[quote=Anonymous]First, I think it is important to be clear that neither the "morning pouncer" not the "slow starter" is objectively wrong in this situation. A similar post could be written from the opposite point of view, and I think has, about family members who expect everybody else to be quiet and inactive in the morning so they can sleep in and wake slowly. To me, a common area is a common area in a house and people should expect interaction and inactivity in those spaces. I often retreat to my own bedroom/office when we are hosts or hosted because I need quiet time. It is fine. Go get your coffee, say you are not all the way ready for the day, and go back to your room until you are. If people really follow you there, repeat that you are not ready for the interactions of the day yet. And also, consider adjusting your routine and preference, and simply accommodating for these short trips.[/quote]
