@merekas I think to a degree it's a face saving move. As in the reason they don't stay at home is it's expensive not that they really don't want to do it.
@ajewelinhiscrown What do I do? Suffer! LOL. I also have a chilled beer on standby when they do fall asleep and watch Die Hard with my favorite fritos and spicy salsa. (serious answer, I'm a SAHD and it's difficult.)
