[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Definitely a hotel this time, Mom. And remember I go back to work on Monday, so don't plan on seeing us after the pizza party (or whatever the last event is). I don't know what did or brother might have planned, but we need to regroup Sunday evening and won't be having anyone over for dinner." Etc.[/quote] This is direct and to the point - keep your explanation simple and be ready to repeat it as needed. I have had parents pressure me and I found it easier to stick to what was best for my family by reminding myself I was standing up for my children. Yes, they need a bedtime and routine (a complaint I've heard too, OP) - and it's okay to say no to family when they want things that disrupt those needs. It's also okay to say no for yourself, though I know that can feel a lot harder to do.[/quote]
