notaclue Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 arrived in illawarra, which is a lovely place, albeit quiet. My problem is finding likeminded people. It is very very child/family orientated - which is ok - but when i suggested a night out to the few people i have met here (not been here long at all), everyone had some childrens sport activity to do and looked at me like i was the local wino. I am about to start work so will be doing exactly what i did in the uk, which is juggle work with the kids stuff. For me, this is the only way i can keep some identity and to have a conversation that doesnt revolve around small children. Suggested some ladies day at the races - which no-one i have met yet is even remotely interested in. Never been to one myself - but i am willing to give it a go before i knock it. Surely someone must live not solely for the kids?:huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scousers Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Wish you lived in Melbourne, i've had this problem for a long time. Have realised i am just a mum now, which is driving me to distraction. How i would love to actually care what i wear and to go out at night to something other than the dreaded BBQ. Good luck in finding someone nearby who thinks like you and me.
