[QUOTE="totoro, post: 208305, member: 3155"] Fully makes sense. It was easy to do all of these things living in Idaho. No family around!!! We would go for a walk in the snow... leisure day. Like on Christmas. Now mother in law is claiming she gets it, but already she is *looking into* a lit up over the top festivity going on on Christmas. At a kids museum! All I see is a lot of kids, sounds, lights... chaos. Sensory overload and then, "hey lets go home and open presents" NOPE! I said to husband, "I was thinking more like a small hike in the morning to help burn off some of that excitement" Then come home and open the few presents we got. I also wanted to do the open the present over a couple of days, to take away some of the, freaking out, over the top crazy manic excitement! I have to be the bad guy until everyone *sees* it and realizes how hard it is on the girls. Which is not fair. I think I can do it though. Warrior mom... [/QUOTE]
