I am going for about 2 months and the kids are left with my husband. (There is some outside help with childcare during this time since I did not want my husband to take in all the burden.)So it would look unusual for me to leave my kids and stay at my parent's house. The relative might stay with us for a week or so.

I have never left my kids and hence I worry that my extended family may talk about this. Then my in laws are going to talk to my parents and they will have to explain and it makes me so mad.I am worried that it will all seem odd due to the length of my stay. I am mad at my husband for not saying no. If he says no to the relative,the whole issue can be averted and I'll have a peaceful break without anyone passing opinions on what I should do.
