My husband works in a fantastic job. He'sHe's been offered by his company the option to move to America for a month or so each year. It would be all done not in term time even though none of my children are at school yet. It would mean our entire family having to move to America for those couple of months each year. It would basically be every single holiday that isn't in term time. Having informed my family that I'm due to leave the UK for only a couple of months a year my mother is now trying her best to get us to stay. She says that the kids will be teased, that we won't be able to fit it in and that it will be so hard for the children it to adjust to the move. She said I'm taking her grandchildren away from her. After I laughed her suspicions off she then began to cry and say that the kids will be teased for their names. This is now her main argument and she continually talks about how they won't like the kids names. I'm pregnant by the way. Haven't told her yet. Is it wrong of me to let the kids spend all their holidays in America?

Maisie and Oliver?! You've picked perfectly normal names. Your mother is odd.

If it was my mum, I would assume it's her usual thing of having to make everything about her
