Cut a long story short, I live in the UK with my family and I've come to my home country for a full month with my son. My husband will follow next week and so far I've done 2 weeks. Reason for going was to enjoy lots of sunshine, for my son to spend time with the gramps and for my mum to help with childcare on some days whilst I work. (Which she loves doing and she suggested as she doesn't get to see him as much with us living abroad!) Now I'm starting to believe that this is way too long a time. We started arguing about a couple of things and I kind of just want to go home, or go to a hotel. It's like I'm back to being a teenager and my mum is making comments about my work commitments, my friend coming round etc. is this normal? Was I being naive in thinking such an extended period of time with your parents is just too much??
