Mum, can I ask a favour?

You know how you were going to send me a hotel gift certificate… is there any chance you could just transfer me a few hundred dollars instead?

There’s some professional training I’d like to do

Matt doesn’t have to start paying child support until the divorce is final and I can’t quite squeeze it into my monthly budget

MUM

I’ll do it right now

But I’m going to send you that gift voucher too

You should do something nice for yourself, sweetheart – not just to keep your head above water

FIONA

This is for me. I promise.

Happy Thursday x

I was thinking: would you like to set some ground rules for tonight?

So you can feel comfortable we won’t go past a certain point?

FIONA

This is both the sweetest and the most embarrassing thing I’ve ever been asked

SATOSHI

Don’t be embarrassed!

Having clear boundaries might help you feel like you’re in control
