[quote=Anonymous]I'm only in my second year of hosting but often feel the same way. Even as an extrovert, after a long day of work, getting kids to activities and trying to make it through the bedtime rush, I have little energy left for interacting with another person. Agree with others that more boundaries for nuclear family time is useful - especially on weekends. My AP also does tend to bring up small trivial matters RIGHT when we are trying to get kids out the door or toddler is having meltdown. A bit strange to me, but I guess she's around them all day so there is never a really good quiet time to connect. I do ask her to bring issues to weekly check-in meetings, or email me with more indepth questions that I can respond to by email while at work. Our AP is a super homebody and is around all the time, so I think it's important to keep things balanced so we can stay in the program successfully. [/quote]
