I don't think it's rude to go away when there are people in your house and you aren't feeling social. When you live this close to this many people, you have to allow yourself to get away from them when you need to. I do it all the time when you guys are at my place. Maybe some would think it's rude, but it's not half as rude as I would get if I had no escape. So next time, go ahead and go away, or kick us out. We've done it to you people before, we won't be insulted. :)
And as to the baby talk (someplace more lively indeed, just wait until the babies are actually here), now you know how some of us feel when the rules talk starts up. Or the obscure sci-fi show talk, or the political talk, etc. :) Hoshiadam used to spend five hours at a time talking to his friend Devereaux about Five Rings miniatures rules - I've found that the best thing to do is have a conversation with someone else, find something to do, or flee. Conversations are bound to come up from time to time that interest some people more than others, after all, it can't be avoided.

My two cents.
