Is it normal to feel this homesick?

I have always been a home bird and I love to get back to my home everyday even though I am travelling for work to different cities even when my colleagues are staying overnight at hotels and they have a party, I just come back home on 3 hours each way train rides. I always look forward to seeing my husband and DC who are a toddler and baby.
I can remember for when I was little that I absolutely enjoyed being at home. Even now in my 30s, I just want to be back home.
I have come to New York to see family but I keep missing my home in the UK. I have got my DC along but DH is in UK. It's been 2 weeks and I am so homesick, the trip is for a month.
Even when I go on holiday for 7 days, I start missing home after 4 days and look forward to going back.
My DH thinks I am being dramatic but honestly I miss my home so much even though I might be absolutely loving my holiday and enjoying my time. Has anyone else felt this way or is it just me!

A month is a long time. Is he missing you and DC?

I like being at home too. Always can’t wait to get back!

My DH is very easy going and I don't think he has ever said that he misses home. Though he loves to have a lie down and mostly work from home.
