[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I dont know if anyone mentioned this because I didnt read the whole thread, but a part of the problem is that your 3 year old is spoiled as hell. There is NO WAY I would entertain a 3 year old at night like that. There is no back run and tucking in in the middle of the night. 3 is old enough to get up and potty alone often times, and if not at least cut out all the extras. Just accompany the kid to the toilet and go bakc to bed. But I'm skeptical they need help with that.[/quote]

I agree.  A 3yo should not be up multiple nights a week needing attention.  That is neither normal nor acceptable.  If 3yo needs to potty, s/he can do so solo.

The situation with the three year old speaks volume and tells me there is a lot more going on than OP told us about.  Most likely OP is the kind of parent who lets her kids do whatever and puts their needs first.  The DH isn’t supportive of this parenting approach but OP doesn’t seem to get this.  So he kind of shrugs and leaves it all up to OP rather than try to fight that battle.  So he thinks if the kids aren’t sleeping this is her problem.

He doesn’t say this at all. He says they are both fine with this level of need. OP, if you don’t have major time change issues I really think you can get better at sleeping in hotels. When my kids were little and up all the time I was so freakin tired that would have been heaven and I’m not a good sleeper. Can you get a workout in when you travel? Hard workout, light dinner, no alcohol, meditate, ear plugs, request a room in quiet location....[/quote]
