That being said, I do get the impression that the OP is surrounded by a quiet naive and possibly 'rough' extended family.

I agree with Rosie's comment that the practices the OP has observed are certainly not widespread in my circle of friends and unlikely widespread in most of the other people on the forums family or friends.

As for the interference and rudeness from the extended family, it's time for your husband to grow up and be a man.
Before I arrived here in the UK, Keith installed a bidet for me. Now, he doesn't want to stay in hotels without bidets! He's a convert now..hahaha
