Well, my kids have a hard time adjusting to any change in the bedtime "routine", but it is even worse when we have others staying in our house at night. So when my in-laws stay overnight at our house (which is not often anymore) my kids go completely nuts and bedtime is a nightmare for my hubby and I. My daughter attempted to bite me last night which was really lovely. I am pretty proud of my response, which involved no yelling, and really seemed to have an effective resolution to the problem. She was not allowed to read books before bed, she just had to go to bed.
"Little girls who try to bite their mommies do not get to read books."
She just took a big breath and said, "Oh." She went to bed fine after that.
Tonight she was fine until it was time to get out of the bath. Again a fight, but kicking me this time. It's going to be a long week.
