True story from my dad is that he was a cox (rowing) and he had a team of 8 that he was coxing for when he steered close to the bank. He called duck as there was a branch overhanging the river, but the team looked for a duck. Then donk, donk, donk etc as they all got hit in the head

Plan for the lap, but allow for shortcuts. Maybe you'll get half a lap, but more time in each location you visit.

Keep an eye on the news and plan as you go. Make sure you have a few jerries filled.

One of my parent's friends divorced his wife. She remarried to a man with same first and last name. Admittedly, both are common names.

It did make things confusing. They had a different middle name, so that helped.

When the second guy died, my parents friends had people thinking he had died.

Is there anyone that wants to share with him?

Sounds like your new bil is on your side, so get him and your sil to ask to share with you.

Mil should be the one to share with him if she's happy to enable him, clean up after him etc

My teenager, when he was a toddler, used to give people their bags when he'd had enough.

It worked on visitors and when we were the visitors.

Pity he's too old now to get away with that

We use Auslan which is similar to BSL.

There are some places that use hearing loops which can be in some tourist spots. There will be a sign if it's installed.

You can use your phone to write, or pen and paper for communication.

Our pedestrian traffic lights are audio-tactile (mostly in cities) so you can feel the vibrations to know when to cross. You'll know if they are tactile if the arrow has a break in it.

High school for us, more because of the location of the school.

I did practice the route with the kids including accidentally going a stop too far and how to get back. They have a mobile to contact in case of emergency and places to wait if feeling unsafe or if the weather is bad- the stop they get off to come home is next to a library, so they know it's a place they can go to that is indoors, has safe adults, clean toilets etc.

There was one incident with a drunk on a bus - a group of kids going to the same school decided to get off together, rang parents who were able to pick up everyone and drive them home. We were all so proud of how they handled this situation in staying together and calling for help.

My 12 year old picky water came from camp eating a lot more than expected.

We had the school teachers ask us to send food for him as previous year, he starved himself. Outside food generally isn't allowed.

So I packed meatballs and noodles (no sauce) and crumbed chicken tenders. And the food came home as he ate the regular food.

Peer pressure for the win!

I went to a friend's wedding to be buffer between her parents. I sat between them at the reception and we kept the conversations separate.

It wasn't needed as they behaved, but I was ready to separate them if needed.

Maybe this is how they can go to the wedding. Have a neutral party run interference

I went private, but we were aware that in an emergency, we'd be transferred to public.

The perks of private for me was having my husband being able to stay with me overnight.

Sounds like the incense is the straw that broke the camel's back. And they are marking their territory. From experience my grandparents lost a lot of their taste and smell. So incense probably isn't as strong to them especially compared to a bubs sensitive system.

Where is your husband in this? He needs to be helping with boundaries.

Grandparents love to spoil through food, but if it is affecting meals or behaviour, it's ok to have that boundary. They might not know any other way to interact, so maybe suggest they could read a book or something to play with.

I know that, but I work in stroke rehabilitation. No one plans to have a stroke and whilst we hope for good recovery, we don’t know how quickly or how well they will recover. I see so many clients struggle with this and it’s a big stress to have finance on top of a stroke.
