In order to extract ourselves from her company I said I was sure my son was getting on her nerves and it might be best to do separate activities. Its an unwritten rule you can never criticise someone else's children.<br /><br />Moot points are often filled with great wisdom.<br /> Fizzfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15690612271163437496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911650226122086220.post-20822013091348898272017-09-28T20:05:36.278+01:002017-09-28T20:05:36.278+01:00Yeah, I've always had large bedrooms. I think ...Yeah, I've always had large bedrooms. I think it's just luck although possibly with being tall people assume I need lots of space like a giraffe or something.<br /><br />Oh gosh, yes I wouldn't "kick off" about it. Just make sure they know I'm there.<br /><br />What did they say? Something like, if there's drinking and adult conversations they wonder if it would be a good idea having a child around?<br /><br />It turns out I didn't sleep that well last night. If it happens again tonight, lunch might be preferable to cycling anyway, so I'll file my suspicions under "moot point".Profound Familiarityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12327758193177032803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911650226122086220.post-86081428563403111382017-09-28T17:07:49.911+01:002017-09-28T17:07:49.911+01:00You must have a massive bedroom......and hallway! ...You must have a massive bedroom......and hallway! I suppose you could have a bounce between rooms which might be nice.<br />I don't like people changing plans, but I'm too polite to kick off. The worst one I remember was when a gaggle of us girls had arranged a long overdue getogether and one of them asked if she could bring her daughter along. We all thought hell NO but only one of us had the gumption to say it, although not quite in those words.<br />Family's a bit to close for comfort to be picky though.
