Help - Singapore wobble!

[Esssss]

Hi there, I have posted here before about potentially moving to Singapore. Well oh has now been offered a job there and I am having a massive wobble about it. the contract is for 3 years, we have a (just gone) two year old and I am 28
Weeks pregnant. We wouldn't move until just after 2nd is born. The job is a great opportunity for oh and he is v unhappy in his current job. However we have just sold and bought a house (in the last month) which I had to deal with on my own as oh was away working. I am just feeling massively overwhelmed and need reassurances that this is the right choice. Or are we crazy for bringing over a brand new baby and a challenging toddler? The salary would be something like $120,000 sd with accommodation allowance, nursery allowance and health insurance provided on top of that. Does that sound like its do-able to live comfortably on that? I'm so blimmin' hormonal that the thought of being so far away from family and friends makes me want I run and hide!!!! Some perspective would be good please! Thanks

Esssss, honestly, if you haven't got a stunning career to go back to after ML, or are half considering being a SAHM for a bit, do it. If you go out to an expat community, its not like moving house in the UK. There are loads of people in your situation with no family around, and everyone clubs together. I have settled more quickly here, and found friends much more readily out here than going on ML at home.

We have been here 2 months, and DS1 has had people phoning all week to see if he's free to play.

Have a look on expatwoman to see what's going on - although be warned, our board was very quite, but not due to lack of stuff going on, more that most of us predated the board, so there are other groups, mainly facebook, which are busy.
