Dear DCP,

When your daughter with emotional problems arrives, I need ALL my patience to deal with her when I open the door and she's having her buckets of tears and/or temper tantrum. If you decide to allow her to knock constantly because I am tied up with a diaper, and you know perfectly well that this is the reason I haven't answered the door already, because the same thing happened yesterday, then you are setting us all up for problems.

Please, please don't deplete my patience BEFORE I've even opened the door!
