Yes I would have taken my kids back home if I hadnt liked it. Having 3 kids we talked about this at the time. And at the end of the day they are kids and we are the adults.

chapmans Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Hi, Yes I have a 15 year old daughter who was in her last year of school back home and of course did NOT want to leave all her friends and move to Melbourne, ahh it broke my heart and I felt just awful at what we were doing to her, but these opportunities only come your way once, so we decided to take the plunge and go for it! It has been a roller coaster ride to say the least, but now we have been here for 7 months and our daughter loves it!! So much so, she says she never wants to go back to the UK!! She loves her school, her teachers, her lessons ( shock horror! ) and has made some lovely friends, plus now has a boyfriend. My opinion now is, Kids are resilient and adapt well, it is the parents who suffer the most!! Good Luck! Hi is there anyone who has children who didnt want to go to oz, but did go with thier family and now think its great, my daughter is 12 and has made some good friends at secondary school and doesnt want to leave . also she would be leaving her stepsister who is 25 and just recently had a baby. Is there anyone who can reassure her that it will be ok . I think i am doing the right thing for my family . How has it worked out for anyone else.

Annette x Hi Annette My eldest went into year 11 and made some reaaly great friends, school was fine she was a bit oh God have a really got to go to school again, but she said she was glad it made life a lot easier for her. She finished school last nov and passed her A levels and is now going to college in feb, life is a lot better for her here. She speaks to all her mates and they ask her to come home and she tells them to come here, shes never going home she tell me this is home. We all worry but please try and not to.
