R2C is dead on here. Tell her "I'll be home at X;XX" without any explanation. The fact that it happens to be an couple hours earlier so the need for D18 to babysit is moot is just fine. That way you are making sure you get what you want, without her feeling like you caved or whatever. R2C is a very wise man.
