hi everyone,

I just saw this subforum so i thought i should give this a kickstart.

I have been living in Australia for 18 months now. I have a cute naughty daughter Ria and a sweet ,caring husband[ he doesn't help me in housework though]:o

Will love to hear from all the fellow indians.

Love.

Hi Priya, We moved to Brisbane 4 months ago and would love to meet other Indians and parents here. Nitin and I have a busy 2 year old and another one due in Jan. We live in Bulimba.
Would love to meet you and your cute Ria.

Hi,
My name is Sunita. I have two boys Josh aged 5 years old and Ajay who is six months old and I am based in Melbourne.

Loveshack,
Hope you are enjoying motherhood. What is your daughter's name? Maybe we can catch up some time with the bubs?

Priya,
I think that Ria is a gorgeous name. Where are you based?

Ary' Mum,
Hope all is going well with you. Want to hear your big news!

Hey Loveshack,
I was actually born and brought up in the UK but consider myself Indian. My parents are from the Punjab area in India but have lived in England for over 40 years. We have travelled to India many times over the years as we still have family there.

I moved to Aus almost 10 years ago after hubby and I got married. Love living here. I think it's a great place to bring up kids. How about you? What's your life story? What brings you to Aus?

Hi Loveshack,Sunita and Bub7,

I live in Brisbane and its been two years since we moved in Australia. This thread was inactive for a while. Love to see some replies. Will love to hear from more of the indians. So bring it on, people,

Love.

Hey Gals,
Hope you all are well. Priya, Congrats on your pregnancy. How is it all going?

Loveshack,
What can I say. My parents loved the name so for better or worse I have to live with it. It's not a traditional punjabi name and I guess I'm not a traditional punjabi girl!

I know it's hard being without family and your community or network of close friends. It takes a while for any new place to feel like home. Hang in there! Are you involved in any mother's groups. They are often a great network for first time mums.

Nicole,
You're so young! Only 19. My mum had me at 19 and we have a great relationship. I love it when people see us together and say "wow, you're mum looks so young". I think you'll be the best of friends.

well i did go to one of the local first time moms's meetings,but baby made such a fuss that all i did was comfort her throughout the meeting!i never went back.anyway,my parents were here for a while;they left last week.my in laws will be coming over to visit in a few months,so i should be ok.do you have a lot of friends here?

[priya]

Hi Sunita,

My pregnancy is going great. Thanks for asking.

[SunitaC]

Hey Loveshack,
Shame about the mums group. It doesn't work out well for everyone. I had a similar experience to yours. I only went to my mums group meeting a couple of times but know other people who've really got alot from that network. However, it's good that you've had company/help/support from your family though. Very important after having a baby. And wonderful that you've got your in-laws visit to look forward to. That should keep you busy for a while!

As I've been in Melbourne for a while I have got a network of friends that I've met through work, etc. Not many indian friends though. So this bubhub forum is a nice way to catch up with other indian parents!

Sunita

[loveshack]

yea...it was quite bad with the mums's group,but i'm too busy now to think of anything else!
waiting to start baby on solids...
