[quote=Anonymous]I think you are missing an opportunity for your children to impress you.  You are setting the expectation on them that they need or thrive in routine.  We're not talking about Disney World chaos, but a bustling family vacation.

If you try to "keep your routine" while on vacation, you are probably setting yourself for a lot of stress, but try thinking about it as setting up a vacation routine, different than at home, but something workable.

Start practicing transferring one kid from one room to your house, and then back again in the middle of the night.  You'll get the hang of it.  See if there is an empty room to use for the bedtime hour or two at the cabin.

Start talking to your MIL about setting up a safe place for your kid with sensory issues to have some down time, ask your cousins about what games they like to play, and introduce your 3 yr old to them before you get there.

Try some of the foods your MIL is likely to serve before you go, even once.  If that is an issue for you.

Go with the expectation of fun, no matter how much work.  [/quote]
