Holiday tensions

2 replies

dilemadilema · 13/11/2025 03:34

I’m on holiday with family and my eldest daughter and I are clashing. This hasn’t happened before and we’ve had many a happy holiday together. We are generally very close. She’s late 40’s and I’m 60’s. She’s questioning everything and I feel she’s challenging everything I say. Her sister is fed up with her as she’s set herself up as the regional expert despite us all travelling here together before.

I usually solve the family tensions not be a part of them but I seem unable to keep my tongue between my teeth.

Help as this is not nice :-(

"You're being a right misery guts, DD. What's up?"

Could be menopause kicking in. After I'd started HRT, my brother & sister said it was nice to see I'm not angry all the time. I'd had no idea I was!

Thank you. She is on HRT already but I feel I need to be a bit more understanding and stop explaining myself to death too.
