Hi Lisa: I certainly wasn't trying to make anyone feel badly for using the word "compliance'--just sharing my thoughts. (Although for me its use is like scraping fingernails on a blackboard!) I just say a mom discontinued A or B or the whole darn thing! Karen P.S. I have to say that since I've let go of assuming mothers' problems and ditched concerns re: "compliance," I no longer find myself feeling "burn out." (Cow-dependent no more!)
