Re: When did it dawn you had emigrated?
Not sure when I dawned on me but the fact has been rammed home to me by the Stanley Cup.
I spent last night in my basement TV room, on a large sectional sofa with a bottle of beer in my hand watching the Habs game on a 42" plasma screen, which I was shouting at. I went to the depanneur just now and discussed hockey with the guy behind the counter. |

Just wondering at which point did it finally hit that you were staying longer than the usual fortnight in your new country?
And has anyone got younger kids who in the early days might not have entirely grasped the concept of emigrating and asked 'when are we going home?' To give an illustration- when I had my first baby it first hit home to me that I was totally responsible for this little person when she passed that first Black Jack nappy and I realised there was noone but me to change her! It was a weird split second of a moment but it was at that point it hit home that I had someone to care for, for a looooong time to come! Our kids were in no doubt we were leaving esp when 3 big men came with boxes, packed all their toys away and drove off with them! |
Re: When did it dawn you had emigrated?
It wasn't until we moved into our second house that we felt like we were staying. The 1st house was too big and too impersonal and it never felt homely - more like a holiday let.
Getting PR after coming in on WP's helped us too, we knew then that we could stay for as long as we wanted too:thumbsup: |
Re: When did it dawn you had emigrated?
It took me about three weeks to realise I was here to stay - getting a job and starting to pay bills reminded me this wasn't a vacation. :)

Yes dear husband- but I wouldn't be normal if I didn't anticipate that at some stage I am going to get homesick! And I am already thinking about how to handle the kids realisation that they won't be pulling into their old street again.
Anyway, this isn't Jerry Springer so get back to turning that house around for a quick sale!:wub: |
