[quote=Anonymous]Sounds like you are visiting too, which makes this easier. I would do all day activities together - breakfast, pool, beach, lunch (you take 1 year old to nap and DH stays with 4 year old and plays card game with grandma). Dinner all of you and then pjs, teeth brush and books in grandma’s room. She “watches” them overnight and up to wake up time. Kids get a sleep over. You get a “free” night with instructions that grandma can call for anything.

You all wake up and have breakfast together.

I would not trust anyone to watch my two kids by a pool solo. I really prefer 1:1 coverage in a pool. Little one has to be held the entire time. 4 year old is not 12. You need someone who shares your sense of diligence when it comes to pools.

Side note, your husband’s family needs to talk about he diminished mental state. It’s easy to dismiss as “flakey” and “absent minded” but getting off at the wrong stop and get to flustered (not oh shoot, let me call and let them know and then get on next train), mixing up dates and times, leaving water boiling on Stove for 45 min when you are making dinner. Those are all signs that she needs cognitive intervention. Much better to start that early rather than after a major incident [/quote]
