[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here- we realized the apartment wouldn’t work- we have sides 3 days a week but they are bad. So we would fire them but only need them for 3 more weeks.  My husband is moving her into assisted living next month. 
   But it’s end of school year- ACT for oldest-  dance tryout for middle.  I need his help now!!
  I feel so angry but I know it’s not right. I don’t want to burden him with me being upset but I’m flat out pissed off.  I’m barely hanging on with juggling work and kids and all of us in house. I almost feel like it would be easier got him to just move in with her. Having him home and dealing with her stuff is worse.

You should have said you only wanted suggestions for that one month, OP.

You have every right to be stressed out, and stress can manifest as anger. 
Having him move in with her for a month would be a great idea!
Or he can perhaps request leave, if you think he can do more around the house or with the children during that time. 
Or, you can take some leave yourself, but that might be a last resort, given it's his mishandling of the situation, not yours.

On the house and kid front, you can slack off on the cooking and cleaning, but strive to maintain a calm house full of routine so your teen can focus on their ACT, and your other child can focus on their tryouts. This, for me, would be the TOP priority.
