[quote=Anonymous]Ok OP, so you will NEVER go on any type of a vacation b/c it interrupts the routine????  I'm asking this b/c I used to be just like you.  The entire family thrived on a routine and it was MUCH EASIER for me to handle.  BUT, that meant NEVER going away.  NEVER doing anything different etc...  At some point you have to just jump in and do it.  I have 1 DS with MASSIVE sensory issues and 1 DD who hated the car (we had to stop every hour) and she throws up on airplanes.  It's not fun.  However, we have sucked it up several times to be with family.  We are very very careful about DS.  We are very forgiving and bend to give him what he needs (so some of our regular rules go out the window).  DD takes dramamine on planes and we do a ton of movies and stops in the car.  It's a pain, but it has to be this way if we want to go away ever.  When we do go away we all sleep in one room.  The first night it's difficult, but after that things tend to settle.  We all end up going to bed together (I let the kids stay up a little longer b/c honestly it's easier to put them to bed away from home when they are good and tired).  I would say you eventually have to give in and try and this time with the entire family may be a good place to start.[/quote]
