I should really tell the Chancellery staff that my relatives can't simply invite themselves in when I'm meeting with MPs, the Chief of Staff and diplomats. Just today, my precocious niece offered her unsolicited opinion on a matter of public policy. Shortly after that, my nephew thought he had some brilliant idea about public broadcasting.
Blood is thicker than water, but these constant interruptions are ridiculous. How do you deal with your nieces and nephews?
I can't disown them, but they shouldn't just assume that Uncle Chancellor will grant them special privileges. I send them Christmas presents, for Violet's sake. Isn't that enough?
