[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need your own rental car - food from the grocery store - feed your kids before the party - take them - have husband leave with them at 6:30 when they are tired - and you stay. we've done this or YEARS [/quote] +1 Split up the parents. Split up the kids if necessary. Mom goes to all the events without kids and can focus on family. Dad focuses on kid needs. Dad can arrive at brunch after baby finishes the nap, or leave early to put kids to bed. You need to figure out how to do this, because as your kids get older, they will have different needs. When they are a little older, you should let your kids have a break by taking them to a park or the zoo - something kid focused where they can run around. My husband always did this when we visited my family, plus he'd take along the couple other kids similar in age.[/quote]
