[quote=Anonymous]Does he have less of a power struggle with other adults? If so, for the next trip (or even the rest of this one with grandparent), it may be worth getting creative on childcare support. I find that power struggles with my 3 year old sometime intensify on vacation because of so much togetherness. Now I've started focusing on spending quality time together doing the things she loves most and then using a babysitter for things like dining in a nice restaurant at bedtime that are asking too much of her. At first I felt guilty needing childcare on a family vacation, but now I see it as setting the child up for success. Can grandmas watch your son while the rest of you have restaurant dinner one night? Does the hotel have a babysitter that could provide a few hours of outdoor playtime to burn some energy while you and partner get a break? And then go have your magic ocean time together just you and DS.[/quote]
