Re: Miserable /Unhappy in NZ - for those unhappy in/with NZ

That's how I feel. I'd be terrified if one of my family was to come here based on anything I said. Their life wasn't good for me so why should mine be good for them? I know for a fact that my son...

Re: Miserable /Unhappy in NZ - for those unhappy in/with NZ

Re: Miserable /Unhappy in NZ - for those unhappy in/with NZ
