[quote=Anonymous]Learn the difference between “I feel obligated” and “she expects me to.” Why are you putting responsibility for YOUR feelings on HER shoulders? All you have to do is let her know when you want them home: 9:30, 10 p.m., whatever. That’s pretty simple. “I’d like to turn in a little earlier tonight, so could you please have them home by 10? Thanks so much.” Or, let them stay out until 11, but then simply greet them, say “Thank you so much—pardon my yawns, I need to get to bed.” Again, why is this hard? Or maybe the trade-off for her being so generous with your time is that you can, very occasionally, stay up until 11:15. There really are bigger problems in life.[/quote]
