During the time when the foreign spouse can not work the supporting spouse is now supporting an additional person and this can be taxing. So to come in without any discussion and expect that the supporting spouse not only financially supports the spouse and a family in another country isn’t appropriate to me.
To me the issue is that he did not bring this up in advance. This should be something discussed and budgeted for together and if it is not financially viable then they each have a choice to make.
It just seems like a fake storyline to keep Pedro’s family on the show. They bring nothing to the table, so TLC is trying to keep them relevant somehow.
