[quote=Anonymous]I would have done the vaccinations. I’ve spent time in India. I’m white, and yes, you get stared at especially in the somewhat less urban parts. But I find that *I* ALSO state at the white people I cross paths with! It’s just such a contrast and they stick out. There’s no malice behind it. Dress modestly and take your cues from your husband and in-laws. Learn a few phrases before you go, to show goodwill. Do not reject all the food your in-laws will make. You can add yogurt to make things less spicy, and/or they can make dishes for you and your DC that are less spicy. Food is love. Don’t reject it. I think your husband would not be wrong to divorce you if you refused to go visit his family. That’s a big part of who he is, and by rejecting it you are rejecting and denying a big part of who he is. And your child is half Bangladeshi. Living in the white-dominated US, it’s important to do what you can to connect your child to that part of who he is. [/quote]
