[quote=Anonymous][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]

OP you should have written your OP better and included the fact that you go to everything BECAUSE of this. It doesn't change the answer (oh well, they're little, you leave when you need to), but you would have gotten a little more sympathy. [/quote]

OP's kids should not be whining at all. Good parents don't tolerate whining, and no one else should have to, either. OP needs to feed her kids beforehand/ keep them home/ teach them how to behave- any of the above.[/quote]

PP here. Also- this is exactly why I never include kids on invitations to friends, because I always get "why can't we also..." "they only need..." "maybe we could eat at..." 
No. Not invited.[/quote]
