A little reading to begin with
A SAMPLE FROM CHAPTER ONEAn offer can sound generous and still create work. Instead of arriving with a plan, ask which task would take pressure off the family. Be specific about your availability and limits. "I can collect on Thursday if that is useful" is easier to consider than an open-ended offer nobody knows how to use.
If you are providing care, learn the routines and necessary safety information from the responsible adults. Confirm what you may and may not decide. Do not agree to more than your health, energy, or circumstances permit. Honest limits are more useful than a promise you quietly resent.
