my FSIL slept over today, and we were supposed to go out on my other FSIL's boat, but due to the weather... now we're not.
Well, now she's sleeping on the couch. My FH suggested we go mini golfing, which I would love (we've actually never done that before), but she doesn't want to go. He and I are also due to go on a 'date' to go see 'Over the Hedge', but I want that to be me and him alone since we never get to go on 'dates' - and he was sick last week for our engagement anniversary. So, now I would just rather be alone with him doing either mini-golf or the movies alone with him, and she doesn't look like she's leaving anytime soon. . She's 25. My FH just went to the gym. This whole situation is grating on my nerves... that and she never makes the bed when she sleeps over. Bed's still not made upstairs.
What do I do? How do I give the hint that I'd like an alone day with my FH?

Re: aggravated about today... what do I do?
Why can't you just say 'well, since we're not going out on the boat, I think FH and I are going to take advantage of this new found free time and celebrate our engagement anniversary, since we missed it last week. I guess we'll see you later!' and just go. Hopefully, she'll get the hint - if not, just leave her to nap on your couch and go out anyway.

I think that's a good suggestion, but my FH asked before if I wanted to go see Over the Hedge, and I told him that I wanted that to be just me and him. I feel like if I said that to her, he would get mad at me for making his sister feel uncomforatable, because now she's alone today, blah, blah, blah...

oy. I understand where he's coming from, but she's 25, she can handle a day alone. Especially if she's just napping on the couch, it's not like she's doing anything with you anyway, and there's no reason you should have to sit around at home because she's just sleeping.
well, good luck!

okay... I just asked FH if he wanted to see Over the Hedge tonight on a little date, and he said yes. So that suggests she'll be leaving sometime before the sun goes down. That will make the daytime seem more bearable, whatever we end up doing.
