Um, Leanne – perhaps you have me confused with Ricky Martin, Elton John or Neil Patrick Harris – being gay and having 2 children unfortunately does not always = rich. In fact, my husband and I both work in education so I will leave it at that. Nevertheless, yes, the cost of living in Australia is certainly on the con side of our list…but we are weighing that up against the cost of healthcare and higher education on this end. I’ve been away from Australia for a while now so you will need to explain what the “bear and skittle” remark relates to. I do appreciate your input!

Economy! Yeah the economy and things are great for the rich, with probably if you can afford to have 2 children means you are probably wealthy gays. But the cost of living here is enormous. So yanks yes it is safer here but be weary if you do come and live here there will be no more 99 cent bottles of coke – think $3.50 and our petrol(gas) here is 30% more than in the U.S, other groceries are through the roof. But I guess if you are rich enough sure come here. But don’t hold your breath for them to pass equal rights marriage especially when our own right wing Christian idiot Tony Abbott wins the election in September. So it is no bear and skittle here anymore!!

I am a single woman with no interest in having kids but my only dream in life is to have the right to live in Australia, thanks for this extra motivation and reminder why I dream of going back every single day!

Wow! Thanks for all the insight and candidness. It is so very much appreciated and provides a lot of food for thought. As someone who dislikes making big decisions – just in case I make the wrong one – I may have subconsciously been hoping for more of a “stay where you are, it stinks down here” response and I would not have given moving another thought (and perhaps refrained from using my “life is so much better in Australia” comeback to my Yank husband and his family). I guess I’ve always known it to be true. Well, the count of two dad families in Melbourne may well increase by one in the coming year(s) – here’s hoping that the weather does hold up for our vacation in January (which of course will be a huge selling point seeing as we’ll be in the middle of a brutal winter up this way).
