It might be as simple as starting a class or volunteering somewhere; an obligation that you need to keep and they have to work around.

So far the gentle boundaries isn't working. I'm about ready to lay down on the floor and have an epic 2 year old temper tantrum except I don't think that will work either. Right now I'm just counting my blessings that my son has a new job and no more 60 hour weeks. Oh and that I can make it to my appointments and tests with out having to juggle for sitters.
