[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to own a preschool program in my house. I did have a child who would pitch a fit when it was time to leave.

I asked her mother to stay in the car, and I walked out the child and strapped her in her carseat.

Worked like a charm!

Tell Grandma to walk them out.

Could this work, OP?[/quote]

OP here. This would be helpful if she would do it. I've asked her to do this-- or to just have them ready for me to get-- and she doesn't.

I have spoken to my MIL before about helping me with the transition and DH has as well. Nothing ever really sticks and she doesn't do anything differently. I guess I am the one to blame, however, since I keep allowing them to go over.

In the past, I have called when I am on my way. I will be at least 30-45 minutes from her house. I have asked her if the girls are ready and most of the time she replies that they are either taking  a bath or are dressed and playing. I ask her if she can have them ready that would be a huge help and that she can walk them out. I get there though and she doesn't come outside. I walk inside and the girls if they were in the bath haven't been dressed yet, have wet hair, no shoes on and their stuff is everywhere. Even if they are dressed and their stuff is together, she doesn't ever walk them out. And yes, I have called the house to let her know that I am in the drive way and she still doesn't walk them out.

When she doesn't walk them out, I am forced to go in and get them. Normally it's the older two that get to stay the night and the younger two become fussy if they are sitting in the car for a while so I don't want to wait for her to come when it's obvious she isn't.
