Re: to giveup or fight
Not only should you give up the fight…you should actually support your husband’s decision to bring them to Australia to visit. Tell him how you have no problem with his family coming and will do everything in your power to make them feel at home once they’re in your home. BUT …Let your husband worry about convincing his mother to travel. You stay out of trying to convince your MIL to travel or anything else. Let your husband worry about EVERYTHING about their trip…from money to ALL the arrangements. If your husband wants to use his credit card…let him. But you need to also leave it up to him to pay it off. Save your earnings for your kids since that’s clearly not his top priority.
See where things are after their first or second trip. But for now, for the sake of your own mental peace, drop the fight.
This.
You need to let him handle every single thing but make one thing clear to him…you’re not responsible financially for these or any future trips. He needs to finance everything on his own and pay it off.
I’d also make sure you have some money separately of your own.
