All that upset and fuss for what?
Hi Everyone
I don't know if anyone remembers me. but we lived in Melbourne for 5 years and New Zealand for 7 years. I was never happy, and due to the expense only went home only 3 times in all that time. I felt guilty at the thought of dragging everyone back to the uk, but at the same time could not see myself in OZ. I thought it was boring, and felt trapped, especially after my daughter moved back to UK. To cut a long story short we now are living in Dubai (a compromise), I have lost that empty feeling and feel much better about life, just knowing I can go home, and this place is not forever. As for my two remaining children who were crying, I've ruined there lives, and how great Australia was. After 3 months are doing more than they ever did there, and the eldest said the other day "I was thinking about it, it was a bit boring in Australia. I thought they would have had me stay there for the rest of my life if I'd of given in to their cries. So anyone going through the same thing, the kids get over it very quickly also a happy mum makes a better mum. Mandy |

Yipee! I am a happy Mum again too and have to say that "Mum" is the lynchpin of our family so everyone is happier. Could not agree more about the boring part. Glad to hear you have escaped and have a more fulfilled life. :thumbup:
