[quote=Anonymous]I really think you need to go.  If she is anything like my mother, there is no greater joy for her than seeing all her grandkids together in one place.  It sounds like you have declined many invites in the past, so I think you have used up your good will in that regard and need to suck it up for three days.  It might even be fun if you can let go of this assumption that it will be a disaster.  I find with travelling with two kids and their issues (because they all have issues) I tend to overthink everything in advance, and focus on worse case scenarios, and the reality is usually never as bad as I fear that it will be.  I think camping would be a great option for Dad and DS1- a fun adventure for them and a way to get peace & quiet as well. or putting him to sleep in another room where he can sing himself to sleep and then carrying him into the room with the baby.  Even though he would be heavier to move, older kids sleep deeper so you run less risk of him waking than if you moved the baby. If you talk yourself into being miserable, you will be miserable.  Focus on the positives, this will be a great way to see a bunch of relatives at once and then you will be off the hook for doing this kind of thing for a few years.[/quote]
