[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with everyone who said to let her sleep in your room or whatever to make sure she gets enough sleep because it’s so miserable to be exhausted for your whole vacation. I love my niece dearly but we won’t let her and DD share a room because she’s a terrible sleeper especially away from home. Like get up for the day at 3AM terrible.

I think encouraging your DD to deal politely during the day is the right thing too, but also letting her use your room as a retreat if necessary. I’m quite introverted and really like an hour to myself every day even around people I love. During college (since that’s exactly the same, ha,) I would read at a coffee shop or stagger my sleep schedule or whatever to make it possible but a 11 year old has those options.

My kid is the super excited, extroverted (ADHD too!) one in our group and I try to take her out several times every vacation just the two of us because it’s nice to have time with just her and also because I know she gots overwhelming. It’s fine, you can love someone and not want to spend every waking hour with them! [/quote]

This is great advice. [/quote]
