[quote=Anonymous]Do not feel embarrassed at all about the behavior.  Your children are very young and traveling is hard on kids that need strict food/sleep schedules (and some kids just do).

I definitely wouldn't expect family to revolve around young kids schedules but to be honest, my family is really good about this - some families are more attentive to young children and cater around them than others do.  Now that I am out of the thick of the hardest, youngest years, you bet I'm keeping this all in mind when I'm a grandma and will ask in advance for my kids/in laws when they are parents and I am the host!

As for how we handled it - ditto advice about pack and plays, packing small snack/dinners and white noise machines.

But a lot of times, DH and I just switched off and took the kids back to the main house/hotel earlier.  If it was DH's family, I was more inclined to hang back so he could be with relatives and vice versa.  We went to events but the kids usually didn't stay long.[/quote]
