[quote=Anonymous]OP you need to understand that even if you get what you want, you won’t get what you want. Say they get up when you want. What happens if the kids spend breakfast whining and complaining because they wanted to sleep in? Will you be happy or annoyed? What if the lengthy breakfast means early bedtimes for everyone, so no playing games or watching sunsets with the grandkids. What if getting up early means your DIL needs a break (from her kids and likely from you guys) by lunchtime, right when you want to go out on a boat or head out for a hike? You think “this would be perfect if they just got up an hour earlier.” But (1) it will never be perfect, and (2) it might already be as good as it’s going to get. Be careful with your meddling. Don’t rely on others to make your happiness out of their misery. It never ends well.[/quote]
