Moving to Perth this August

[tiff]

Hi all this is my first post. My hubby and I move to Perth this August from North London. Unfortunately my 17 year old son wants to stay behind to finish his education. Although I got him a visa in case he wants to come out sooner. Already I am devastated about him not moving over, but I have booked him a flight out for Christmas....

My hubby is a paramedic, and I have also been a paramedic for 12 years, but pleased to say I am retiring to start my own business. So all change here.

Anyway, I just wanted to say hi.

Hi Tiff
welcome to pio.
sorry to hear your son doesn't want to go to Oz. maybe he will change his mind after he's been at xmas, and you will have found your feet and be able to take him to all the great places Oz has to offer.

Hi Tiff
A big welcome! It must be really hard to not have your son come with you but at 17 he's old enough to make his own chices. Lets hope when he visits & sees Perth that he'll perhaps change his mind

Thanks PPP. It certainly is tough, the guilt the worry etc. But I know it's now or never for us to go.

Hi Tiff,

Welcome to PiO! We are headed for Perth too and hoping to get there for March 2009 - luckily our three boys are too young to have much of a say in the move...our eldest keeps saying that he has been having dreams about Australia..lol! My OH Jeff is a nurse and has a job waiting for him when we get there.

I don't envy your situation with your son, maybe once he has had the chance to visit he will change his mind about making the move :)

Take care and good luck with everything.

HI Tiff we have 4 kids and only the younger one is coming, she will be 17. One of them not coming is our Tiff!!! We will be in Perth October this year. You know you will see him at Xmas mine not coming over for visit for about 2 years!! Hope your son likes it and will stay with you.

Thanks Diesel and Verina, and good luck with your moves. I cannot believe how stressful it is.... I am bringing over my pregnant horse and my dog, and that in itself is a feat, logistically.

Still, I am sure we will cope, albeit with less hair then we started with.
