My Italian born husband has lived in the states for four years. He constantly talks about moving back to Italy. He wants to take our daughter to Italy to visit his parents. They refuse to come here. I cannot bear the thought of being away from her for more than a work day. I get anxious when I am at work late. I am a teacher and have summers and holidays off. I told him that we could all go together then. He says I cannot go with him because the tickets are too costly in the summer and at Christmas. His mother hates me. I feel like he does not want me to come because he doesn't want to deal with the stress. Also, if I am not there his mom can do what she wants with our daughter. I am really against this ideal. He says he has every right to take her there. I think he should be able to take her to Italy, but I should be able to go along as well. I fear that he may take her there and not return home. Maybe I have seen too many movies.

Hi. I'm American and have been living in Italy for the last 8 years. Your husband is telling you a bunch of bull. Yes, tickets are expensive but this is a family thing so why not bring the entire family? Italians are very family-orientated and I find it "strange" that an Italian man does not want to bring his wife (mother of his child) to Italy to visit the family. Does he only have his mother? You can visit aunts, uncles, cousins, old school friends, etc. The entire thing sounds "fishy" to me, but do what your heart and brains tell you to.

Hey, I've also seen Mommie Dearest....if you don't trust your husband enough that you think he's going to kidnap your daughter and stay in Italy, why in the world are you even married to him?

Your concerns are very valid. Do not allow him to take your daughter to Italy with him!

You go as a family or you don't go at all. Actually it's time for you to dump this loser.

If he can't take you, no one needs to go
If he tries to go without you, punch him in the throat.
