[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My other petty vent, SIL's kids are up and asking for breakfast. Just told them I don't know where the cereal is and they should go wake up mom and ask. :-).[/quote]
As a parent I would not think that I need to wake up with my 10 year old 5th graders. I also wouldn’t expect that their aunt wouldn’t tell them where the cereal was if they asked. You need to stop vacationing with your extended family.[/quote]

Seriously, this. My kids know how to pour cereal and that they may work on the puzzle we have going, read, or have 30 minutes of screen time if Mom and Dad are still sleeping. They know to be quiet (especially with footsteps on wooden staircases and to whisper, not talk) if others are sleeping.

Imagine the aunt would wouldn’t be able to open her mouth and say, “Feel free to help yourself to cereal if you are hungry” and instead would rather stew and complain about two adults with old-enough kids daring to sleep in on vacation.

Now, if my kids were legitimately bothering people by being loud or whining about wanting aunt to make French toast or something, by all means send them back to the room with me. But that would never happen.[/quote]
