Dont Marry a Foreigner

Tbh Blue Mist, and I know it’s hard for you, but I’d be more happy knowing my kids and grandkids were happy where they were in another country than anything less over here.
We don’t like to say it, or even think about it, but the truth is, as Parents and Grandparents, we figure less in their lives than we’d want to admit, and we figure less and less as time goes by.
 
They've just declared another bloody La Nina for spring & summer, more pissing fucking rain. Bet it will arrive with Musty.
You should've hung on a couple of weeks be here for Christmas on the beach. (in the pissing fucking rain)

That is very true and they have a great life so I am happy...... but why did they have a son !!!!

No it's not a Farage rant.. if you do marry a foreigner, live in this country, if you live elsewhere - don't have children. Please don't have children.
One of my sons travelled the world, not a problem. He met and fell in love with an aussie, again not a problem. Not even when he settled there.....
I have just had a video call with my 2 year old grandson and I am so fed up ? Upset ? Heartbroken.. yes. He is so gorgeous and growing up so fast and I'm not there. How Mrs Mist copes I don't know. I know they are brilliant parents so I shouldn't moan but I miss him so much.

I don't show my feelings normally to anyone so I've posted on here.

At Least he's speaking some kind of decipherable English. Yer ought to be thankful for small mercies.

Ha, well, I told my kids they were NOT to make me a granddad before I was 50, under any circumstances, otherwise, I’ll be VERY disappointed, I may even cut them out of my will (;-) )lo and behold, it was the youngest of the three who let me down !

Joking aside, ‘c’est la vie’ and all that as I always see it, but I do hope you find a good balance mate that suits everyone.

Bump.
For those that cant be bothered reading the last 7 pages. My lad married an aussie and they now live in Sydney, Hostralia. That wasnt a problem. The fact that they have a 2 year old son is (to me and Mrs Mist as we miss him like buggery.)
Despite the fact that we only came back from Oz in February, tomorrow morning we are going back............ for 3 months. Our visa allows us 90 days in the country, we are there for 89 days 14 hours.
I am so excited I could wee.

Delighted for you mate. I'm sure you've already considered this and maybe someone's already asked it too - but have you considered moving there permanently?

Me and my wife have wanted to leave this country for some time and probably one day will, but we don't want to just because we want to be close to the grandparents for our future kids. We've got a baby due next month and personally I can't wait for my parents to meet our little one. I just couldn't imagine not living near them. One day we'll maybe do it.

My mate emigrated 10 year ago to Oz, when his mam died he felt so shit he wasn't here for her. He came home for the funeral and we talked like we were 15 again figuring out life again. I'd known him and his family all my life we grew up from babies on the same street and his mam still living on that street.

I'd spoken to his mam on many occasions since he went and the overriding thought from her was though she missed her grand kids deeply, she had had her go at life over here and the quality of life they had moved to meant her grandkids would have a better life than she had or could have over here. Wanting whats best for your offspring and their kids over your own desires is a very noble thing
