Im not blaming the client, im saying, she made the bed, now lie in it. Blame doesnt enter in.

Eta - i love this bed metaphor. The client is saying the t messed up the bed, but they both contributed.

I also like the bed metaphor because i think a major question many of us face is, what do we do if our partner cheats on us? Do we stay and work it out or just immediately cut it off?
