AIBU to be running out of sympathy a little over friend’s move?

I have a friend who moved to Australia 20
months ago.

It was her choice but she’s having a hard time adapting which is understandable. However she’s constantly complaining to me about it and asking for packages to be sent and asking for visits and she doesn’t stop complaining. I don’t mind listening to her sometimes but not nearly every day. And I’m tired of sending packages. I’m sure there are stores there where her favourite items are available even if not her preferred brand.

AIBU to be a little tired of her constant complaints about life there and missing people. I appreciate that it’s difficult but no one forced her to move and there are limits.

asking for visits

Blimey. That’s asking a lot, financially 🤯.

Why did she move there? Were they good (at the time) reasons?

If it were my friend, I would send links to where she can buy the stuff in Australia. And remind her that flights go in both directions, so she can come home if she wants to.
