[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think your schedule is unusual--but are you very "hard core" about it?   Meaning, whenever a family party/dinner/event is planned, you jump right in, mentioning your kid's "schedule" and how everyone else must be a "slave to the nap" and fit everything around it?  If so, maybe that annoys them.[/quote]

Op here - nope not really.  Though perhaps we were more so when DC was a less reliable sleeper.  However, most recently at T-giving we made it a point to let him stay up (since most of the ILs don't like to get up until it's basically his nap time so at least they could see him in the evening), but he just gets tired and cranky by 8, generating - you guessed it - more irritating comments.

Also, when we went on family vacation this summer, we ALWAYS had to eat alone because they did not want to a accommodate DC's "early" schedule (ie dinner at 630/7).  Most mornings, we went out to breakfast on our own so as not to make a ton of noise in the house in the mornings while everyone else slept.  We decided we will not do that "vacation" anymore.  Basically, this has been brewing for some time.  Mind boggling to me since my own parents make it a priority to see DC even if it means "early" dinner.

Thanks for all the tips everyone.  [/quote]
