answer:Did you give her some indication already of your issues? I know that you mentioned them here. I think that you have to be candid (as unsettling as that is) and tell her when and how you have to schedule the days .Immediately. Pick up the phone. Now. Don’t rant. Don’t apologize. Don’t mention her princess-like status. Keep it short and factual. (Keep it short.Be gracious.) Let her know when you two can socialize; ask her how she wants to program the time. Apologize for the inconvenience and bad timing, say that you wish it were otherwise, and ask her if she wants some suggestions for daytime activities. Check in with us if you start to get overgarrulous or riddled with guilt.
