Q: My in-laws insist that the kids need to stay up and participate in our entire Christmas Eve celebration, this goes until after 11pm many years, then they are so tired the next morning to really enjoy our Christmas?
A: If comfortable I would have you or your husband discuss your needs with them. Come to some sort of compromise. Maybe start the celebrating/presents earlier and then have an adult dinner later when the kids go to bed. Or focus on the kids for the beginning of the celebration and then when coffee is served have the kids go to bed and continue with the adults. Bottom line is that you have to look out for what is best for your children. Do the best you can to let the grandparents enjoy the kids and this time with them, but also respect your child's sleep and your families needs. They may just have to get over it.
