My husband has 3 sisters who live fairly close to each other-perhaps about 15 minutes or so apart. They live from 1 hour to about 1 10 minutes away from us.
He also has 4 brothers, 3 of which also live about 10-15 minutes away from each other. The are about 25-30 minutes away from us. The last brother is about 2 hours away.
Friday for instance there was a birthday party for one of his sister's spouse. We picked up his brother and wife and then drove about another hour. (about 90 minutes on the road) I figured I was going to be the DD which is fine. We got to the party's location about 6 pm. At about 9:45 or so I wanted to leave-it was getting smoky, I was a little tired, my SIL wanted to leave to but her husband and my husband where having a good time. After much nagging on my part we finally left at about 10:35. After dropping my in-laws off we got home at a few minutes after midnite.
I was tired driving home as I am sleeping by 10 pm most nights.
This is not a one time occurence. Whenever the brothers and sisters get together it seems that we are always one of the last to leave.
"Nagging" do not work!!!
This is going to happen again on 12/22 as one BIL is having another birthday party at his house and then on 12/24 when we go to SIL's for Christmas Eve.
I am always so tired the next day-esp on Christmas when its supposed to ge a good time with my side of the family.
I've brought this up many times that I want to leave earlier-perhaps not the first person to leave but perhaps the 2nd or 3rd. How can I convince my husband to do so? Its not like we don't see these relatives we see them quite frequently.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I thought of just taking the car home and stranding him but that would probably backfire.
