DH has the chance of a job in Wellington New Zealand. We are from the UK but currently living in Belgium. My bro and sis live in the uk and i get on very well with them and my parents live in France. My DHs father is in Wales and he rarely sees his two sisters so has no qualms about leaving them behind. I however am really going to miss my family and for this reason I am not sure about a move to the otherside of the world.
Financially it would probably be a good move and I believe our standard of living would improve. We own a house in the UK (with a large mortgage) and if we return to the UK things would be tough and my DH has a 4 hour commute to a job that he no longer likes and which means he never sees out two dds.
Does anyone live in New Zealand and made the move with children? (mine are 20months and 4yrs).
Do you miss your family and can you cope with the distance?
Did you find it easy to settle in and make friends/build a life?
Any advice gratefully recieved.
