[quote=Anonymous]We did some flexibility when our twins were young.  If we were in your situation, we would feed them on the way over to Grandma's.  At bedtime, they would change into pajamas.  When the first meltdown that wasn't soothed quickly happened, we would pack up and leave.  So, we would start dinner around 7:30ish and get about 45-60 minutes of dinner before the we needed to leave.  We (Mom and Dad) knew well enough so we each took about 15-20 minutes to eat and we ate in shifts, one watching the kids while the other sat, ate and chatted with family.  When we left, we put them in the car and they would fall asleep part way home and then I could transfer them to their own beds.  Yes, on holidays, our kids sleep schedule was knocked off a bit and it might take us several days to get it back on schedule, but we did our best to accommodate the family schedule without making everyone else change their schedule for us.

I understand that this doesn't work for everyone, but we took the conditions we were given, did the best we could, flexed where possible and left when our family situation required us to leave.[/quote]
