[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your family sounds pretty selfish. My siblings get up early, make coffee and enjoy time with their nieces/nephews! Often we are pushed back to bed to relax and parents/siblings cover the kids. [/quote]

This is impressive! Do your siblings have their own kids?

Be grateful you have such a helpful and engaged family - this is not the norm. [/quote]

This happens on both sides, so I wasn’t even aware people stress about this with family. Grandparents are literally fighting to get the kids to come wake them up instead of us. On one side siblings don’t have kids, but are super engaged aunts/uncles. On the other they do, so everyone is up together. Grandparents usually send the parents back to bed with coffee and wrangle breakfast with the kids even if it’s 5am. If they didn’t want us there we wouldn’t visit, but they do.

My point, is if it’s too stressful OP, don’t go!! Do what works best for you and your kids (which doesn’t involve shoving iPads in their faces at 6am.[/quote]
