Guest juliefraser Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Hi Claire I live quite close to Rockingham City shops (off Rae Rd), My oldest son is 14, my daughter is 12 and my youngest son is 6. I've lived in Australia for a few years but could do with meeting some new people, since my kids are at school all day, i'm getting pretty lonely! I still get homesick too! My husband also works away, 3 weeks on and 1 week off. When you have a free day let me know and we can maybe meet up. My email address is juliefraser66@hotmail.com. Not sure whether we give out phone numbers on site or not so best to email me with it. See ya Julie:Rofl: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Burmans Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Hi Peeps, This is a little off message for this thread but I was looking for some advice. I moved here with my wife and 2 kids in January. My wife and I and our son (10) are loving it and don't miss England much at all, however my daughter (15) is (rather predictably) dying of homesickness and its really screwing me up to watch her suffer so bad. There is nothing I can say to her that helps, we have been over and over it and she misses her, group of girl friends, her boyfriend, the cold weather, her nannys, her old school, yellow street lamps (!), you name it. We are in Waikiki and she is at Safety Bay Senior High. she is a bright kid and is doing very well at school (brighter than I ever was) and she has made some friends, but of course she isn't so close to them as she was to the girls in the UK who she had known for three years. My wife says we should see about getting her some counselling, which I think is a good idea. We have the school we can talk to about that and also my wife's work offers free counselling for family as well, so we have options. Sorry, just getting a little depressed myself now :-( Thanks for listening. Wayne in Waikiki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest clairewilko10 Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Sorry to hear this, its not good when the kids arn't happy. We have 2 boys aged 7 and 10 we could meet up if you like so your son can make new mates. We live in Baldivis, my hubby is a new brickie and I clean to earn some pennies. If you can figure out how to private message me, feel free to and we can swap numbers, cheers. Claire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest juliefraser Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Hi Wayne, Welcome to Perth! I have been here for a few years now and still get really homesick especially when I go back home for a visit and then come back. Your daughter will settle in eventually, the longer she's here and the more she gets to know her new friends the easier it will get. She's lucky cos there's the internet to keep in touch with everyone in U.K too. I have a daughter that's in year 8 and my son is 15 in year 10 at Rockingham High School. If you and your family fancy getting together sometime, let me know. Good Luck with everything Julie x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
