[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you get anyone to babysit for you if you are this rigid about exact times?... And I say that as someone who loves a good schedule and tried to keep my kids on a general one whenever I could. But you know what life happens.... Holidays babysitters emergencies impromptu schedule changes things happen. 
Admittedly, I don't know much about this nanny camp thing, but is it possible the child was in the crib but just not sleeping yet?
I could not think of any circumstance in which I would watch my mother-in-law or my mom watch my children. If I felt I had to do that I would not have them. Maybe sit in the first place. She did not hold a gun to your head and tell you to leave. You could have still declined if you didn't feel comfortable. 
My husband used to lie about things with our first child because he knew I would freak the f out if he did not do exactly what I said.... We had to come to Jesus moment when I caught him lying and he said listen. I feel like I can't parent with you hovering about and needing everything to be exactly your way. It just doesn't always go that way. So I want you to be happy so I lie. We set some parameters and non-negotiables and we both were much happy and he is an amazing father with great judgment. If he puts the kids to bed a little bit later or feeds them something that I would not, it really does not matter. [/quote]

A kid waking up from a nap at 5 pm isn't worrying about exact times! I had bad sleepers and this would screw up their sleep for days. [/quote]

And how old are the kids now? Because once they're older, looking back on this, it all seems really inconsequential. In the moment it seems like a big deal because you're tired. But, when you're at Great Wolf Lodge its a good time to catch up on the sleep so you can go back well rested and better able to deal with bumps in the road like sometimes the schedule gets ignored. But it's really not a big deal in the end.[/quote]
