[quote=Anonymous]IMO, your bigger problem is your family, not the ILs. When they are not around, you need to talk to DH, ask him if he understands the impact of their later night visits on your kids, and what he thinks is a good solution to minimize the disruption. Once you two have sorted it out, talk to the kids. I would tell your HS son exactly once that he needs to learn to prioritize his life, and decide for himself whether the tradeoff of staying with his aunt and uncle are worth it. Ask him if he wants you to provide an out, so that he can exit gracefully, and then do that. If he decides to stay up with them instead of studying, that's on him. The younger two need to understand that the rules are the rules, and you are going to accommodate them a little. Say, move the bedtimes by 15 minutes or 30 minutes. Let them know that there is no further grace, and wheedling and arguing with you will have consequences. Follow-through. [/quote]
