My first tip about staying at a family member's home is, don't. Not because they don't love you when you don't love them, but if you are staying at somebody else's home, it's really important to understand their rules, understand their regulations, and to make sure that your kids understand that. If you stay at a home where they eat dinner every night at six o'clock, then you will have to be back by six for dinner. You have to go along with the flow but not your flow, their flow.
