Does going home make any else feel sad?

[Scootergrrrl]

We're out in Germany and have just been back to the UK for a week - visiting family etc - and now we're back, I feel really quite sad that the children are so far from their grandparents and so on, that I don't understand as mush here as in UK because of the language and even (I might be slightly pre-menstrual that we don't get proper post to the house and DH can't go into work today to pick it up because everyone finishes early on Fridays!
Tell me I'm being ridiculous - quick!

you're being ridiculous does that help?

Sorry I can't say your being ridiculous, because now that I am 6 hours away from my family instead of 2 I feel the same as you

I didn't mean to make anyone else sad!

hi im nearly 8hrs awy and you arnt being silly because i feel sad and lonely come back from cornwall

Just saw this. Going home ALWAYS makes me very sad at the moment. I get back to where we are living and it is just not where I want to be. I was better when we were overseas as although we were a flight away, and I was sad as I left my family, I was glad to get home as we had a great time / lifestyle there.
Where we are is nice enough really, children settled, nice area plenty to do and good friends but 4.5 hours from all family so always a weekend trip and just too far for me. Could be MUCH worse I know, but I am sympathising. Hope you are feeling much better by now!!!!

Yes, am feeling much happier. The cheap booze and make-up out here in Germany helped... am very shallow
Where abouts are you?

Oh yes the cheap booze and make up were part of what made Cyprus so great!
I am in the West Midlands at the mo. DCAE Cosford. Actually it is a good place to be for so many reasons, but I miss my family and I am fed up with the palaver of all the packing to just have a Sunday lunch lol. Still I could be in beautiful but VERY distant Scotland so I try not to complain . Glad you are feeling better.
