Insist that you and Amanda sleep in the same room

"Amanda and I are married." You state. "We will be sleeping in the same room."

"This is my house." Janet responds sternly. "And you will be living by my rules."

"Mom." Amanda tries to come to your defence but it doesn't help.

"I have something special prepared for Stephen." Janet says. "Come and see."

She leads you and Amanda to the next room and pushes the door open.

The room is a nursery, decorated in pink and white. There's a cot against one wall and a fully-stocked changing table against another. There's are large toybox in the corner and dolls and soft toys are arranged on top of a chest of drawers.

"What do you think of Stephen's room?" She asks with a smile.

"Stephen's room?" Amanda asks in disbelief. "Is this some sort of joke?"

As you look around the room, you realise something. The cot and changing table are far too big for a baby. They are big enough for an adult. They are big enough for you.

"No. I'm serious." She says. "Every time you've visited, Stephen has left the toilet seat up and left puddles on my bathroom floor. If you're going to be here long-term I don't want to put up with that so I'm going to potty train him again. This time as a girl because girls never lift the seat or miss the toilet."

"Potty train him?" Amanda asks as you just look at Janet, stunned.

"Yes. Well eventually." She explains. "We are going to start from scratch. He is going to be my little diaper girl until he's forgotten how to use the toilet."

"But..." Amanda starts to argue.

"If he is not prepared to live here on my terms he can't live here at all." Janet states simply. "Now help me get him out of these yucky boy clothes and into something pretty."
