[quote=Anonymous]Lol, no. If you try to force a bedtime on an adult who does not even live with you most of the time, you are just asking for trouble. I would express my feelings about the dishwasher (if you are living int eh house, you are contributing, and it's not okay to say you are going to do something and blow it off) but no way would I even imply that I wanted them in bed at a certain hour. It's just a fight you will not win. What are you going to do, go in their room and turn off the light if they stay up looking at their phone or computer? No. They're an adult.

I'd keep to my own normal, healthy sleep schedule, make and eat a delicious breakfast with the people up at a normal hour, and then plan enjoyable activities during the day while my college kid slept -- go see a movie, take a hike to a favorite spot, grab lunch at a favorite restaurant. If they are hurt to be left out, say you know they were up crazy late and didn't want to disturb them. But no way would I try to order them to bed or up at a certain hour. They are not children anymore.[/quote]
