Rupert Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 I think going one at a time is a good idea if you are generally nervous about the move/ taking the plunge. In this case, the one in UK stays in regular employment and keeps the money coming in until the one in Australia finds a job. This way you always have one income, albeit running two households. Other than that, can see no reason for one to go on ahead. This is such an important moment of your lives, it is best shared. Enjoy the journey together as a family, not just the destination.

Fashionably Late Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 My husband came over for 2 months before we arrived. It worked out so well for us. He could do the ground work whilst I finished up closing up the house in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Que Sera Sera Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 I actually wanted to do this but in hindsight Im glad we didnt, it would of been so stressful for my OH, it would have put all of the decisions and running about on him, and I really dont think that would have been fair. At night we had eachother to cuddle whilst wondering what the heck we had done, if he had been on his own it would have been awful for him. Dont get me wrong we love it here and wouldnt change anything but in the beginning its too much to put on one person IMO. The stress and strain of starting up again, are a learning curve and as a family I think its best to face the challenges together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
