Tenerife forum

[Chrisnet]

Hi, I live in the UK now, have done for the past 11 mths but I lived in Tenerife for 3years. If anyone needs any help (having been through the ups and downs) on moving there please feel free to ask! It really is a beautiful Island with so much to do whether single or like me with a family. My children enjoyed fantastic education and learnt spanish fluently whilst we lived there and the people whether spanish or english were/are very pleasant and helpful.

Hi Chrisnet, nice introduction and welcome.

Why did you move back, let me guess

1. Work opportunities and pay,

Or was it another reason?

Hi karl,jenny... I moved back for a few reasons My mum had several heart attacks over a couple of years and the final straw was last June her heart failed and she needed major surgery, a HUGE worry being over there.... It is only 4 hours away however I felt compelled the minute I Knew to be by her side and trying to sort flights out, kids etc just couldnt make it happen that quick. She is ok now and this is where being over there I do miss however I'm just glad that I can be closer if needed.

[jenny]

Glad your mum is better now. I know how you feel - my dad has had problems over the last few years and I feel far away

Have you tried to persuade your mum to move over here? That's what I'm trying to do with my parents, even if it's just for 6 months of the year. They are also missing out on their grandson (and another on the way) growing up.

Yes I have asked my mum to move to a more relaxed way of life, only prob is she has my youngest sister still in school so doesnt want to disrupt her education. I understand how you feel as the whole time I was there I felt my children and mum were missing out on each others relationship especially at the time being her only grandchildren. Over here I do as much as I can to help her out and things as it happened turned out ok workwise etc still a huge part of me misses life in the sun! I have kept my house on over there maybe she will reconsider when the time is right. Hi strippers and margaret thanks for the nice welcome everyone.

Hi and welcome from me too.

Enjoy the forum. You will find a a lot of friends here.

It is sad that you had to move back to the UK, but under the circumstances you had a hard decision.
At least having kept your house on, if your mother does reconsider you do not have to start from scratch.

Chrisnet, you've made the correct decision for this time of your life.

Sometimes the parent/child roles have to be reversed, but only some of us will experience it.

I've no doubt your mum will be extremely glad of your ministrations, even though she may never tell you.

You've kept your place in Tenerife, so you have a future to look forward to, you just don't know when you will be able to resume it.

We all think our parents are invincible and will last forever, but, of course, that isn't the case.

Anyway, we all wish your mum well, and welcome to the forum.

[Chrisnet]

your right twang, one thing though my mum doesn't know that she is the reason I came back (couldn't add that guilt trip to her) although she isn't silly and must realise. She is very appreciative and hates in her words to "put on anyone" which she doesn't do ya de ya im waffling now. In time if I can keep the house on in tenerife I will go back, point is though its big enough for her to live with us and would suit us all round. I have offered the fact that I could pay for my younger sisters education etc, will just keep sewing the seeds...
