Consider talking to your husband when you come back. Let him know that you wish you were better prepared.

[b]Having to bathe out of the bucket is not the end of the world.[/b] Not eating chicken nuggets is not the end of the world. Being constantly cold would be, so keep your list reasonable, and see how you can work around it, the next time you go. Maybe he goes first and you join him later, to keep your portion of the trip shorter. Tell him you want to see the country, not just sit at home. This will automatically get you to places where you will have access to different food, shopping, etc.

And unless you have very young kids, work on expanding their palate. There are things you can do here to make your next trip easier.[/quote]

OP here. Have you done this for a MONTH? I think not. Our kids are very young, and we were advised that boxed food would be better. [b]We all got super sick during the last trip.[/b] Please let me know what we can do to make our trip easier... I planned how to make this trip easier for months.. there is only so much you can do. His family doesn't live close to a big city.. there isn't a lot of shopping and restaurants around... going out to restaurants and using a supermarket is a newer concept here...

So you've been before? I would go home. Your husband is an utter AH.
I've been to India and had to be insanely careful with food and water in pretty luxurious accommodations. Still got "delhi belly" and one person on the trip ended up inpatient on IV from illness. It's very serious for our systems which are simply not accustomed. Not enough food or warmth is ridiculous for kids. I would be on the warpath for my kids.

Also, completely understand that you just can't "go out". Anyone suggesting that is a native or obtuse. It's just not that easy. Go home. Get your kids, a credit card and get someone's help to call a driver to the airport right now. [/quote]
