How much do you alter your kid's schedule for family events?

Everything goes to hell because I will do anything to soothe or placate my children at a function. Want candy? It's yours! No nap? Whateverrrr! Mommy is the most fun person ever! You can lose your shit at home later! Woo!

This is where I am with 2 kids. With one kid I tried to keep a semblance of order

Oh! I always bring pjs too. It keeps me from wasting my time dreading going home and wrestling their overtired asses into a change of clothes.

My daughter stopped naps the week her brother was born which was 2.5.  My son is 21 months now and he's pretty mellow and can go without a nap and usually not have a real melt-down, he'll just conk out by 7 though.

I just sort of went with the flow. J was an easy baby and toddler. Now I just make sure he's home on school nights by 7 for bed. He always fell asleep wherever we were so it worked out.

What's a "schedule"?
