I have family that live about 300 miles from me and while my 6yo is on half term I decided that we should go and see them to get out of the house and do something different.

Aside from the general worry of having to deal with people and transport, I did OK. We had a couple of days with my sister and it was heaven. I really relaxed and felt calm.

Now we're at my dads and its worse than being at home. They literally barely speak to me and I don't mind they are giving my daughter all the attention, but I'm here too. I was awake at 3am feeling worried and even had to work up the courage to use the bathroom because I was so worried about waking someone. Now I'm hiding in the bedroom because I don't want to have to speak to anyone. We're not even allowed the TV on!

I just feel like this was the worst idea ever. I feel so on edge and nervous. I just want to go home but I can't because they are driving us home in a day or 2. Really not enjoying this at all.
