While we obviously enjoyed spending time with them and sharing our house with them, everyone needs their own space, so there are benefits to having everything “back to normal”. I’m sure they will also relish in getting back to their own routine, even if some catching up will be necessary.
And in a few months time, we’ll be going through the same again, only with role reversal. Unfortunately my employers are dragging their feet somewhat over the paperwork, so my leave still isn’t confirmed just yet.
