[QUOTE="Andy, post: 382204, member: 5096"] It sounds like now is not the right time for grandparents to enter the picture. I know they want to show support and be there for both difficult child and you. Are there any errands you can send the ex-inlaws on? Can they go out and look for a new outfit for difficult child or something? Just to give them something to focus on and keep you from feeling you have to have something for them? Have your mom in charge of your meals - when/where to eat. Giving the grandparents jobs that will help you will make them feel that they have a purpose in difficult child's recovery and will give you more time to focus on difficult child. Ask one of them to contact room service if new towels are needed - how about ask one of the grandma's to set up nutritional snacks in the room for all of you? They can go out and do that sort of thing - you do not need to play hostess at this time - they are there to take care of you. [/QUOTE]
