[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. It’s not just the kids, but I would like to be able to walk around in my pajamas and relax in my home after 9pm. I think the hour bedtime routine is more than enough time for DH and his mom to catch up. They can go out for dessert for all I care. But once it’s time to settle down, why can’t she leave? It’s rude. [/quote]

My ILs like to stay up late and talk during their visits; DH likes to catch up with them, too. But if their visit extends to weeknights, I don't participate in that portion of the evening. After the kids are in bed, I go downstairs, chat nicely as I set up the coffee machine, say goodnight, and head up to read, take a shower and go to bed. I sometimes put in soft ear plugs or run a white noise machine if their chatting is bothering me.

Why aren't you TAKING this time for yourself? It's not like she can give you ten demerits if you don't stay up and chat![/quote]

And by the way, I should add that DH fully participates in bath and bedtime, because DUH. [/quote]
