So, 3 weeks ago my husband lost his job. I'm pregnant and we are wondering how to manage everything, but started with canceling all our summer plans. Everyone was very understanding and my parents have even paid our way to attend a family funeral.

Just before all this went down, my MIL decided to plan a last minute family vacation. As we already had trips planned and we could only do so much, we declined joining them. This did not make MIL happy. She even told me that I needed to prioritize things better, which was frustrating considering we live 2 miles from her and our 2 trips planned were to see family that I rarely see (including hubby's grandparents ).

Now that we are free, she told us she would pay our way if we would go. Hubby wants to go, so why not?

I'm beginning to regret and dread this vacation. 1st, MIL sat me down to discuss how we can just eat 2 times a day and will eat very inexpensive things. I'm thinking that the young children will not go along with this quietly. 2nd, the house we are staying in has 3 bedrooms...and 3 families are going. I'm not thinking we will get much sleep. And finally, my MIL has begun to lament how poor she will be after this trip. She mentioned how she only had 100 dollars in her account till pay day. I'm not sure how she expects me to respond. There are no pay days in our near future.

Sorry for the length, I just needed to vent. Hubby is so excited for this trip that I don't want to bring him down. I'm just not sure how to get through it or the self sacrificing complaints that will follow for the next few months.
