[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would not do anything that would require me to live life with a small child without running hot and clean water. [/quote]

OP didn't say she was without clean water.  She said she was without running hot water.  Big difference.[/quote]

"Running hot and clean water" was my requirement. Clean cold water would not be enough for me. [/quote]

Ok, enjoy living in the highly developed world, but you'll be missing out on some amazing experiences. Even in Europe there are some cold water flats, and it's much colder than India (where a hot shower isn't a necessity).  OP may miss her hot shower, but there are huge benefits in terms of availability of family members, inexpensive childcare, amazing fruits and vegetables year round and fantastic places to visit.[/quote]

None of this trumps clean hot water.

And with regards to cheap labor, many Americans are rightfully squeamish about paying indentured servant wages or having people live like slaves for their convenience.[/quote]

OP here. My husbands family does not have servants. They can afford extra help but they prefer to to do the work themselves. They live in a small town in south India. I think they're upper middle class. They have a 4 story house and lots of land and gates around the land. I feel safe here. They're looking into getting running hot water. I think they can afford it. My husband has another brother living in Europe and they send money back to family here. My husbands sister works as well.
