[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes but only if there was a maid and/or cook. Doing that stuff on my own for my child and myself in a foreign country would not be as worth it without American conveniences I’m familiar with. If someone else is shopping and cooking then I’d be packing my bags.[/quote]

I don't get how OP's family is upper middle class. I thought India was the same as Latin America. Everyone who is upper middle class has a maid.[/quote]

Op here. My husbands family has a lot of women who do not work so maybe they enjoy doing household work? They do not watch tv often or use the internet. I think they would be bored without things to do around the house. That's the impression I get. [/quote]

OP, would you be up for doing the same as the other women?  Doing a bunch of household work?  I agree with the PP who said you would no longer be treated as a guest.  Maybe that trade-off would be worth it to you in order for your family to have the experience.  I'd be pretty irritated with doing laundry if I knew that for a small amount of money I could outsource it.  And I wouldn't want to be washing floors and all the other stuff that needs to get done really frequently because of the dust, etc.  But it would be a unique experience, and your son could get to learn some of the language and really bond with his Indian relatives. What do you think about the heat issue?  It gets damned hot there in summer!  Does your husband's family belong to a club or have some other access to a pool, or other means of cooling off in the heat the way we have here?  Air conditioning?   [/quote]
