[quote=Anonymous]Just do your best, and it’s OK to take breaks. It’s also OK to leave them to your husband. My ILs like to stay up “chatting” until 11:30 p.m. about the exact same things they’ve been “chatting” about with us for decades. The first night they arrive, I stay up and chat with them. After that, I consider time spent during the day to be more than enough hostess in. So after my kids go to bed at 9, I come downstairs, set up the coffee, say goodnight, and go to bed to watch Netflix and go to sleep early. DH at first was upset that “he had to entertain them,” but I said they get one night of entertainment and after that, they are visiting family who are free to make themselves comfortable, and if he wants to entertain, that’s on him. We have magazines and WiFi so I don’t feel the need to entertain grown adults beyond one night.[/quote]
