Prepping home for hosp stay - ideas/tips needed

1 reply

WhiteRosesInMyDreams · 10/10/2025 10:42

My eldest has been in hospital for a week & will hopefully have a few days at home next week until she has to go back in (possibly for quite a while, it’s looking serious).

I’ve been with her in hospital, plus DH alot of the time, and we have 2 younger children (pre teen and teen). DH or I might not be physically around much for them going forward. We’re hoping my MIL will come and stay to help.

What can I do in those days when I’m back home next week, to get the house etc ready for when I’m not around.

All I can think of a doing a big shop and stocking up with food. What else could I do to make things easier for my DC and MIL.

Please can you help me with practicalities. I’m exhausted and can’t think straight.

Maybe have a list of what they need for school each day like gym kit etc if they tend to forget them.

If there is any machine in the house that there is some trick to get them to work.
