Re: where???
we have a great life here to be honest, excellent school for the 3 children and one too young yet. husbands job is well paid and he is excellent at it to boot! however, he has missed out on the kids growing up(early years) as the oldest is 8 now. he works every weekend and can work a huge chunk of the year at 70 hours a week plus(this is why its good money). often he stays away from home at very short notice. we are scottish but have lived in england for 10 years, so being away form relatives isnt a problem, we do very well actually.
so to sum it all up, my husband is slowly disliking this country more and more(as many of us here are!) and doesnt want to miss out on anymore of the kids growing up. he sees it as a better life for us and his children in cananda and it doesnt seem to be set at this pace we are at here right now(which is go go go!!!) just to spend the weekend with them instead of getting up at 3am and not home till 9, 10 or not at all at night.(he is a mobile crane operator, along with other qualifications connected to that type of job).
we could be wrong of course and i think thats why i am here asking all of you who are in a qualified position to advise. im hoping that what we think about canada is correct and that it doesnt mean that we would come over there and work every god damn hour that god sends!
