[quote=Anonymous]I would - talk to your SIL and BIL ahead of time. Your niece will need to be reigned in sometimes. If they won't do it you need to. Have a set time at night when noise in the bedroom stops and the kids no longer interact or disturb each other. - talk to your dd, outline a plan. She needs to spend some time with her cousin. Come up with steps to take when she's had enough: tell her cousin "I'm going to do X on my own for a while". Provide her with options. Noise canceling headphones and permission to hang out in your room alone for a while. Maybe 30 minutes? Make it clear that she is not disturbed. - as a back up, take an air mattress and sleeping bag. If your niece can't let your dd sleep, then dd can go into your room. Your dd needs ways to deal with this, not avoid it.[/quote]
