M: Oh, no.
W: Oh, yes. Sometimes it takes me until 2:00 am just to get them settled down again.
M: Have you tried talking to them?
W: We havent even met them yet, except to say a quick hello. I hate to get off on the wrong foot.
M: You are not going to like them when you do meet them if you keep on simmering.
W: I know, but I feel stupid complaining. Its not as though hes blasting his stereo all night.
M: You said yourself its driving you crazy.
W: Well, you know how early I have to be here at the office. I just havent got enough sleep and neither have the kids. They are so irritable when I get home in the afternoon.
M: Maybe you could go over sometime with a little gift, a plant for the yard or something. Then you could ask about their son, whether they have other children, and they will be sure to ask about yours.
W: Yes, and then what?
M: And then you could mention that the hardest thing at this stage is getting your kids to go to sleep at night.
W: And keeping them asleep.
M: Thats the idea and you should do it soon. The longer you wait, the harder it will be to do politely.
