Suffering a bit with 'homesickness' ~ I know lots of people would think I was mad for thinking about being back in the Uk....But I just cant shake these feelings 
We relocated overseas as well. So I know the homesick feeling. Why did you have to move?
We came from America to Germany two years ago. Imagine how that was! Thinking about coming here I got really excited, a new adventure, new things to see. Once we got here the excitement died and I just wanted to leave. I missed my friends, my family, my normal stores, food places, the weather, people who speak english. Germans are not as warm as I thought they would be
(who was a kidding doesnt everyone hate Americans?) so I had to deal with a language barrier and rudeness. Over all a huge culture shock and I just cried.
After a few months, and getting our car and furniture from the states helped a lot, we were able to get out more and see more things and visit new places and I enjoyed it. There was still times I just wished I was back in America and hated so much about it here.
We found out that we are leaving late July, early August to return back to America. At first I was sad which is odd, tho its so different here I will miss a lot of things about it. But more time goes on I can not leave this place fast enough!
We have not even been able to visit home since we left so no one in our families have even met our son! Maybe if you can go home to visit sometimes you will feel better. Im not sure if you are staying there for life or if you will be returning home for good soon.
I would just tell myself the good things about it here when I wanted to go home, especially when I was pregnant with my son! I will miss the food, and the fests, markets, wine, easy and cheap traveling to other countries, fast driving, and all the swimbads everywhere. Though the weather here is not so great its nice they have big pools indoors everywhere. I will also really miss the pregnancy care I receive here. It is so much better than what I have ever heard anywhere else
But on a little rant ...
things I WILL NOT miss... smoking EVERYWHERE. I do not think I have ever seen a no smoking sign here EVER. It was horrible when I was pregnant with my son constantly having smoke blown in my face. That you have to pay for every bath room you use. Whether it be in a town or on the side of a road gas station. Being pregnant and having to pay to pee can get pretty expensive. Ill not miss how rude people can be. Not even smiling at a baby, or holding the door for you. NOTHING. Ill not miss the lack of sunshine here, I need some vitamin D in my life! Ill not miss cobble stone, its a shock my son does not have baby shaken syndrome from riding in his stroller on these roads and side walks. Oh and tiny parking spaces LOL. We have a medium sized car which in America is small but here you would think we are driving a tank. Never finding a parking spot we do not have to climb out the windows at. Plus im tired of not having parking infront of where you want to go in instead of finding a parkplatz blocks away then walking just to buy one thing from the bakery.
There Im done
I hope things get better for you, Im sure they will. It will never be home but you will come to enjoy and like things about it. Not sure how long you've been there but it gets better!
Why did you relocate?
we are invlovled with a church though, so that helps. ...blows not having family around...i feel terrible that the boys will never really known their family...plus it would be nice to go to the movies and munch on soda and popcorn 
we've only gone on one date (alone) since DS1 was born....but eventually you get used to it....mostly we do EVERYTHING as a family now.
