[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Husband is insistent that we stay with parents and says he doesn't care about their accommodations. He cannot afford to shell out for a hotel for 2 weeks and if I feel like it would be an imposition for him to stay with them at their situation then I should go by myself.

I don't know what to do.[/quote]

It's actually quite simple. If you guys can't afford a hotel or airb&b for 2 weeks, then you cut the length of your stay. Otherwise your parents would stress themselves beyond belief.

I'm beginning to think that your DH is willfully obtuse. He's not hearing what your concerns are, that no matter what he thinks, it's a huge imposition on your parents. Instead he's presenting these stark "either or" choices. I'd be embarrassed about being married to a dolt than having poor parents.[/quote]

Sorry to generalized, but men don’t have the awareness of what goes into hosting someone.  Your husband is only thinking about himself in this case.  If you really want to go for a full 2 weeks to see your parents, leave him at home, like he said to do.  He can visit them another time, or maybe see them if they come to you.  I wonder how he would feel about them staying at your house for 2 weeks.  Go and enjoy your parents.  If you take him with you on this trip, I don’t see how you would be able to enjoy yourself.
