But I’m worried that as she gets older there’s going to be a real, unavoidable medical need for her to swallow a real pill and she won’t be able to. so I was limited to ones that weren’t available in a child-friendly liquid, and was unfortunately raised in the age of ANTIBIOTICS FOR EVERYTHING ALL THE TIME! ) And my oldest child — also ADHD and an oral motor/sensory nightmare as a toddler — also just…learned to swallow a pill when push came to shove.

I don’t know if it’s parenting guilt or if it’s about trying to please the kids, but I have found that shorter trips to Disney tend to be the most stressful. Here’s the way I like explain it to all those who haven’t visited Disney before: if you take a trip to NYC, you don’t typically book a hotel in New Jersey. Lastly, you don’t have to pay for parking if you stay at a Disney World hotel, which is between $25.00 (Standard Parking and $50.00 (Preferred Parking) per day.

I don’t want to stubborn my baby out of possible great relationship with them, but I also want to protect them from (potential) crazy. So I personally wouldn’t put too much stock in their reputation as good grandparents, and continue to make in-law related decisions based on your own first-hand knowledge and experiences with them. (And wondering what they’re saying about you anytime your husband isn’t around to translate, which seems like a special kind of crazy-making.) I wouldn’t open this box of in-law worms with a 10-foot pole of worm poison without a very, very compelling reason. Instead of viewing this mess as denying your child a relationship with his/her grandparents, realize you are indeed protecting him/her from a potentially toxic relationship with some very cruel people.
