[quote=Anonymous]Gosh, OP, i hope your DH recovers completely and without complications.

As far as your mom goes, I'd say that being specific is key.  If it is lunch, then you say "he'd like a chicken sandwich on toast with mayo lettuce and tomato" or "a medium bowl of the leftover fried rice with a water".  Put instructions on the washing machine.

Ask each of your boys to have grandma play a game with them (again, specific -- uno, candyland, whatever) and also help them with something (read a story, find something, organize something). Just involve her in every day life so she can relate to them better to make the month more fun. Heck, they can invite her outside to catch fireflies!

Can the nanny drop boys and grandma at the pool? Grandma can supervise while nanny comes back to do other things or hit the grocery.

(All of this is making me super glad I did not give in to my in laws' pleas to come "help" when DH had emergency surgery right as COVID started.)

Hang in there![/quote]
