[quote=Anonymous]I have totally been there, and I say this as I am DREADING my own trip home this week. Yet, I continue going because it means the world to my parents to have their grandchildren with them. The good news is, it may be a tough few days but you will get through it, and then you go home and get back to your normal routine. And, if you don't want to go next year, don't. I have one fairly sensitive kid too (my oldest), and what helped most is carving out some family time for just us during the week. We go to a local park, the mall or for walks just to get away from the crowd at my parents' house. And, I try to keep my kids on their schedule as much as possible which also helps prevent meltdowns which makes everyone miserable. Hang in there![/quote]
