Is it normal to not want to go to mexico with husband...

My husband was born in Mexico. We have been married for over a year, and this Christmas he wants to go to Mexico and have me meet his family.

I am 20, in nursing school and work 2-4 shifts a week as a waitress. Although my husband has a full time job and no school, I am still expected to pay as much as he does for bills and whatnot. So I do. I still have to finish paying my school (1,000), and he wants me to pay for my plane ticket (another 1,000). I told him I won't be able to go due to the cost and he continuously calls me lazy, selfish, and said if I really wanted to go I would be working more.

In my opinion, I don't think he understands the stress of school and work. He constantly compares me to his sister in law who has picked up more days (exactly 1 day more, which is only 1 day more than I work, plus she does not have school).

I wanted to hear what other people think because I feel like I am going crazy. Am I selfish and lazy for not picking up more days to go to Mexico? I don't want to put myself on a pedestal but I feel like I work harder to better myself through education than he or anyone else has and don't get any credit for it.

Thank you in advance.

    Why are you still with this manipulative control freak? You deserve better, get away from him, finish your education and make a good life for yourself before it's too late
