I might have mentioned that I have broken my elbow and wrist 
DH is doing his best to help, but frankly DH's help is, well, not that helpful. We have very different ideas as to what clean means and how things should be cleaned, for example, he spent almost two hours at the weekend cleaning the base of the food processor, the knife block and the kettle with an old toothbrush, which is fair enough, but while doing this, he wasn't sweeping and mopping the floors or cleaning the table or desk, all of which needed doing far more urgently, imo.
My mum getting sick of me moaning and hearing from the DC about how my arm was aching because I've done X or how I took my sling off to try and do Y, has booked in two weeks holiday and has been round for two hours every day cleaning, mopping, sweeping, tidying and being a general angel. Doing all things I am not able to do or struggle with.
She has also had the DC over to sleep twice a week to bath them because DD2 still won't climb out of the bath on her own (we have a tiled floor, it's very slippy when wet and she panics, this has gotten worse since I broke my arm) and I can't lift her out one armed, she is too heavy.
So, AIBU to think my mum is the best in the world? Oh, what gift would be appropriate to thank her, because she won't tell me what she wants, being able to help me is a gift in itself, she tells me
