[quote=Anonymous]Just remind them that the school year brings tighter schedules, homework time, and more casual dinners since the kids are off the bus at 4:30 and in bed by 8. Then if they come, do it. They were warned. Give them a casserole and remind the kids that there is no fussing when you say bedtime. They will quickly see that weekday evenings are not for them. As for weekends, maybe say one weekend is visiting your family, DH can (or cannot - his choice) take them to his family, and the other two are for your nuclear family activities, attending birthday parties or sports, outings etc.[/quote]
