you and her.
