[quote=Anonymous]OP, I get that you are stressed and between and rock and a hard place. Would it work for you to go longer and your husband to just join for part of the two weeks? You could go in advance (with money) and help stock up with groceries. If the issue is financial, that can be addressed. If you are feeling stressed because you are embarrassed about the financial situation of your parents, then I suggest you be very upfront about that with your DH and get his help navigating. Something like: “Hon, I just want to to know that this trip planning is hard on me. I’ve seen the way you were raised. And although my parents are amazing people and I feel blessed to have been raised by them, I can’t help but feel embarrassed as I think about taking you to see their home. Their dignity matters a lot to me so I’d love your help in figuring out how I can take you home but in a way that works for me, my parents and for you.”[/quote]
