[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Mary, Ted, we are very busy on weekend nights, between work and school. We'd love to have you, but frankly, we can only have you on weeknights if you can pitch in. If you can bring a pizza, we'll have salad and dessert ready. And please note that Timmy is going to do homework from 5-5:30, and will go up for a bath at 7:30 as usual. If you want more flexibility, weekends are much better for us."[/quote]

This.  You need to speak up.  While you can probably play a tiny bit with schedule - having bath later or not at all on visit day, etc, some things are necessary - homework, dinner, etc.  I would absolutely make it a potluck thing or takeout if it is in your budget.  And make sure it is Thursday rather than earlier in the week so you only have one school day to worry about.

Soon enough you child will have afterschool activities that keep you hopping and will curtail their time even more.  Would they consider taking him afterschool for a few hours rather than early evening?[/quote]
