[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thank you for the responses. DH is great about addressing things in the moment: “No, it’s fine for Caroline to go ride bikes with her friends; you’ll have plenty of time with her tonight and tomorrow.” “Yes, Jessica is going into the office today—I told you before we made plans for this visit that she can’t take off a lot of time.” “Mom, we’re all beat—we’re turning in early tonight.” But if other posters think an official come to Jesus is for the best, I guess we’d rather try that than just shut them out.[/quote] I'm a +1 on an official come to Jesus chat. I think you acknowledge what they expect and then simply say that it's not possible to do that anymore and explain that you need to be more casual, but something will be planned for dinner/lunch/breakfast (or whatever you choose) every day and then make sure the whole family is there unless there's something that really can't be put off. Good luck.[/quote]
