Re: Last say
Well normally I am a bubbly person who takes life in her stride but I can honestly say that since New Year it's been all stress. I have had one illness after another (and I am never ever sick usually).
Unfortunately when I'm stressed I eat to settle the acid in my belly. I'm gaining weight and it's making me more stressed.
My kids want to go back to the UK and I am constantly fighting with OH who doesn't want to pay mortgage for 4 bedroomed house for just the 2 of us.....

Re: Last say
From time to time I explode and tell them all that they are being selfish but it doesn't make things any better.
I think back to the end of October when my eldest was coming over and everyone was settled......
I live in hope that my girls will leave their partners and come/stay in Oz and then my hubby and son will settle.
My OH keeps saying that he didn't come here to rip our family apart.
All I can do is hope that things work out as I have no control over anything.

Re: Last say
I still have hopes and dreams.
I also have a big mortgage so need to get up and go to work every day.
OH and son not working and the bills still need paying. That is when I explode.
Australia was our dream - but dreams only come true if you are willing to work for them. They no longer want the dream and have no incentive to work. I said that even if they want to go back to UK mortgage will need to be paid 'til house sells and they need to work.
I've tried explaining that if I did what they were doing our house would be repossessed and we wouldn't be able to afford flights back to UK.

Re: Last say
He was working when we first came over - before I was. He worked for his cousin's hubby (a mad Croatian).
I told him to leave the job though as it was too stressful (try not to laugh now). He decided to go self employed and give our son a start. I thought this was a great idea as he was self employed for 20 years in the UK and was very well liked by his customers. He is a good worker and does a great job for a very fair price. (He is a slater and tiler - roofer).
He advertised locally and found that the locals he got work from all wanted work done for nothing. He's lost heart.

I think he's depressed about the kids not wanting to be here.

Re: Last say
It would be good as when they are at home they run the aircon. My electric bill was $500
