I admit that the little terrors can be a trial sometimes, especially if they aren\'t feeling well, but you get that even when they are at school. You aren\'t the kids personal entertainment unit...

The short version. It comes up during the conversation that he and his wife are staying up kinda late. I ask why and I get the standard, by the time they are fed, bathed and put to bed there is no \"me/us\" time. Then he asks me, when am I suppose to? (have me time) I told him after you get them out of college and start them on their own path you should start so see some free time in your schedule. Suck it up, stop whining.
