[quote=Anonymous]I have a neighbor friend, and we frequently get together to go for walks, take the kids to the park, etc. I enjoy her company, but she never wants it to end, and I need to get on with my day. For example: We drop our older kids at the bus, and go for a walk. We could walk for an hour, and when we round the corner of our block, she wants to keep going! Or if we are at the park for an hour, she suggests walking the long way home. In the morning, I wouldn’t mind a half hour walk, but then I want to get on home to clean up breakfast, go to the gym, run errands, etc. same with evening park trips. I want to get home! I can never think of a way to politely tell her I don’t have all day without hurting her feelings or coming across as disinterested. Last time, when we rounded the corner to come home and she wanted to keep going, I told her I needed to get home, and she was really disappointed. How can I tactfully get my message across?[/quote]
