[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think then ask her for a few specific things a day.[/quote] Exactly. Could she do some loads of laundry? Would she change the sheets on the kids beds? Would she vacuum the living room and then dust? Could she make some lasagna to put in the freezer? Could she start dinner (and then tell her exactly what you want and how to do it)? All of those are things that she can do in the safety of your home. I get it, OP. I would be frustrated and frazzled, too. I think the PP is on to something, though. Hopefully if you give your mom some suggestions within her comfort area she'll be more helpful.[/quote] All of this, plus put it in a notebook like most of us would do for a new person, especially for a foreigner. OP seems to expect her mother to just figure everything out. Please write out the few things you know your mother can best accomplish. Careful about criticizing how she’s doing everything.[/quote]
