Oh I can SO empathize *HUGS* being that I'm the rebel that left the nest as well. I see my family as little as possible (cue Catholic guilt) or long enough so that I'm like "they're family, I really should hang out with them more" and then when I do I remember exactly why I concluded it was detremental to my health. The missus and I have made a pact. Vacation = no family obligations. We try to schedule those to coincide with holidays and then the one week we have off together, we spend it together, because though its just us, we're a family of our own.
Fandom right now has a TON of good AU, a debate about what to call "fluff" now since the term connotates that the author slacked, and Snupin Santa 2007!!! If you want links to the wonderful AU's by arionrhod and McKay I will go find them for you. *hands you a piece of chocolate cake*
"vacation" and "mother's house" do not belong together in the same sentence. It took me years to realize I regressed to being 13 years old every time I went home. After that realization, I was better able to separate emotionally - those emotional Occlumency barriers DO work! - and let the folks at home wibble to their hearts content. But it still isn't easy.
Well, there was the 'Bring Back the Porn'challenge on IJ. Lordy, there's a lot of pron.
*pets you* No, you didn't go on holiday. A holiday is when you go some place wonderful and unfamiliar, and you get to go out to eat and drink fruity drinks with little umbrellas in them and you don't know any body and you shop and sleep in an totally different bed.
The only thing worse than going to your parents' house for 'vacation' is to go on 'vacation' WITH your parents. Like me. *rolls eyes* I have a 72 hour window of tolerance with my parents. Beyond that, I am not responsible for my actions.
