I found my in-laws to be very rude -- they didn’t even try to be pleasant or get to know my sister. They are usually very chatty people.
GENTLE READER: There are likely many things at play here. Your in-laws clearly feel at home in your house and that they are free to come and go as they please. And they may have thought that they were giving you and your sister some time alone to catch up.
But Miss Manners agrees that they should have said that before rudely disappearing for the night. “Please excuse me, I’m tired” or “I have some work to do,” followed by “I’ll let you two have some time to yourselves,” would have been polite. At which point, your protests to stay could be met with gracious compliance -- or at least a more convincing excuse than checking their stocks on the internet.DEAR MISS MANNERS: Our babysitter’s mother picks her up in the evening.
