[quote=Anonymous]Op, I would not succumb to the rhythm of their house, not to this extreme. As as long as you are not extreme either, I would not feel any obligation to always be "on". Absolutely not. When you/your family are in the bedroom you owe no one an explanation as to what exactly you are doing. If they presume you're always sleeping - too bad. That's a poor reflection on them, that's all. Other ideas, go for a walk. Other times when you don't want to be available, wear earplugs. Say you're listening to a podcast, whether you are or not. Consider that you're teaching your kids something. Generally whenever a situation is uncomfortable and you hold boundaries -- you are teaching your kids something very important. You need to.[/quote]
