To see Dh in school holidays, would it work as a family

Currently live abroad, 2 ish hours from the uk

I want to move back for Dd’s schooling and to be close for ageing parents

Dh has a business where we currently are and can make more money than in the uk

Do you think a family could survive seeing each other every half term holiday? We would fly over for every school holiday and spend all summer there. Any extra holidays Dh has he would come to us.

I can continue my career and make more money in the uk (v difficult to do where we are)

Does this sound crazy or could it work?

I worked lots of rotations. Month on/month off etc. loads of people do it. A lot of my colleagues choose it over dragging family around!
