[quote=Anonymous]The question that sticks in my mind is what was OPs toddler doing yesterday that exhausted her so much that she had bags under her eyes and was falling over?

Was the whole day or a large part of it spent celebrating with OPs parents? Was toddler running around and having so much fun yesterday with OPs family that she burned up all her energy? Did she miss her nap? Extend bedtime?

Did OP & her husband agree that "It's Christmas Day...let's bend the routine so she/we can enjoy our time with wife's family, so the grandparents can spoil her, etc?"

If so, and then OP insists they bug out early from husband's family because the routine is so important or because toddler MUST nap at home and it is so much more important than a few minutes more at HIS family, then I could see husband not stepping in. I can see MIL being annoyed if you let her know that was why toddler was too tired.

If the roles were reversed, and it was your family getting the day after celebration and husband was insisting upon leaving early because toddler was too exhausted after a fun, exciting day with his family, I 
bet both you and your mom would be upset too.
