I (24F) separated from my husband (28M) for a few months and now we are back together and my family is furious

We (24F 28M) have been together for almost eleven years and we went through a really hard time as a couple. We had a ten month old baby and I was four months pregnant and it wasn't easy for either of us. We felt that we were in a constant routine and that nothing made us happy anymore so we decided to take a break of three months.

And to be honest that "break" wasn't that serious, we talked all the time on the phone as if we were teenagers again (I was in our house and he was in his brother's apartment) some days we even met in some hotel to have sex and honestly it felt really good, it was so fun to act and talk like we were getting to know each other again (even though I was pregnant and we had a baby) and actually that's what we did, we met again, because to be honest in this last decade we both changed and we felt that at some point we got so used to each other that we didn't know each other anymore, if that makes sense.

The point is that we couldn't be away from each other for so long so we got back together and my family didn't like ​​that at all. They are furious because they think we acted like hormonal teenagers and that it's a shame that we put sex before our children. But we didn't take that break just because we wanted to save our sex life because the reality is that sex was always amazing. That break had to do with love and a mutual desire to know if we were together out of love or out of habit. But they don't understand, and the worst thing is that they are angry only with my husband because they think that break was his excuse to sleep with someone else, and the truth is that we both made it clear that we couldn't sleep with other people during the break and none of us slept with anyone else.

And I no longer know what to do for them to understand that it was a mutual agreement and not my husband's idea. They think that I'm a kid and that I never do anything wrong and I hate that, I hate that and I hate that they're so mad at my husband for this. They don't even talk to him because they think he forced me to take that break so he can sleep with someone else.

Other than that they are amazing people but too overprotective and I don't know how to make them understand that I'm not a child anymore and that I make my own decisions. How can I talk to them to make them understand?

TL;DR I (24F) separated from my husband (28M) for a few months and now we are back together and my family is furious
