What are legit things he can do?

I am at that point of tired and overwhelmed where I feel like crying just to cry.
My 13 year old broke his leg AND his ankle yesterday. There is a good chance he will need surgery. My wedding is in 51 days. It’s time to tackle all the little details that honestly I don’t love anyhow. My 16 year old tore a ligament at his last football game is in a sling. The busiest time of year for my work in the weeks around Thanksgiving. I’m trying to get over a cold. I’m so far behind at work I am barely getting by.

So anyway...FH wants to help. He has been really active in wedding planning for the big stuff but I haven’t asked him to do much small stuff. But especially if my son needs surgery between now and the wedding, I concede that I need help. What are tasks I can delegate to him? Somehow I’m not sure making the centerpieces will happen just the way I want it if I have him do it. But I recognize he wants to help and I need help, so I think I should find a list of things. Ideas?

Make a list of all the things you still have to do and go through it with him. I’m sure he will tell you what he can do and jump on it because it sounds like he wants to help which is good. Make one centerpiece and show him what you want and I’m sure he can handle it

Thank you! This is helpful, and he can handle those. Especially the seating chart! Lol- I don’t want to deal with that.
I’m feeling a bit better this morning but for sure I am going to give him a list today so I don’t get overwhelmed again.

You could always ask him to help with the kids. I’m sure they’re going to have dr appts and physical therapy as they recover. That’s super easy stuff he can handle while you work on your centerpieces and whatnot. But there’s really not anything he can’t do as far as the wedding. Make a list of what needs to get done and he can choose what he’s comfortable with from it. Just keep working together and everything will get done.

I totally agree about making a list of what is left to do, and go over it with him. If he really wants to help make the centerpieces, let him!!! This is his wedding too, and he doesn't want them messed up either. You can show him exactly what you want---maybe even make one together, so he sees what you want, and then let him do the rest.
If he'd rather not tackle that, I'm sure there are plenty of other tasks he can handle. I'm so sorry you're having this much extra stress so close to your day! The joys of motherhood, right? Just breathe. You're almost there.
