I'm going to tell my parents of our plans to emigrate tomorrow
Dreading this. I'll let you all know how it went. Not holding out much hope for the reaction. Poor sods.

Good luck, I really don't envy you one bit even though I can't say I had the same problem, my parents had buggered off the year before to France.....
Fingers crossed for you. Charlie |

Good luck :thumbsup::thumbsup:
Ours never took it well, but came round to it after we left :wub: If we don't see you on the board for a few days well send a search party out for you :rofl::rofl: LB |

Thinking of you and just remember, time is a healer. Your life is just that.

Re: I'm going to tell my parents of our plans to emigrate tomorrow
Good luck - hope it doesn't go too badly for you. My parents sort of came round to the idea after a while but I always get the feeling that they think we'll change our minds.
Amy's idea of saying you're going for a year isn't a bad one. |
Re: I'm going to tell my parents of our plans to emigrate tomorrow
...just tell them you're going on holiday for a fortnight. Old people are easily confused and their memories are shot - once you've been gone a few weeks they'll forget all about you anyway?

Re: I'm going to tell my parents of our plans to emigrate tomorrow
good luck. I thought my family would be OK, but unfortunately my mum has not taken it that well. Hopefully things will improve, but I suspect she thinks this is just a 'phase' :unsure:

Re: I'm going to tell my parents of our plans to emigrate tomorrow
Good luck, we got mixed reactions my dad was great abo it but OH's mother went into denial and wouldnt talk about it just kept changing the subject and then his father couldnt have been more opposite saying great when can we come to visit LOL....:eek:
Just say you are giving it a year and if it doesnt work out you will return - it makes it easier for them as they assume you will be back and by then they have got use to it. good luck :thumbsup: |
