For anyone who doesn't know this programme, a family go to Australia for a week to sample the life they may have out there to decide if they want to move there or not. They live in a house they could afford, do a job they may end up doing there and the kids do some sort of activity or visit a local school.
An episode last week featured a woman from Wiltshire who was the ONLY one who wanted to move out there. Her 2 teenage DD's, her 7 yo DS and her DH were all unenthusiastic, even after sampling all Australia had to offer and gave it the thumbs down. Financially they may have been better off (though there was a probability he would have to work 60-70 + hours per week while she was probably not going to work at all) and her DD's who had a different father to her DS would be taken away from their dad who saw his kids everyday and said he would be heartbroken if she took them all that way to live which made them cry when they saw the video of him saying that. There was a bit where all thair family and friends were saying what they would miss about them which had all the kids in tears, especially their DS who said would miss his nan too much if he went while she sat there looking totally unmoved.
The end showed her packing a suitcase, pouting and saying that she couldn't understand why they felt that way and there was nothing at all holding them in the UK.
I really don't understand how anyone can think it is ok to remove children who are close to their father and take them all the way down under where they will never have the same relationship again despite Skype etc. I have a far from amaible relationship with my ex who can be downright evil to me yet despite this I would never ever contemplate doing this. What do you think - AIBU or is she?
