Fanie Van SA Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Hi Carl,I'm so sorry to hear things didn't work out for you guys there.That's why I'm still here in SA, without PR its not worth the trouble going there. For me its to expensive. I know Aus will be a nice place to stay in but to be honest I would miss SA too much!Sterkte maat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koosd Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Ons is nou amper 6 maande in Melbourne en die het dit na die eerste 2 maande erg oorweeg om terug te gaan. Ons kinders was baie ongelukkig en wou net nie aanpas. Ons was op die punt om dit te oorweeg om terug te gaan toe die kinders sommer net so oornag verander het. Hul het meer betrokke begin raak by die skool en maats het kom kuier en van daar het dinge net beter geword. Hul het maar nog hul op en af dae, maar is nou baie meer positief oor hul nuwe lewe in Oz. Almal dink kinders moet vinnig aanpas, maar hul het dit ook baie moeilik in die aanpassings proses. As jy nou vra of hul wil terug gaan SA toe permanent, se hul nee net vir n kuier. So ek sal almal aanraai om dit tyd te gee...dit word beter......Cecile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As hulle eers teenagers is, dit is dan n ander storie. Maar party pas seker makliker aan soos ander. Ek begin ook al wonder of ons n grooooooooooot fout gemaak het. Maar ons is nou eers 8 maande hier, dit sal beter word, ek glo en hoop maar. Ek sien nie kans om weer te trek nie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sa2Nz2Oz Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 Just read your reasons why you are going back, I really understand you and can relate to it, I do not have kids but understand their plight. Yes some state schools are pretty rough and run down because I have done some work on them and yes toilets are disgusting and full of tagging, the buildings really need money and yes the kids have major problems and absolutely no respect - not all of them. All I can say at least you have realised this is affecting your family and their happiness, happiness is the most important thing to have. You know it will work out for you when you return, there are many who have returned from all over the world and are very happy and are all back in their usual routine. My brother and partner joined me to stay and were not happy, didnt make things meet financially etc, they went back to SA with nothing but to family and friends - they are now happier than ever and it all worked out at the end of the day, after 3 yrs they have a townhouse, the car and motorbikes! She is a hairdresser and my brother does some welding & bits and bobs.All the best with the move and things happen for a reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
