Miss Manners
Aug. 9th, 2002 10:16 amFrom Wedenesday's Washington Post:
Dear Miss Manners:
My fiance, Phil, and I have been living together for several months now. I became pregnant about eight months ago and have since developed some problems with social anxiety. Two to three times a week, Phil has friends over. I do not feel very comfortable around them and become nervous when they are over.
I have spoken with Phil several times about this issue, and he is then responsive and lets me know that they are going to leave at a specific time.
Sometimes these guests stay in excess of an hour or two past the prearranged departure time we set for them. Phil is too passive to say anything to the guests, but I am not, but also I do not wish to be rude in trying to "kick them out." We are basically looking for suggestions on how to make our guests understand when their presence in our home is no longer welcome,
effectively but nicely at the same time.
Hang on there: Help is on the way. Miss Manners knows a raft of reasonably polite ways to speed the parting guest but none so effective as handing them the baby and saying, "I'll be right back."</em

Too bad the guy in the harness isn't much to look at. ;-)

cheerfulchaotic)After a haircut (shorter than normal, though as virtualexile said, that's like the difference between 1/8th and 1/16th), and light dinner (mmmm, falafel), went grocery shopping for a large dinner I'm making for myself, virtualexile, lioncub, clunknj, and thefigurehead. Got several things, need a few more tomorrow in between making bread in the morning, and will be cooking a good part of the morning and the early evening. The menu is good, and I'm not going to spoil it for the NJ boys before they get served tomorrow evening. :-)
