Re: Sensitivity in the MBTUK forum
 

I think when you find somewhere overpowering it's easy to find fault with everything - that was once of my downsides.
From arrival in Australia I didn't feel well and put it down to homesickness, then I though a virus was making the homesickness worse then I find out I was pregnant, that definately made the homesickness worse, as the weeks went on I felt worse and worse and my ill health definately made me feel negative on top of the hormones and the homesickness, after touring various surgeries and finding the drs about as helpful as a drowning wasp I felt I had to come back to the UK - admittedly on arriving back in the UK both my pregnancy and what turned out to be not just ill health but a heart condition was well looked after and I now have a healthy happy baby girl to show for it but it was touch and go at the end.
What also got to me was the effort our families and friends put in before we left - so during my darkest moments in Australia I thought Hubby's at work the kids are playing up I feel ill I can't walk far and i'm out of breath and I have no one to call on... if I was home in the UK ......:blink:
I was a total mess over there and ranted and raved like a complete lunatic.

But in reality coming back to the UK was a HUGE wake up call that the UK is no pavement of gold either - Ultimately what happened was some so called friends wrote us off when they waved goodbye and we left the UK - now we're back here they have nothing to do with us they've moved on and got on with their lives. Family have taken for granted we're back for good and most of them we see no more of and possibly less of than we did before...:blink::blink:
More and more we are a family unit and we've realised that although there are a few hospital appointments I need to get out of the way first we could move wherever and it wouldn't matter from the point of view of anyone else.

In Australia hubby left a very well paid job working 3 days one week 4 the next , to come back to the UK and earn less working 5/ 6 days a week :(,
I do suffer a bit with SAD so finding the weather in the UK a real nightmare :( and the older 2 of my children were really happy out there, only our little boy has benefitted from being back here as he loves the pre school group he attends that he went to before, but at the end of July he'll have to move on to school here if we stay.
If appointments go well and hubby can find something working half the week or where he could spend more family time then we'll most likely head back to Oz.
Nowhere is perfect but its where you feel comfortable, having lived in the UK for 30 years I have to say that a few of the areas in Australia aren't that different to the UK (in my opinion) and it's a benefit I think that it's not a complete change.

I worried we'd come back to the UK and not want to go out to Oz again but we can now see the problems of why it didn't work the first time.
Oh hindsight is a beautiful thing lol

Re: Sensitivity in the MBTUK forum
 

Never ceases to amaze me. Ultimately being happy with a decision has to be a good thing. It has to be better than being unhappy with one..go figure.

True - but there is a massive, seemingly subtle but obvious difference though - the people who are making a go of Australia are happy and are where they want to be - whereas the other camp are full of people who generally are not - and want to be elsewhere. The people who are happy have less to lose.

The ultimate indignity is like I said, people are then told that not only are they not allowed to be happy, but then surely they are not negative enough. People who are happy in Australia don't go around with fixed grins on their dials all the time - although some new arrivals do I'm sure...

There's actually very few posts slagging off the UK - they tend to come from people who are getting all 'political' about their move and there hasn't been one for ages. People tend to point out drawbacks about the UK - like crowding and weather in discussion but there is not necessarily any hatred and most of it can be put down to blues or a few eccentric things that the UK is widely know to be pretty crap at.

In the other camp you get people who have experienced both, slag off, quite literally, everything about Australia and never have, frankly, one good word to say about it. There's also a lot of hatred which in other situations would be practically inciting illegal racism. Threads start like "What do you hate about Australians" that sort of thing. It's not a discussion about weather or supermarkets, it's about people and entire nations.

This is mitigated by some of these posters who then claim to not like or like Australia - but that's not immediately obvious in their online personas.

On BE particularly, unless people come over as neutral it is easy to set up shop and appear to fall in one camp. There are people who seem to come down in favour of one camp or another and start heated debates, then we learn that they are moderates after all. There's a few I can think of. One of the issues is that you can't really judge the intention or character, or sensitivity of someone on a forum and it takes a while to get to know them. Also people come on and unload in their first few posts resurrecting arguments not knowing that it has all been done before and before they have found the level. But that's the internet for you.

Re: Sensitivity in the MBTUK forum
 

I havent read the MBTUK forum much at all of late.

However whenever I did it was obvious quite a few 'happy as larry' in OZ posters were in there purely to wind up people who were obviously going through a difficult time.

Bit pathetic really.

Forum is there to help those going back, remember many going back are happy as hell about it, its not all depressing. But its also realistic, what it cost them for example, be that money or leaving a kid on other side of the world:(

Its also not just people going back from OZ, when we had a potential job offer in N America, got straight in there to hear the negatives too, useful forum for many reasons.

Mrs B solved a long standing conundrum I'd had since puberty by offering the full package :thumbsup: Legs, bum, and a handful up top all nicely arranged - the product of good genes not just training. Even after 2 kids she is still amazing and has the proportions that money can't buy and which even young women don't have. I've never seen a women quite like her off the screen or in print.

Re: Sensitivity in the MBTUK forum
 

Hope your living up to her expectations :rofl: too.

Re: Sensitivity in the MBTUK forum
 

Hey jen

Have a read of your old posts from when in OZ, remember you posting about your getting up pregnant with 3 kids at the crack of dawn to take him to work and he was never home, didnt sound like a dream job then:lol:

Reckon once back in OZ< UK will look great again, thats how people ping pong. Basically life anywhere will always have some drudge and hassles, often gets overlooked when thinking of the other country:wub:. Mind wants to escape all that and can make it look like another country is the answer. Yeah right:lol:

Basically like any of us, with 3/4 kids you could move to the moon and it would serve up a daily routine life with school, work, kids.......

:p
I run three times a week, and do a bit of a gym work. I haven't got time to do both in equal measure.
She said she married me because she was bored of muscular men with skinny legs and she was relieved to find that I had good legs!

I would be ashamed of myself if I let myself go and she didn't. I would not be worthy. Luckily we are both blessed with a degree of luck in that we have aged fairly well.

The most amazing thing about her is not just her body - they don't make women like this anymore - but also her poise, the way she carried herself (I should have said this). She has this persona that just radiates out. When I first saw her, it was like - yup - now that is a woman! And then, the first time I saw her naked - she invited me into her bathroom one evening and she was lying in the bath - I thought - 'I'm going to marry this girl' and we were engaged literally months later....

She's at yoga now.

Could this be the most uxorious post in the history of internet forums?
