[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 329082, member: 3444"] Well I'm one of the parents with PITA kids today -- both the easy child and difficult child kind, unfortunately. I think it's just too much time together combined with lack of sleep and too much excitement. difficult child 2 is bouncing off the walls today and very hyper. He was up at 4am and informed me he'd been waking every hour on the hour. Ugh. I scolded him and shooed him back to bed, shutting his door. He stayed in until about 6:30am when easy child got up. Then they woke a grumpy difficult child 1 up around 7:30am (couldn't wait any longer). And since husband and I got up at 2am to stuff stockings and put out SC stuff, we were a little ragged today. My kids have been all very short-tempered, snappy and rude to eachother. I just had to warn them that one more nasty comment out of ANYONE and they would ALL be done for the night. That got them to change their tone and adjust their patience level very quickly! I did enjoy the time at my uncle's today. My difficult child Dad was the last to arrive with my mom and the first to leave/bolt. He practically barked at my mom when he was ready to go... ugh. Can't pick your relatives, can you? I'm glad to be home sipping some hot tea and finally working on my Christmas cards! :p [/QUOTE]
