Moving to NZ
Show your support
The best thing you can do is to really weigh the pros and cons and think what is more important to you. Also, if you already have connections that’s great, will make it all easier. On top of it, your child is still small and will adapt easily to a new life. Whatever choice you make, know your daughter will be happy and find her way ♥️
Yes. I would. My bf just moved to NZ and loves it. We currently live in the uk, moving overseas ourselves soon too but my husband is from Australia. We don’t have a village here but you make one, you get used to FaceTimes and time zones and without sounding mean, she’ll get used to it at such a young age. Our kids call grandparents every second day and when we move they’ll be calling my parents more too. For us, all that matters is the kids and our family life. Sure it’s sad for others but it’s an opportunity to make our family happier, more secure and have better prospects and that comes first.
Hello, I moved to the UK, met my husband here (also without family here) and had a LB. I do miss home a lot more now that I have him. I’m from Italy, so we’re relatively close and I get to see them once or twice per year. It’s hard, I’m not going to lie. Being alone, no support, isolated with a child is not a joke. I wish I could go back home, and at the same time I’ve lived here for a while and now I know it would be also hard to go back. Knowing how hard it is, if I had had a child before moving, I wouldn’t have moved. But that’s also down to my personal experience and my personal values. At the same time, it’s true that the UK gives back very little these days. Life is so hard and it seems that there’s no bright future ahead. So, thinking about what could be best on the financial side of things and lifestyle, I’d really consider moving. Plus NZ is beautiful, and they also speak English so it would remove the language barrier that a lot of us migrants face inevitably.
