    Have you talked to any of them to know what their plan is for while you are off? It may very well be that the person they have for backup has a space open now and could start as soon as needed.

    Is it possible that just a partial reduction will help as in asking anyone that can start making use of their back up plan to do so as soon as they can and then you will only have a few to deal with and hopefully non.

    Do you know another mom at home such as on mat leave that might be able to come over and help out a bit each day and allow you to rest more.

    At this point your parents won't be expecting full programming anyways so cut it back to watching videos and reading stories and doing whatever you can from the couch such as supervising lots of freeplay. Put away any toys that cause issues to make it easier to supervise.

    Weigh the loss of income against having hubby take more time off if he can. Ask parents to pick up as early as possible. Anything that limits the day. Hire a highschool or college student to come after school and hang out to let you rest.

    Forget what your mat leave plan is in terms of length but if parents are going to other homes while you are closed then almost for sure those homes have the space reserved so asking them to go now if they can is probably the best plan.
