MY MUM'S HONEST THOUGHTS ABOUT GERMANY & me leaving New Zealand to live there

Your mom is so sweet. What a supportive mom. You’re lucky to have her as your mom but she’s lucky to have you as her daughter as well. I bet she’s proud of you. :)

i am a strong big guy with a big beard and tough and all. seeing you cry while talking to your mom made me sheed a tear. i need to punch a wall now to feel manly again😂 this is worse than bambi or dumbo for me! you 2 are so lovely people and your mom is so open minded and absolutely big hearted. she is understanding things and people very well with her mindset. from watching the first few minutes i could already tell, she is very smart and clever and has an optimistic attitude. i loved watching this! have a nice weekend😘

I'm now commenting on a lot of your bid but it kind of feels like I'm joining a conversation ( you talk to the camera it feels like u talk to me ;)) so I just have to say that your mum seems like a lovely, open person, kind and sweet and believing she did everything she had to to give you ( and your siblings) a good start and you spread your wings. But I also believe that parents who have more than one child it's kind of easier for them to let children leave the nest. I think.

[@Traubenjaeger]

It needs a strong, supportive mum, to encourage kids to not only leave home, but to leave it and settle in another country. It’s this feeling of being unconditionally loved, and supported, even when you are thousands of miles away. I especially loved to hear she worked/still work with children. She obviously did an excellent job on her own kids.

[@septemberrain3197]

What a wonderful woman your mum is. You're really blessed with her. This is what love is about. To be happy if your beloved ones are happy. And to be interested in their lives. I mean really interested and not for the reason to judge. And how reflected you both are. It is amazing. It is so much better to have such intense quality time rather than living close to each other and take it for granted. But seeing what a warm and supportive woman she is, I totally get how hard it must be sometimes to live so far away from her. What a beautiful woman, inside and out. You've got good genes ;-) Love this video! Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@BlissLovePeace]

Your mom surely is one of the kindest people on the planet ... how adorable ... Greetings to NZ!!!

[@reenie4299]

Reserved, private, orderly, and completely honest. I think it's genetic. I was the first Canadian child of German immigrants. One could argue these traits are mine because of the influence of German parents. But I see them sooo strongly in my daughter as well. One of my earliest memories is of my mother, writing letters to her mom back in Germany, on the tissue-thin blue airmail paper. And the letters that would come from my Oma on the same blue paper. Even mail was "expensive" back then, so tissue-thin paper weighed less and cost less to post. How lucky we are today with the technology to bridge the distance

[@karlwhite2733]

Your Mom is wonderful. 💙

[@marthacecille591]

I instantly started to cry, when your mother said that she was happy when you extented your visa because things were going well withnrobert. That's the mother i want to be one day. Care for your children, love your children, prepare them for life and then let them go to live their own life 😙 and even if she is so far away, one can see that you have a great relationship 😍

I’ll be leaving for Germany permanently in a couple of days, and as much as my parents really like my German boyfriend, they’re not fans of me leaving. I hope one day they’ll be as open as your mum.

[@bravegirlarise7672]

I loved this! Such a great relationship between you two. And I loved how when you said she never made you feel guilty for living there she said that's not a parent's job. I feel like parents often make grown kids feel guilty even after marriage. She seems so sweet and supportive. 😍

[@mindthegap741]

You have wonderful mom. So glad you shared this video. This reminds me of my daughter and me. She moved to Germany 5 years ago for love. Fortunately for her, she speaks German perfectly because I'm German living in the US for the past 30 years. Interestingly, she still had similar struggles regarding cultural differences that you had. The good part is that I can relate to her experiences since I went through the same thing many years ago. And your mother is so right when she says that the technology today is amazing and helping to keep in touch especially with the grandchildren.

[@ddgolightly5766]

OMGosh, your mum is such a lovely person !!! 💖💖💖 I keep my fingers crossed that she will stay healthy for many, many more years, so that she can visit you, the kids, and Robert plenty of times !!!! Give her a hug and a big kiss from me, and when you want to show her Germany then visit our Rhineland-Palatinate region, wich is similar to franconia with the wine, veggies and palatinate- woods areas. We are close to France, so you can make a visit to the Alsace and show her another country ! Have a good time y'all, with plenty of fun and wonderful moments, and I hope that your mum will still be with you for a couple more weeks ! 🍀

[@sandracarli1110]

Both my parents (Italians) left their regions to settle down 1000 km away from their homes, in Tuscany where, I grew up. I live in Austria now. My daughter had a French boyfriend and stayed in France for a while and I did feel the distance. Now she is back and lives in the same town as me but even if I don't see her very often, I know I could meet her any time. That's quite a different feeling.

[@quo33]

The German in "movies" is often not real. I'm a native speaker and I can definitely tell, sometimes they have Scandinavian actors or whatever pretending to speak German and it's just gibberish. Or people completely overpronounce everything. You can make any language sound harsh.

[@TheDan84dj]

A lot of people think that it sounds harsh because in German we use a lot of "ch" and "sch" sounds, that many would consider harsh or bad. Even nice things like "I love you!" (Ich liebe dich!) has 2x "ch" in it.

Now watching this video and being so jealous (in a good way) to you. Your mom is amazing person. And your relationship with her is something to be proud of. If you'll be reading this, maybe you have any ideas how to solve my problem? I already bought my tickets and got ready to go. I wanted to keep in touch with parents, and let them know about everything i do there so they don't need to worry about me.

But that's not the point, when it comes to depressions. (I had my fair share of it. Plus this will never go away completely.) He's under constant medication. For many years, now.

What a great mother-daughter relationship you have. Honestly, I didn't have a closeness with my mum. To see a mum's care like this, I have never witnessed before. My mum wanted her kids to live close to her, almost smothering as though she regarded us as infants even though we were adults. My mum was overprotective, so you can be very lucky to have this kind of support for development and independence, and unselfish love. My mum passed away in July, and only now can she understand me. I have forgiven her for not giving me the support I needed. She did the best she could at the time. She had a hard life.
