[quote=Anonymous]MB here, who is utterly with you on the importance of schedules OP.  I have twins and maintaining a schedule was the only way I survived, and it clearly worked for the kids also.

When she makes a comment about his behavior can you say something like "Well, you know I'm pretty strict about his schedule and even if he doesn't like I think it sets him up for more success in managing his behavior.  And it makes my life and job easier and happier!"

Can you find a good sleep chart you can share w/ her?  I have one that was my bible, that very clearly lays out appropriate nap times and length at various ages, etc...  It was a fantastic toolm and it came from "experts" so it was useful to show certain other key adults in their lives that it wasn't just me nagging about the schedule.  :-)

If she's open to this kind of conversation then hopefully she would listen to your advice.  If she's not, then you have a bigger challenge.

If you decide you're fed up could you come help me figure out how to survive what I'm hoping is normal 3 1/2-4 yr old behaviors around tantrums, bedtime struggles, nightmares, etc...?  My previously fantastic sleepers are suddenly exhibiting all kinds of problematic bedtime stuff.  Argh!!  :-)
