Leaving sons and daughters?
Hi all
Still looking into all the pros and cons of emigrating. However son age 17 is not keen to move as has girlfriend etc and wants to go to university with his mates. But we are still considering moving with our other 2 girls (age 9 and 6)
Has anyone else been through similar situation? Did it work?
Any advice willingly received!!

Are you happy leaving him behind?
If he stays, I'm guessing he'll need financial support from you during that time. How will you do this?
Do you still have close family in the UK that he can turn to if he gets in a 'scrape'?

Re: Leaving sons and daughters?
Yeah on surface he says he is happy to stay behind but whether he means it or is just putting brave face on i dunno
When he goes to uni will probably have to leave country to be able to afford to keep him !!
Julie(wife) isnt sure whether she can move that far away from him in case of emergencies although we havent had any in last 17 years !!
There is plenty of family around for him near where we live now so that shouldnt be a problem
I guess its the thought on both sides that you are 24 hours away and an expensive plane journey !!

I'd think seriously about the financial support thing. A 500 quid bung becomes 1250 AUD less exchange charges.
And you'd only be making an expensive plane journey in case of an emergency right - and thats always money well spent regardless of cost.

leaving me 21 year old married woman (no prob)
and 17yr old brother who moved in with mums brother and wife
here in the uk
he(now 21)
still lives with them and is and has been fine
why dont you put him on the application then just get him to validate
so he can come and go as he wants or change his mind at any time ??
thats what my mum did but stuborn little bugger wouldnt validate !!!
i think he will regret this when he gets to certain age
as he will have to apply off his own back
