[quote=Anonymous]If you need a retort, when they arrive at 4pm in broad daylight look around and say “Barbara if you had trouble driving in this much light maybe it’s time to give up the keys!” But I don’t think you should stoop to her level just because she was rude to you. Boundaries are your right but we can’t control how people respond to them. You have every right to have guests arrive at a time that suits you and all that is required is to say “4pm is the earliest that works for us” repeat infinitely. Make sure you say it in a calm, polite tone. You can— if forced to say it more than twice— say “Barbara. I feel like you might be having trouble understanding me: four PM is the earliest that works for us” but make sure your tone is always polite, so there is no running to your DH about how you were rude.
