Odd and Odd

So odd things be occuring in Martin's family.

Martin tells me last Friday that his sister Marika and family might move to Slovakia and from the information relayed it wasn't so much a "hey we're thinking of doing this life changing experience" more of "we're doing this life changing experience"

Now for reference Marika and her husband Peter are both from Slovakia. i'm not sure when Peter came over but Martin's family left when he was four and arrived in Australia about a year later so about when Marika was in her mid teens. Marika and Peter have three kids the eldest Emily is in her first year of high school, adam is in year 3 (I think) and Lily is 3. The older two speak both slovak and english at home so language barrier wouldn't be so much problem, Lily at age three is still kinda garbling both but she's getting there.

Martin's mum Maria wasn't included in any discussions Peter and Marika had originally but Martin's dad Frank was which pissed off and upset Maria a great deal.

So as Martin and I see it there are a few problems with them moving back to Slovakia.

1) To our knowledge neither of them have any working qualifications in Slovakia
2) Schools in europe apparently are more advanced than hear in Australia meaning Adam and Emily would be behind other students in their peer groups. I believe Emily would handle this better than Adam and I have some concerns as to how he would react socially and emotionally.
3) They have five freaking loans.
4) Maria lives for her grandchildren. I do mean lives.

There are a few other things floating around in my mind but those are the primary ones.

To make things a little more interesting Marika called martin today to ask us to come over on friday and talk, peter wont be there just us and the kids.
