Consider talking to your husband when you come back. Let him know that you wish you were better prepared.

[b]Having to bathe out of the bucket is not the end of the world.[/b] Not eating chicken nuggets is not the end of the world. Being constantly cold would be, so keep your list reasonable, and see how you can work around it, the next time you go. Maybe he goes first and you join him later, to keep your portion of the trip shorter. Tell him you want to see the country, not just sit at home. This will automatically get you to places where you will have access to different food, shopping, etc.

And unless you have very young kids, work on expanding their palate. There are things you can do here to make your next trip easier.[/quote]

OP here. Have you done this for a MONTH? I think not. Our kids are very young, and we were advised that boxed food would be better. We all got super sick during the last trip. Please let me know what we can do to make our trip easier... I planned how to make this trip easier for months.. there is only so much you can do. His family doesn't live close to a big city.. there isn't a lot of shopping and restaurants around... going out to restaurants and using a supermarket is a newer concept here...

Did you post here about this after your last trip? I definitely recall these details, like eating only "boxed food," lack of showers, getting sick, etc.

If that was you previously, i get this is all pretty crappy, but after this trip, do what you should have done last time and tell your DH that next time you're all staying only two weeks. Or stay in the nearest town with anything remotely resembling a hotel and food you can eat safely. I know, the family is not near a city etc. Well, find whatever is at all close, make it your base, and make 1-2 day trips to the family home then also have them come stay with you at your hotel/rental/yurt/whatever. And tell him you are carrying two additional suitcases of non-perishable food your kids eat.  It sounds like you didnt tell DH after last time that this is not working at all. He needs to draw the line at his children being ill. Come on.

The bucket bathing I could handle but food prep that spreads illness would be a huge non-negotiable no from me. If you or the kids had salmonella or E. Coli etc., that can be dangerous especially for children. [/quote]
