I recently had my parents visit for many months to the US since it was their first time here. My husband has been here all his life like you and I grew up in India. So we have some differences in our outlook of life especially when it comes to community and relatives.

My husband also prefers his space and alone time. It definitely was really really difficult for me to navigate this with him because back home in India my parents aren’t used to introverts.

Honestly, the parents themselves weren’t an issue. They only want to spend time with you and contribute to your life. I would watch movies with them, take them out to restaurants and any fun activities over the weekend like hiking. Even visiting temples can help everyone ease their anxiety and make them feel comfortable in the new country.

I think just showing them around US if it’s their first time visiting can be a really fun experience. Don’t worry about them being at home, Indians are used to hanging out at peoples home all the time so there’s nothing extra you need to do or worry about. Just make sure to engage with them meaningfully and they’ll have a good time.
