[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I get you completely.

But several years ago, I just started being honest.  I told family guests that I really need an hour or so to drink coffee, go through work, and collect myself in the morning.

I felt odd doing it, but it was perfectly fine.  They said OK and there have been no problems since then.  I don't know what they might think to themselves, but I get my me-time and don't have resentment.

I will say this depends a bit on what time we are talking and for how long.  I tend to get up around 6:30-7:30, grab coffee, spend 30-60 minutes by myself and am ready for the day.  If you're showing up at 9:00 and don't want to interact with anyone until 11:00, that is a bit different...[/quote]

Not only was it perfectly fine but I’m betting the guests appreciated you for saying this.

As a frequent host and houseguest myself, with many different people, I have learned that communication about these seemingly minor issues makes all the difference. Just because you are close friends or relatives does not mean that you have comparable schedules
