ozziemummie,
I just broke news to my mum that I intend to go over to Aus for couple of years (din tell her its for good but she knows me too well, so I think she already know the fact). She took it pretty cool. The challenge is going to tell my dad whom we having difficulty communicating wz him cos he's quite negative these days (who says men don't suffer from menopause!!). I know my mum will have no issue to come over to stay wz us short term every now n then when we settle down over there, but not sure abt my dad.
As for my in-laws, they knew it years back. My MIL went to tell all the relatives abt our migration (whatever for, I don't know). Lately, she has been asking why we want to give up everything here to go over. She said over there got racism (must be her other son told her) n got to start from scratch. She's probably thinking that I'm the one who influenced her son to leave wz me. Anyway, I'm not her fav DIL, so I don't bother lor. But I still respect them as ILs, so if anything happens, I hope we can travel freely back here.
I kinda glad that my #1 is already 6 when #2 comes along. I think I'll break down if the gap is any smaller. At least now, I can explain to my #1 when I'm overwhelm by everything n hope she can forgive mummy if I go berzurk.
Talking abt Mothers' Day, it was more like Children Day. #1 wanted to stay home to play wz her toys, so we stayed home most part of the day. I had to cook lunch. In the evening, we went to hawker centre downstairs to eat. Then we brought the kids to Night Safari. My #1 was super happy while I was so tired, cos while hb took #1 to watch the show, I was carrying #2 (who wanted to sleep, so was super cranky) at the entrance n waited for them.
