Previously DHs ex has stayed home Mon-Wed then worked Thus and Fri. MIL had pre-schooler on Thursdays then he was at nursery on Friday. MIL is now going into hospital and I'm taking over her day. When the holidays start I'll have both kids Thurs and probably Fri as well.
I volunteered and am delighted to be doing this but am wondering what I need to cover with the ex as I don't know any of the boys' school/nursery friends. Being with me won't be a treat like Granny but normal life and I've no idea what kind of play dates people do.
Should I just ask her to pass my details to her friends? Should I plan something now for the beginning of the holidays (ie. Invite some people over)? Or shall I just do my own thing with them?
