[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP - I am not trying to say that everyone should revolve their schedules around me and my family, I simply think it would be nice to take young kids into consideration when planning things. DH’s family is very considerate in this respect so I know some families do this.

[b]I get major guilt trips for skipping events or leaving early since we rarely see everyone..[/b]. so if that’s the case why not just think about what may work for young kids - there are many in the family not just mine.

[b]And I also get comments about my kids whining at the dinner table etc which are super frustrating.[/b][/quote]
It sounds like you can't win either way. Just do what works for you [/quote]

Yeah. It's the bolded that's sucky for you OP. I have two little ones and just do what I need to do to keep them in good moods. If something conflicts with nap time we just don't go. It's not worth it to me to have whiny children ruining someone else's event and also be miserable for any evening things after. Also always have food they will eat packed in the diaper backpack. My 4 year old still naps and is amazing in the am and for a couple hours in the pm after her long nap. If we ever off schedule she's miserable. So we go with what works for her and grandparents think she's a cheerful child. [/quote]
