[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op it seems to me that everything will be a no unless everyone does as exactly as you say.

It seems that the big issue is that the sibling wants the cousins to wake up together and you don't want them to because of the reasons you have given and you aren't going to bend on this issue.

You are going to have to tell everyone else how it will be and then let what happens,  happens.  Others have given numerous suggestions such as wear ear plugs, your husband can retire when he is tired and none of this is good enough.

So your only option left is to let everyone know how Christmas will be moving forward, all while you live in someone else's house.  I get that its tough but you won't answer questions on what the grandparents think.  I guess sibling will be disappointed but if you aren't willing to bend you need to just let everyone know.  Tell the sibling it isn't happening this year and tell the in-laws they will just have to deal with it.

If this situation is going to continue this living arrangement may not work long term.  You still haven't said what the grandparents want to do, it is their house, what do they want?[/quote]

OP here,

I have answered multiple times that the grandparents were happy with the original plan, but are sad that their child is upset and have asked us to problem solve, saying they would love to find a solution that makes everyone happy.  When I made suggestions (e.g. we leave so sibling can visit overnight here, or they visit overnight there) they said they’d be fine with those but sibling has said those solutions aren’t better.  My FIL is worried about MIL (high risk) and covid.  [/quote]
