I am up most days by 8am. Have two sisters staying with me, in their late forties, early fifties. They are here for 10 days, and are never up before 11am. I find it a bit annoying, as i dont expect them to be up at the same time as me as they are on their hols so to speak, but I think 11.30 is pushing it a bit, means that by the time they have showered and had breakfast it is about 12.30 which is about time i have lunch. It restricts what I can plan for us all to do as we only have the afternoon to work with. They also want to sit up till 12.30 or 2am when I am dying for my bed by 11pm. Should I/can I say anything without sounding unwelcoming?

I am worried that Fabby and I seem to be agreeing a lot lately.

We may have to become MN lovaiiiirs.

Just tell them you have planned something secret/nice and want them ready to go at 9.30.

actually lambrini is very weak and Hock is preferable. A weekend or two of drinking cheap german paint stripper wine it does grow on you.

If they view this as their holiday and don't have young kids then I'm not surprised they aren't getting up early. Having said that when staying with my brother and his young kids I tend to get up earlier than I'd like, mainly so I can give them a break to do stuff in the morning as I remember how I used to hate the early morning sprog watching. Did you use to get up early and help with their kids when staying with them before you had kids? If not maybe they feel they've done their share of childminding. I suspect though that it doesn't occur to them that you are bothered by the time they get up as it's the time they usually get up when on holiday. They maybe think they're doing you a favour by keeping out of the way whilst you are all rushing around the bathroom and kitchen.
If you want to do stuff I'd discuss it the day before "can we all be up by 9am as I'd like to get breakfast sorted by 10 so we can go to y. What do you think?"
