Still a bit jet lagged, but wishing that we could go straight back again now and not have to wait another 6-12 months before we can afford to go back again. It was gloriously sunny the day we landed and to be honest it made me feel sick. I really do not want to face another hot summer in Sydney, but unfortunately have no choice.
Having said that, took Laurence off to childcare this morning and he was so excited about seeing his little friend Patrick there it almost made me cry... Poor little mite is so confused at the moment about where he lives and where his friends and family live. We have another british friend here in Sydney who just happens to be going to visit family in Uk tomorrow (no intention of ever going back to live for them though!), and I was trying to explain to Laurence that their baby Rose was going on an aeroplane to see her grandparents, and he just looked at me and cried shouting "it's my grandad not Rose's" (grandad was the favourite!). He probably thinks that everyone goes on an aeroplane to see his grandparents from time to time. We did a similar thing a few years back but unfortunately separated when we returned to OZ. When I got back together with my husband we decided to make a go of it here but in my heart I have missed my family everyday. Now our relationship is stronger than ever and we are both looking forward to a fresh start back home with the found memories of Australia. My children have always felt and been treated different here and I don't think that it will ever change for them. My youngest was only 3 when she came out and she is a little scared about the move, especially school but in her heart she is so looking forward to seeing Granny and that it makes it exciting. Kids adapt well and we are hoping to get them into there old school to give them stability. I am sure that your lad will be fine and he will feed of your excitement. |
Re: Got a buyer
Just wanted to wish those who have now made a firm decision to go back best wishes.
Can relate to so much of whats been said here, kids confusion over where they belong, meeting relatives they no longer know :( dragging kids all over the UK in a car trying to work out where will be best, agonising and I do mean real agony over the fact they have got so behind with education, the reality of the cost and exhaustion of the flights back to see relatives, the daily feeling of is this what I want, its all so draining. You people have come out the other side youve made your decisions, all that is now behind you now think of the years of indecision and appreciate its over. Onwards and upwards, it will be worth it even if it just means you never have to do that flight with kids again :D Cheers girls :beer: that should be wine but no symbol :D And the biggest bonus of all, you are going back when your kids are young enough to all be going back with you, sadly thats not the case for many with older kids, seen it so many times, in fact I would probably be one of them, go now, on that score alone :eek: |
