Ghost,

I hope my response didn't sound too judgmental. I certainly didn't intend it that way. It sounds like the two of you have a system that works well for you. If both of us made similar money (perhaps at some point in the future...) we'd have a good reason to revisit our arrangement.

Both of my kids enjoy movies -- especially animated ones. My son, who is older, will leave the room the second he thinks something scary is going to happen. It's pretty cute. \:\) My younger daughter will stay even if it is a bit scary.
