[quote=Anonymous]First, I think it's a great plan to get there a little early so that DC can warm up to grandparents first, then add others into the mix. Second, I think you and DH need to have a plan for what consequence will be for predicted problem behavior. If you predict they will be critical of DC, have a few mantras ready, and a game plan ("That's not something we ask of our child. Larla, let's head to our room for some story time!") Plan some escapes. Know where all the places are in walking distance if you won't have a car. Have a routine where you put DC to bed and YOU stay with her in the room reading/decompressing and DH can stay and socialize with siblings for a while. Most importantly, you need to get on the same page and agree that DH backs you without question while there. If he wants to fight about something, he can have that fight back in the states, but there can be NO chinks in the armor in front of these unstable relatives.[/quote]
